Re. Transition Design

Hello. Thank you for your contribution. I'm a bit confused over your labelling of this page a 'dead end' since it had multiple links to other wiki pages. Perhaps I am misunderstanding the meaning of 'Dead End', I am new to Wikipedia. Anyway, there are now more links to other wiki articles, I hope the problem is addressed. Since I am new to Wikpedia I am unfamiliar with the 'talk' protocol, so I'm sorry if this message doesn't come with all the correct information.User:Noegid (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:20, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! You understood it right. At the moment I tagged the article, it had only a few links to other Wikipedia articles. There was only one link in the wp:lead section, so I tagged it as a "dead end" although it was not a complete dead end. Maybe I should have tagged it with the Template:Underlinked, but the message is the same: article needs more wp:links to integrate it into Wikipedia. Vanjagenije (talk) 22:42, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]


Hello. Thank you for your comment about posting Transition Design Framework in the Transition Design Article. It is the first time I have posted an image on Wikipedia and am a bit confused. I am one of three co-creators of the diagram. It hasn't been published online before. It was used as part of a presentation given at the AIGA national conference, 2013. After posting it up, I realised we forgot to put our names on the diagram so I removed it to make the necessary additions. I will not repost until I have cleared up the issue you raise. Thanks.--Noegid (talk) 18:27, 5 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it was not me who tagged the diagram wit "no permission" tag, it was User:Sfan00 IMG. But, if you need my help, just ask. Vanjagenije (talk) 18:47, 5 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again.

Thanks for correcting upper/lower case on 'Transition Design'. I've been a bit confused about the correct thing to do here, on reflection I think you're right. I have revised all instances of 'transition design' accordingly.

On the other matter of your offer of assistance about procedure in putting up an image, thank you, I think I'll take you up on that since I haven't had a reply from the person who sent the alert. The image was created by three of us. Am I correct in understanding that I need to send emails with written permission from the other two to 'permissions-en@wikimedia.org'? Is that all I need to do? Do I have to wait until Wikimedia replies to put up the image? Thank you again for your assistance.--Noegid (talk) 17:14, 9 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You don't need to wait. You can upload the image first and than send permission via e-mail after that. You don't have to wait for reply. Vanjagenije (talk) 02:59, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]


Hi again

I uploaded the file 'Transition Design Framework.png', filled out a 'declaration of consent', received permission emails from my two coauthors, and sent all of these to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. Since I posted it an alert notice has been on the image page saying it will be removed saying that permission had not been granted, but I have been hoping this notice would be removed once permissions were processed. This did not happen, and the image has just been removed, (by a bot, apparently). I am baffled about all of this- what else can I do to register permission? Thanks.--Noegid (talk) 15:00, 14 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I understand, the image was deleted seven days after it was uploaded because the permission was not processed in that time. You sent the permission too late. But, if the permission e-mail was recieved, than the image should be undeleted. You should go to Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion and request the image to be undeleted. Be sure to explain that you've sent the permission to the OTRS team via e-mail. I expect the image to be undeleted without much problem. Vanjagenije (talk) 16:52, 14 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, that's very helpful. I have made the request. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Noegid (talkcontribs) 19:43, 14 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sonika

