March 2008

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:

1. editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam);

   and you must always:

4. avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see Wikipedia:Business' FAQ. For more details about what constitutes a conflict of interest, please see Wikipedia:Conflict of Interest. Thank you. -Optigan13 (talk) 05:41, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Vignette Press

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Vignette Press, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.vignettepress.com.au/?page_id=29. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 05:43, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Vignette Press

A tag has been placed on Vignette Press, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Dethme0w (talk) 05:43, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from pages that you have created yourself, as you did with Vignette Press. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, then please place {{hangon}} on the page (please do not remove any existing speedy deletion tag) and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Dethme0w (talk) 05:56, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Notability of Sarah Jansen

A tag has been placed on Sarah Jansen requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Grsz 11 05:49, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Please stop removing speedy deletion notices from pages that you have created yourself, as you did with Vignette Press. If you continue, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Grsz 11 05:56, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Foundation for Liberal And Management Education requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay.

Proposed deletion of Crowdhiring

The article Crowdhiring has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unsourced Neologism. not even any usable refs in google except hose derived from WP

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. DGG ( talk ) 19:57, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

further advice

Please be careful. Articles on business-relaed subjects are badly needed at WP, but they need to be written in an encyclopedic fashion, which is normally more formal and plainer than a web page, uses the minimum number of words to express the ideas, is written in paragraph style rather than with bulleted talking points, is fully referenced with both general and specific references, avoids quoting from the works of a single author only--and is never written the second person. It also tries to avoid jargon, recognizing that this is impossible to completely avoid in some subjects. WP also discourage multiple small articles on closely related subjects; rather than write little articles on all the different variations of a subject, it is better to add information to one of the more substantial and comprehensive articles. There's a lot of good you can do here, but articles such as the ones being nominated for deletion are not the way to do it. I've made some edits to some of the other material you've been working on to give you a better idea of what is wanted. DGG ( talk ) 22:26, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
