Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights. Edits to Wikipedia may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless used with permission. It is almost never okay to copy extensive text out of a book or website and paste it into a Wikipedia article with little or no alteration, though you can clearly and briefly quote copyrighted text in the right circumstances. Content that does not comply with this legal rule must be removed. For more information on this, see:

The text you copied from this page carries a clear coppyright mark at the footer. Humanetics has claimed copyright on this text. Humanetics can go through the process to donate this copyrighted material, but I don't think it would much matter since the tone of the content is not appropriate for Wikipedia anyway, and is too focused on the history that led to the current state of the Humanetics product line rather than the industry as a whole.

Thanks, I've sent the required copyright permissions email request. But I disagree on your assessment - the history of the people and manufacturers of ATDs are an important part of why crash test dummies even exist. My text is a scaled down summary and I've removed the editorial aspects to the article that I published on our website page. The wiki page itself is severely lacking in true detail and we'd like to help with that - through the eyes of those that have put the sweat equity into these technological devices. The scientists and engineers that established these companies that lead to today is very important. Thank you. Human Crash Safety (talk) 16:14, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that the content of Wikipedia articles are paraphrased summaries of material previously published in sources that are both deemed reliable and independent of the subject:

Reliable sources are sources with an established reputation for fact-checking and editorial oversight. This heavily favours mainstream news organizations and academic press, as well as reputable publishers of newspapers, books and magazines.
Independent sources are sources with no vested interest in the subject under discussion and no potential for personal, political or financial gain. Because they write from the perspective of a disinterested third party, they are considered to be less biased.

In general, sources connected to a topic are primary sources; while not automatically invalid, their use should be sparing and limited to verifying basic facts and figures (but not interpretations of them). Likewise, trade publications should be used with care in case they promote the subject in a subjective manner. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 18:19, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. Mean as custard (talk) 10:40, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This overhaul of our page is a year old, so I ask you to be specific in what you object to. This overhaul is not all promotional. It is the history of a company intertwined with crash testing for over 70 years and there's historical fact added, new modern images of crash test devices not found anywhere else, there's modern updates to the political and regulatory environment happening today, and the changes to the corporation over the years. Please don't lazily turn back an entire revision. I ask for a paragraph by paragraph list of what you believe is promotional and allow us to address. Otherwise please push this matter to a Wikipedia arbitration involving other decision makers. Thank you! Human Crash Safety (talk) 13:57, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Mean as custard (talk) 14:02, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please address my request above. Human Crash Safety (talk) 14:04, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The majority of what was added was promotional, so it would have been impossible to weed it out bit by bit. . .Mean as custard (talk)