Hello Vanjagenije Thank you for reviewing my page. This is in response to the message you left for me, regarding the page I created. This is the first page that I have been able to create. Wikipedia is quite difficult to learn. Regarding the sources, it is not as easy as you might think for persons who live outside of North America, to draw on the typical sources. This is a big part of the issue. What ends up happening is that some of us who live in the 'Third World' are not able to create pages, because the sources we have, are not the typical sources that North Americans would use. Additionally, the individuals we refer to may not have their own webpages or be cited on those, journals or popular magazines and so forth. Also, many persons in my country, for example, are not on Wikipedia. Many things that can be referenced on Wikipedia aren't, because they either don't use it due to the difficulty level or they can't get approval to post their information on Wikipedia. It is very frustrating. However, I am very grateful for your feedback. I will go back and see what I can adjust to make the article more suitable. The artist really needs to have this page done and she is a notable character in my country and the region. If you have the time to give more specific pointers, I would be happy to receive them. I really do not want this page deleted. It took a lot of hard work to put it together and everything there is correct - perhaps not based on the Wikipedia sources current standards - but it is. Thanks again. I appreciate your help and I look forward to hearing from you. Asierramoore (talk) 21:00, 20 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I understand that editing pages in Wikipedia seems complicated for someone new, but it isn't really so. Important thing is to get familiar with Wikipedia rules before editing. There are Wikipedia help pages explaining basic rules, and I already posted those links to your talk page. wp:Citing sources is one of the most important aspects of Wikipedia. Anything written in Wikipedia must have source cited, so that anybody can verify that statement. Wikipedia does not allow us to write anything that is not already written in the books, newspapers, journals, etc. Wikipedia just compiles the knowledge from different sources, it does not create new knowledge. So, everything that is written in Wikipedia must have source. Source must be wp:reliable. For example, Facebook profile or some internet forum is not reliable source because anybody can write anything there. But, for example, a text in New York Times is reliable. If the topic of the article is wp:notable, than there must be some sources. If a person is popular and well known, than there must be some newspapers or internet portals writing about that person. You have to understand that sources for articles do not need to be in English, and do not need to be online sources. A book or a journal can be a good source if it is reliable. I guess there are newspapers and journals in Grenada, and if the person is really notable in your country, than it is not hard to find some newspapers article about that person. Vanjagenije (talk) 23:51, 20 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your reponse has been noted and I will try to adjust the article. Thank you.

Asierramoore (talk) 00:33, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have made the necessary adjustments. Please let me know what else I need to do. Asierramoore (talk) 02:19, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you somewhat improved the article. Now, there are some reliable and verifiable sources cited. But, still, there are many irrelevant sources. For example, in the first sentence of the article you write that "her professional career began when she was approached, by the Manager of Metronome Records". For this statement you cite the Metronome Records official site home page ([1]), but on that page there is no evidence that "her professional career began when she was approached...". So, that citation is useless, as it cannot verify the statement in the article. There are many similar examples in this article. The article is getting better, and I am sure it will not be deleted, but there is still much work to do with this article to make it fine. I am glad that you appreciate my advice and I am sure you will be excellent Wikipedia contributor when you get a little experience. Vanjagenije (talk) 14:28, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again Thank you for your tips and advice. I will go back to the article and try to improve it some more. Thank you for your encouragement and support. I appreciate it. Asierramoore (talk) 01:08, 22 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Vanjagenie Please review the changes I made and see whether the notifications at the top of the page are still warranted or whether they can be removed. Please let me know what else I need to do. I also added some categories, but I think they don't exist. You can tell me what I need to do about that. I am still tryin to add a picture to the info box and I will try to add one in each section, where needed, in the contents. Thanks for your help. Asierramoore (talk) 18:46, 22 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I see you improved the article's text considerably, there are still some irrelevant citations, but It's getting better. But, You made one big big mistake. You included photos in the article, but those photos are copyrighted material. This is one big no-no in Wikipedia. Wikipedia is intended to be "free encyclopedia", so any text or image on Wikipedia has to be free of copyrights. In most cases, there are two ways a photo can be free of copyrights: if the photographer died more than 70 years ago, or if the photographer explicitly agrees to release the photos under free licence (see here: Wikipedia:Image use policy). The authors of those photos obviously did not die more than 70 years ago, and there is no permission from the authors to use those photos under free license. And remember: Wikipedia is "free encyclopedia". Any material on Wikipedia must be free for anyone to use it anyway he wants. So, if the photographer gives you permission to "use the photo on Wikipedia", that is not enough. He has to give permission for anyone to use the photograph for any purpose. I really doubt you have such a permission. So, unfortunately, the photos will be deleted soon.
Since you added lot of references, I removed two tags from the top of the article saying more references are needed, but the "orphan" tag should remain. The article is still an orphan, which means that no other article links to it. Read this manual: WP:DE-ORPHAN to find out how to de-orphan the article.Vanjagenije (talk) 08:31, 23 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Vanjagenie. I am glad that the article is improving. The photos were a nightmare. That took me a while to sort out and I ended up just picking the easiest choices of how to describe them, because I was getting confused to some extent. There is one where I have to correct the person listed as the owner, because I just found out that it was someone else. However, I have contacted most of the owners of the photos and asked if they can send in an email granting permission, as the caption under the said photos recommend. Hopefully, they do it in time. If not...well, it will just have to be deleted and I will have to work on it when I have more time. I also was not successful in getting the photos to go to the left of the page to have a kind of right-left placement. I will look at how to de-orphan the page and continue to improve the article however I can. I appreciate your help. Asierramoore (talk) 22:15, 23 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If the photos get deleted, don't panic. You can upload them again when you have permission. But, you should not upload photos to Wikipedia, but to Wikimedia Commons. That is another Wikimedia project dedicated to photos and other files. Commons is connected to Wikipedia, so any photo uploaded to Commons can be easily incorporated into Wikipedia article, the same way you did it. But, Commons have same rules like Wikipedia: you should not upload the photo without permission from the author. You can find out the best way to ask for permission here: Wikipedia:Requesting free content. If you get the permission from author, you should send it to the OTRS system (see here). It sounds little complicated, but it isn't really when you get used to it. Vanjagenije (talk) 11:25, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the reply. I'll keep trying. Secondly, the page is now linked to other pages. Can you tell me whether the page is still an Orphan? Thanks. Asierramoore (talk) 02:04, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Vanjagenije I woke up and saw that my attempts at linking my page to others and also my first efforts at adding the "see also" sections to other pages, local and others, were all reverted. I had about 20 messages in my email. It was very nerve jolting and embarrassing. I understand, if I did not do it properly, but it was embarrassing just the same. I do not believe I will be trying to de-orphan or edit other articles in a hurry, despite the fact that Wikipedia says that "anyone can edit". Any explanations or advice would be much welcomed at this point. I do not want this to affect the article that added to Wikipedia. Additionally, although I have until the end of October for the copyright owners of the photos I used to email their permission to Wiki, I will remove the photos placement in the article in the meanwhile. I do not want my article deleted for whatever reason. I really put too much effort into it. So, again, any advice regarding de-orphaning or editing other article would be apreciated. Thank you for your kind understanding. Asierramoore (talk) 19:45, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't really understand You. What exactly is a problem? If you are angry some editor deleted your "see also" section and external links, you shouldn't be. This editor probably thought that you added too many links to the "see also" section, and he is probably right. You should add just few links there, not list all the similar artists. The best way is to add links to few list articles, like List of reggae musicians, List of Eastern Caribbean people or something like that. That way your article will be connected with all the similar articles without adding too many "see also" links.
I did't understand the part about e-mail massages. Who wrote you those messages? What is their content? Vanjagenije (talk) 20:37, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the clarification Vanjagenije. Yes, it was another editor who revereted the edits, each of which I was notified about via an email message. I understand what you said regarding what the editor did. Thanks for responding. Asierramoore (talk) 23:16, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

