Please do not add commercial links (or links to your own private websites) to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopedia. See the welcome page to learn more. Thanks. Pavel Vozenilek 08:20, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of RichMedia[edit]

A tag has been placed on RichMedia 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 about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, 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. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable

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.

Speedy deletion nomination of RichMedia[edit]

A tag has been placed on RichMedia requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

RichMedia[edit]

I suggest you draft the article before creating it, by following the instructions here: Help:Userspace draft.

Also, the article that you are trying to create may already exist; have you taken a look at Rich media? Gary King (talk) 19:09, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article you referring to is taking an other approach. Once again, it seems you're hunting for the benefit of adobe/s7 instead of really adding value in these cases. (Mike Brands | V1 (talk) 07:01, 14 November 2009 (UTC))[reply]

You are assuming that I have some sort of professional relationship with Scene7. I do not. Please assume good faith before making assumptions such as that. I had never heard of the company before I began working on the Scene7 article; I was simply interested about the company once I learned about it. Feel free to check my user page to see the other hundreds of articles that I have worked on. Once I started working on Scene7, the article had to go through a rigorous review before it was accepted as a featured article, which represents some of Wikipedia's best articles. One of the requirements that this entails is that the article must keep a neutral point of view, which I have tried my best to do. All of the information in the article are associated with reliable sources, so that none of the information is original research. If you wish to add information to Dynamic imaging, please use sources to back up the information so that it can be verified if necessary, especially in an article that may be run over with "promotional" external links if left unchecked. Thanks. Gary King (talk) 21:23, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Let's see or you will create the evidence that can be used against you yourself. Talk after that.

I'm not sure what you mean. Also, I notice that you assume I am related to Adobe in some way. Please enlighten me in how, if I were, Adobe would benefit from being mentioned in this article. In any case, I mentioned why all those external links should not be in the article, and another editor had even removed them only a week earlier because they essentially spammed the article with unnecessary external links. The article should be used to describe what "Dynamic imaging" is, not simply send readers to company websites. If you really want to mention these companies, then at the very least, please cite them using footnotes, thanks. Also, let me direct you to the conflict of interest guidelines if you have not already seen it. And finally, please have a look at the "Wikipedia is not a mirror or a repository of links, images, or media files" policy. Gary King (talk) 00:38, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A very big part of Wikipedia is WP:AGF, please read this over... Hell In A Bucket (talk) 00:48, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

November 2009[edit]

This is the only warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
The next time you insert a spam link, as you did to Dynamic imaging, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Spammers may have their websites blacklisted as well, preventing their websites from appearing on Wikipedia. Jezhotwells (talk) 19:27, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Dynamic imaging. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. Jezhotwells (talk) 19:30, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Dynamic imaging, 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:

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

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. Jezhotwells (talk) 19:33, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
