Cornelius Inc.

Mr McShane,
I read your message concerning the small editing skirmish you say you are having. The page appears to have settled down As of 22:39, Thursday September 4, 2014 (UTC)^[update], thesite seems to be okay. Keep in mind that a deletion proposal is only just that, a proposal. If the same editor puts the deletion flag up, let me or another experienced editor know, as this is a form of disruptive editing. You need not worry, from my experience I'm quite sure the subject is notable, and also your refs are verifiable— deletion is highly unlikely. Also make sure to read the deletion tag before removing it, as some of them should stay up, because they prompt for a discussion. P.S, try to remember to put four tildes ~~~~ after you make a comment, as signing comments is an established practice.

Article history

As the editing history of an article is important for various reasons (accountability of editors, copyright, etc.), I believe your recreation of the Cornelius, Inc. by copy-paste from the draft version requires a history merge and have requested same at User_talk:Secret#Cornelius.2C_Inc. This should not present any particular issues for you and does not affect the status in any way, I just wanted to make you aware. - SummerPhD (talk) 01:10, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Images

The images you have been adding to the article are problematic and are listed for deletion on Commons. Images uploaded to Commons MUST be freely-licensed, as detailed on your Commons talk page at [1]. Copyrighted images may not be uploaded to Commons and will be deleted. All images appearing elsewhere on the Internet are assumed to be copyrighted unless the website using them specifically releases them.

The company's logo will likely not be released under any circumstances and, as a result, cannot be uploaded to Commons. The image can be used under "fair use" on Wikipedia, however, as detailed at Wikipedia:Non-free_content#Images.

As for the other images, I would suggest reviewing Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Images#Pertinence_and_encyclopedic_nature before working through the copyright issues. The "Spirit Day" photo in particular is likely not worth pursuing. While it is likely true that your company raises money for charity, this is true of nearly every company of any size (to one degree or another) and is generally not noteworthy. More to the point, the photo does not inform readers in an encyclopedic way about Cornelius, Inc. Instead, the photo is decorative and promotional.

The photo of your company.'s founder isn't particularly important to the article. Personally,I don't care if it is there or not. If you want to track down the copyright status of the photo to include it, feel free.

The locations map is copyrighted on the company's website and cannot be uploaded or used without permission. Additionally, it's not particularly useful. A map of the world with three continents labeled isn't informative about the company. The information meant to be conveyed isn't clear: North America has 3 red, 3 orange and one green... something. Whatever this is meant to tell us is likely better explained through text and/or a table.

For now, I'd recommend working out the fair use issue on the logo (with an upload on Wikipedia, not Commons) and focus on the article text. - SummerPhD (talk) 02:43, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