But it wont let me!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bigzero0123 (talkcontribs) 22:50, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! First of all, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Wikipedia is not for making "sites" and "pages", Wikipedia for writting articles. I see that you have written an article titled "URLTV" which was speedily deleted. The reason the article was deleted is that it was overwhelmingly promotional in nature (see: wp:Spam). You should not panic! You can write the article again. The best way to do this is first to improve the article in your User namespace (here). You should make the article comply to the Wikipedia policies and than move it to the wp:article namespace when the article is ready. If you do not improve the article and post it again the same way you already did, it would be deleted again. But, if you improve the article before posting it, it would not be deleted. While improving the article, you should consider two important things: wp:Notability and wp:Reliable sources.
Notability means that you should write the article in a way so that a reader understands why URLTV is important and why it should be in encyclopedia. But, you may not insert wp:weasel words or wp:peacock words.
Reliable sources means that everything you write in the article has to be taken from reliable independent sources. You should not write your own opinions. You should just write what other, reliable independent sources, say about URLTV, and you should wp:cite sources.
In the article you've written, you inserted some sources, but those are not reliable, nor independent sources. Internet forums, blogs, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter profiles are not reliable sources because anybody can write anything there. Official web site of URLTV may be reliable, but it is no way independent. Sources have to be independent of the subject. The article should present what others write about URLTV, not what they write about themselves.
So, calm down, and be patient. You should read some instructions first (try this: Wikipedia:Your first article). When you read this, you'll see that it is really easy to write a good article. But, just be sure to follow the rules, at least the basic ones. If you have any problems or questions, feel free to ask me. Vanjagenije (talk) 08:52, 26 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. Be sure to sign everything you write on any userpage or talk page (see here: wp:Signatures). Vanjagenije (talk) 08:52, 26 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Danny Ávila

Hi there,

I did a bit of editing, clean-up on the Danny Ávila article and saw that there was a page curation log stating that the article had been reviewed. Just out of curiosity, what does it mean to say that the article was reviewed?

