The Brand Resonance Model and Keller

Hi Lavnastya. My name is Howicus. I noticed what you wrote at Talk:The Brand Resonance Model. Wikipedia articles need coverage in multiple reliable, independent sources. If Keller is the only person who has studied this model, that's only one source, and unfortunately that's probably not enough for there to be a Wikipedia article about the model. Howicus (Did I mess up?) 04:17, 9 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I also need to warn you that the article was a copyright violation since it was taken very, very heavily from this paper, which was written in 2004. Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted materials for various legal reasons that you can find at WP:COPYVIO. I must also make sure that you are aware that this is especially verboten when you are doing something for a classroom grade, as this is considered to be plagiarism and it can often come with a very, very steep penalty when it comes to your university, from a zero on the assignment to even suspension. Now I know that you cited them as a source in the article, but taking their work almost word-for-word is not the same thing as writing an article in your own words and that the way you've written the article makes it appear as if you are claiming that the wording/text is your own. It wouldn't be permitted if you were writing a paper for class (even if you quoted them, using large blocks of someone else's text is not permitted), so I want to make sure that you are aware that it is also not acceptable for a Wikipedia article. I don't mean this to come across as harsh or threatening, but I want to make absolutely sure that you are aware of how severe the consequences can be with things like this and that copyright/plagiarism is taken very seriously by both Wikipedia and academic instructors. I can't stress enough how badly things like this can turn out and how easy it is to detect plagiarism/copyright violations, especially if your instructors have software that can detect plagiarism or are very familiar with the source material. Seriously, please don't do this again.

Now that said, if you do have permission from the authors to use their work word-for-word then you can file a ticket through WP:ORTS showing proof of this permission, which would enable you to post their work word-for-word. However the thing about this is that even if permissions are granted you would need to re-write the work anyway since the wording is fairly promotional. This is fine with papers, journal articles, and the like because they aren't always supposed to be neutral, but Wikipedia articles must be neutrally written.

I also have to share in Howicus's concern that this may not be a notable enough topic for Wikipedia. If only one person has really studied this model and if the only people writing about it are students and/or people who are involved with the studies, then it may not be an appropriate subject for Wikipedia. However mostly I wanted to make sure that you are aware that it is very inappropriate to use copyrighted text and that this can be seen as plagiarism by your professor since while you did try to source it, you are essentially taking large swaths of work and passing it off as your own.

Idea that might help with your project

Lavnastya, I added two more replies to your initial teahouse question but in case you gave up on us there I thought it was worth posting here as I think my second reply might help you out. Here it is:

Hey! I just had a brainstorm. There are various wikipedia:projects that keep lists of article that need improving and new articles that need to be written. The business project seemed to be the best place to start and sure enough they have a list of articles that need to be written: User:Skysmith/Missing_topics_about_Business_and_Economics BTW, that article is under a specific user which is rare, at least in my experience, for a project but it was linked to from the main business project page which is here: Wikipedia:WikiProject Business There are many other projects as well. You also might be able to get help from people with deep business knowledge from one of those projects. Hope that helps.

That was the end of the comment. A few more things to note: when you get to that page of Missing Topics there is a hierarchical structure at the top. I found that confusing because at first I thought I was going to have to eat my words about how all the most obvious concepts had articles. But then I realized that was not the list of articles that need to be written but rather just showing the structure what us nerds would call the Information Architecture of the page. The actual topics needing pages are below, all the read links. The letters next to each link are pointers to various search engines and other tools to find info on the topic. feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you need more help. Good luck. --MadScientistX11 (talk) 01:42, 11 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
