January 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Richard chan has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://www.helium.com/users/400848/show_articles (matching the regex rule \bhelium\.com\b).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 05:48, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Richard Chan

A tag has been placed on Richard Chan, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous 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 the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. andy (talk) 09:49, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Userfied

Hi. Per your request on my talk page, I have userfied the article above to User:Geminitorch/Sandbox. Good luck. :) If you want to get other opinions on whether your rewrite of the content is sufficient, you may want when finished to post a note at WP:COIN, letting them know that you are a friend of the man but hope to contribute a neutral and well-sourced article. You'll probably find it a big help to use inline citations, as that will help demonstrate that you aren't relying on what we call "original research". Even if you know the man well and know that this information is true, you can't publish it here unless it's been printed somewhere else. Since Wikipedia lets anybody contribute, this is one of the rules developed to make sure that people don't just make stuff up. :) It's a good rule, though, and it applies equally to all of us.

You'll probably want to read over WP:COI if you have not, and possibly WP:YFA. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 12:00, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