Thanks!--CaroleHenson (talk) 10:02, 26 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Reviewing new articles is part of a process called Wikipedia:New pages patrol (You should read this page to learn about it). Anyone can participate. There are some tools for easily doing New pages patrol, I am using wp:Page Curation tool. Feel free to ask me anything you'd like to know. Vanjagenije (talk) 10:08, 26 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Cool, thanks! I have been editing articles for awhile using AWB browser - and I'm pretty thorough (grammar, encyclopedic content, copy-edit, persondata, project templates on talk page), so it might be a good thing to do. I'll check around for guidelines for what "reviewed" means to make sure I'm covering the bases.--CaroleHenson (talk) 10:12, 26 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

First Article

Thank you for your availability and support. I have recently posted an article and will need to spend some time learning how to create citations. My aim is to follow Wikipedia procedures and protocol. Is it possible to maintain this first article in a "saved/unpublished" mode until I fulfill all requirements for publication? Maura Sweeney Maura Sweeney (talk) 16:16, 29 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you already published the article. But, in the future, if you want to save an article without publishing it, you should use your wp:User sandbox (you can crate your sandbox here: User:Maura Sweeney/sandbox). You can use the sandbox for developing article. Anything you write in your sandbox will be saved, and when you are satisfied with the article, you can publish it in the wp:Article space.

I noticed that wikipedia had extra stuff like Templates. Is it possible to write temples? I saw on wiki some interesting manuals. You are doing a great job continue like that.

For biography my sincere appologies I won't write my memories, I'll check in articles on how to write something trustworthy...

Robert Axe

Hello Sir This is User:Robert Axe Please remove that deletion notice from my article. Because i added some suitable reference. So please review against that article Avatar 2 (2015 Film)

Hello! The deletion tag should not be removed because the article is in the process of deletion discussion (wp:Articles for deletion). The problem is that Wikipedia policy (WP:NFF) says that we should not have article about a movie before we have reliable sources to prove that the principal photography has commenced. If you have added references to the article to prove that principal photography indeed started, than you should not worry. The article will not be deleted in that case, but we have to wait until the deletion discussion is over, and the deletion tag will be removed form the article. You should write on the deletion discussion page (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Avatar 2 (2015 Film)) and explain that you added the references. Vanjagenije (talk) 17:17, 30 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Haloferax volcanii

The information in the H. volcanii article was produced for Wikipedia and Microbe wiki simultaneously, by me. As such the second part about permission needing to be obtained from other sources applies, in this case I am granting permission, both explicitly in this writing and implicitly by posting the work on Wikipedia. Further this article was left alone for a good while in the wrong place (on the Haloferax genus rather than H. volcanii page) after being moved there by another user, I most recently have simply transferred back to the correct page (check the Haloferax page changelog for details). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Karantalsis (talkcontribs) 11:37, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Undeletion request 2

Hi, Thank you for signaling me the fact that references are need.

I put a reference on the wikipedia page. Is it now OK? Can you message me back Kind Regards — Preceding unsigned comment added by PascalPeeters99 (talkcontribs) 21:31, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I see you added one source about Milka Malfait at the page, which is her official site. In Wikipedia, every article must be based on wp:reliable and wp:independent sources (see: Wikipedia:Verifiability). Wikipedia does not allow any kind of wp:original research, we only accumulate knowledge already written in other reliable and independent sources. Sources have to be cited in every article (see: wp:citing sources). So, the answer to your question is: No, it's not OK. Person's official web site is not an independent source. Wikipedia policy is that every article about living person (so called wp:Biography of living person) has to include references to reliable independent sources. Otherwise, the article still might be deleted. I advise you to find some reliable sources like (read this: wp:reliable sources) and include them in the article. Vanjagenije (talk) 23:35, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. When you write to a talk page, like you did it here, always write at the bottom! Otherwise your comment might be overseen. And always sign your post, so that others may know easily who wrote it (see here how to sign: wp:Signatures). Vanjagenije (talk) 23:37, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, now I put some independent references. Is it better now? Im new on WP and I hope my work will not be deleted. thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by PascalPeeters99 (talkcontribs) 23:50, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's much better now, you are learning fast :-) The article will probably not get deleted, as my experience tells me. But, it still needs improvements. The citations you added are in the style of bare URLs, which is bad. You should properly format the citations (see here: wp:bare URLs). Article also needs categorization (see here how to add an article to categories: wp:FAQ/Categorization). Otherwise, you are doing good job. Just keep on working and get yourself familiar with basic Wikipedia:Principles. Feel free to ask me anything you want to know. You can also visit wp:Tea House if you need assistance. And, please, do sign your posts (see: wp:Signatures). Vanjagenije (talk) 00:01, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Undeleting request 3

