Copyright Examination Rejected
[edit]You requested a copyright examination regarding Love Sculpture. Sadly copyright examinations is not the right place for your request. The most common reason is that the content has already been added/uploaded to Wikipedia. Such cases (violations or not) are taken care of at Wikipedia:Copyright problems.
- If, after careful reading of the copyright examinations page, you still think it is the right place for your request, use the copyright examinations talk page to discuss the case.
- If you have problems trying to find the appropriate place for your request, consult the copyright problems talk page.
Your request will eventually be moved to List of requests which don't belong here on the copyright examinations page. Please try to find the right place for your request as soon as possible. We hope that your request will find the right place and get answered. --Easyas12c 02:20, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
CUNA
[edit]Are Credit Union National Association and CUNA mutual group the same thing? Because it appears you rewrote/copied the entire article in that direction? Did you just copy the new article from User:Cunamutual, who appears to have a conflict of interest? KnightLago (talk) 19:16, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
- I reverted your changes. You should instead try and create the article at CUNA Mutual Group. If you do so, please make sure it meets Wikipedia's standards which can be found in your welcome message above. Please let me know if you have any questions. KnightLago (talk) 21:37, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit]If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
- editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
- participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
- linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam); and,
- avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. KnightLago (talk) 21:38, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
