Need help with creating a page.

Hi!

I needed to know what do I have to do to create an informative page about a company on wiki. It's not an advertisement, and I don't mean to earn any profits for creating the page. Would I need the @company.com email address for this purpose?? I tried creating one before, and it turned out to be infringing copyright from the website. I've got the whole article written again in custom language (but english)... and was hoping to ask and recieve a reply regarding this.

I also intend to upload 2 images, one of the company logo, and the other a scan of a product manufactured in the company.

This company is a leading Manufacture of Medical Disposable Products in India, and so I needed to make this wiki page so that doctors, patients, and anyone in the medical business can know about it through wikipedia.

Please could you provide any help regarding this?

Thanks. -Mohit.

• Wikipedia is not the place to promote companies. The only companies listed here should be those that pass the rather stringent tests that are outlined at WP:ORG. Unless there's something really special about this company you'll probably not succeed. andy (talk) 14:02, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

• It's a quite popular company in India, among doctors and hospitals... It manufactures Disposable Medical Products. I have re-edited the whole page, and added Product Category (only info), and the history of the company. I've also got the logo image and a products cover scan. I have good sources too... please do let me know where can I post the demo page on wiki to be verified... so that I can finally create the page. It's not advertising, don't know why there would be ads on wiki, ads contain price details and stuff like "we're the best and the great" ... I've only described about the company, and in hurry, had copied from the .com website... but this time, I've taken enough time and have created the page... it's being edited further currently, but need to know where on wiki I can ask for help regarding this. Thanks.

• If you put it into your user space I'll take a look. What you need to do is create a subpage which you do by adding a slash and the page name to your user page, for example User:Mohitk117/test. Further details are at Wikipedia:Subpages andy (talk) 13:10, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

• Ok, thanks.. I'll post the page on sub page, and let you know. Thanks. --Mohitk117 (talk) 10:17, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

Your signature

Would you mind changing your signature to say Andyjsmith instead of andy? There is another recently active editor named Andy, and you probably don't want to be accused of WP:SIGEDITORIMPERSONATE. Logan _Talk ^{Contributions} 00:57, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

• Don't be a prune. He's not using my signature and I'm not using his. I'm andy and he's Andrew. If he decides to change his signature to andy maybe you can warn him? andy (talk) 01:34, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion?

Sorry, I was gobsmacked that a really famous person such as Chris Howland who was for a whole generation of Germans the Englishman per se is considered unimportant. There is already a huge German article on Howland in the wiki. His TV shows have been controversial and his feature films were everything but art (somethng that is true for many actors who have their bio in the English wiki), but still that`s not necessarily a reason to delete him retroactively from history, is it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by NordhornerII (talk • contribs) 23:46, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

The Voder

This is a sub section connected to the IVR main page. It was written to show that speech is just a collection of Audio waveforms. The research on Voder is based currently known information (I am a specialist in this area see my resume)and that based on other web sites. I have modified the text so that it is not seen as Plagiarism, however I do wish to include the web site reference as It is a useful source of additional information.

This is not the same as Vocoder as this mainly refers to music and not speech.

Happy to modify text to comply with Wikipedia rules. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bmduffy (talk • contribs) 15:05, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

February 2011

Hi Andyjsmith. Thank you for your work on patrolling pages and tagging for speedy deletion. I just wanted to inform you that I declined to delete Elizabeth Obisanya, a page that you tagged for speedy deletion because of the following concern: the criterion you used does not cover this kind of page or the reason you specified is not a valid reason for speedy deletion. Please review the criteria for speedy deletion and especially what is considered non-criteria. In future you should rather tag such pages for proposed deletion or start an appropriate deletion discussion. There seems to be enough potential notability hidden in among the mess of an article...

Bah... stupid template... you get the point though... - UtherSRG (talk) 10:54, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Sure. I had a look for notability but darned if I could see it. Prodding instead. andy (talk) 10:55, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) I'll have a little go at WP:wikifying the article. --Shirt58 (talk) 11:07, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Twiddled my decoder ring, and it turns out it was an attack page. Well done you for picking up on it in the first place. --Shirt58 (talk) 10:16, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

User-page frolics

Hi Andy. I just wanted to thank you for reverting the vandalism on my "offensive" user-page. Cute vandal, though. I guess I rather walked into that! Haploidavey (talk) 12:55, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Hoax

Would you mind informing me why Konstantin Chterev bolivian general has been deleted?

• Because it's a silly hoax. andy (talk) 16:25, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

I appreciate the peer review, could you please be more specific?

Eric

I can't get back to you until after February. School is out until then. I've stopped the speedy deletion until then. But will comply with you after some discussion. Yes. It is my own research, and clearly doesn't match Wiki's requirements. Please work with me if you can help. Thanks.

However, I'm not able to publish it anywhere else. My hope here was to garner some discussion from higher up, than I've been able to access, and if there is any problems to quitely remove it myself. However, if it is a valid viewpoint it should be published for the AI people to use and reflect on. I'm sorry that I have no other way of protecting my own work at the present time. Please let me know if you have an alternate way of protecting, my idea's, that are within my abilities.
