Do not continue to post the article to Wikipedia.

The article includes copyright violations. (WP:Copy-paste) Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material. I think it's possible you don't understand what is a copyright violation and what is using sources, I hope that the pages I linked to will help explain this to you. This is not a matter of a Wikipedia policy; we legally cannot accept this material.

I see the article was also deleted as advertisement, and as not having a meaningful claim to notability. My best advice would be to contribute to other areas of the encyclopedia, learn how Wikipedia articles are written, what they look like, how they read, what standards they must meet, and then revisit the subject you'd like to write about.

Continuing to post copyrighted material or other problematic content (as you have been warned about) will result in your account being blocked. OSborn ^arf_contribs. 13:29, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What OSborn said. I received your email asking for help resolving this issue, but, very simply, the issue is that you can't just copy someone else's article and post it as a Wikipedia article. You have been repeatedly trying to post an article on Gingiss Formalwear that is cut and pasted from http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1995-01-15/business/9501150217_1_tuxedos-shoe-store-board. WE DON'T ALLOW THAT.
That said, Gingiss appears to be a notable company, see WP:CORP. The Tribune article, in fact, is a reliable source that you could use, among other sources, as BACKGROUND for a Wikipedia article - just don't copy it word for word. Also, and equally importantly, Wikipedia is neutral, not promotional, see WP:NPOV. The article should be on the order of "Gingiss is a company that sells x", not "It all started when the wonderful Gingiss brothers did x."

Thanks for message. NawlinWiki has made the main points. You must write articles in your own words, and you can't copy or closely paraphrase material published elsewhere, which is almost always their copyright. If you want to recreate you need to also

provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that your topic meets the notability guidelines.
Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, and must not be written in a promotional tone.