Hi, I would like u to un-delete the biography page of Samu Haber because of the lack of references. I have added two references into the page, webpage of Sunrise Avenue (the band of Samu Haber) and also my company's webpage, which is the management company of Sunrise Avenue and Samu Haber. Both should be reliable sources in my opinion. Please advice. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Msn1003 (talkcontribs) 10:02, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! The article you've written (Samu Haber) is not deleted yet. It is just proposed for deletion. It will be deleted on December 13 unless the problem is solved. Wikipedia policy states that every article about a living person must include at least one reference to wp:reliable wp:independent source (see here: WP:BLP). You included references to the web site of subject's band, and a web site of his management. Those are no way independent sources (learn here: wp:Independent sources). You need sources like books, newspapers, magazines, internet news portals, or so. You need sources that are themselves independent of the subject. But don't worry. If the person is wp:notable, it should be easy for you to find and include references to independent reliable sources. You still have 9 days to do that. Feel free to ask me anything you'd like to know. And, don't forget to sign every post you write on the talk page. If you are not sure how to sign a post, see here: wp:Signatures.

Hi! If you added references, you can remove the notice yourself. There is no reason for it to be in the article any more, so anyone may remove it, you don't have to wait for me. Vanjagenije (talk) 13:34, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Breo page

Hello, Thanks for your feedback on the Breo page I created. Can you point out areas I should remove/reword to move it away from the 'advert' tag? Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dashnaggit (talkcontribs) 15:48, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I tagged the article Breo with the "promotional" tag. The article writes only about a company and it's products, but does not explain why is this company notable. Why should it be in encyclopedia? Every article has to explain to its reader why the subject is notable. You should explain why the company is notable and include references to reliable sources to prove its notability (see here: WP:COMPANY). You should rewrite the article to make it more like an encyclopedia article, and less like an advertisement. You should read this to find out more about this topic: WP:NOTADVERTISING. Vanjagenije (talk) 16:19, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers, i'll read that and rework the page. Thanks again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dashnaggit (talkcontribs) 16:09, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

Hi
I am new here but I truly think that this artist (Salvatore Torretti) is one of the best of our eras. He is a true genius. If you can allow me I will post other great artists biographies as well.

Hi! Wikipedia policy is that every article on living person must include references to reliable independent sources (see here: WP:BLP). You crated an article about a person, but you only included links to his Facebook profile and his official web site. Those are not independent, nor reliable sources. If the person is indeed "one of the best" and "true genius" as you say, than it should not be a problem for you to find some reliable sources about his life and his work (books, newspapers, magazines, web portals, or so.). See here more about this problem: Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:Notability (people). Only persons who are notable enough should have article in Wikipedia, and the Notability is proved through reliable sources. Those sources must prove that the person is well known and important. If you want the article to be kept, and not deleted, you must find and include some references in the article to prove the subject's notability. Feel free to ask me anything you'd like to know. Vanjagenije (talk) 16:12, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I see somebody proposed the article for wp:speedy deletion. If it gets deleted, don't be angry. You can write the article again, but you should follow my advises and include some references to prove Notability next time. Just relax, almost every users' first article gets deleted (also happened to me). You just need a little experience with Wikipedia rules. Vanjagenije (talk) 16:25, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of article Technology in Mexico

I think that the article is very different from Science and Technology in Mexico, it talks about mexican technological institutions and their benefit to mexican technology improvement, maybe the title should be changed but I don´t think there are reasons for deleting it.

Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by ClaudiaObregónVázquez (talkcontribs) 11:26, 7 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I am not the one who decides about deletion. The deletion discussion is going on here: wp:Articles for deletion/Technology in Mexico. You should leave your comments on that page. And, please, sign your posts (see here: WP:Signatures). Vanjagenije (talk) 18:48, 7 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Pathicadu Pally

Hey The Page Named Pathicadu Pally Not Copied From That Website But We Are The Website Owners And The Contents Are Our Own— Preceding unsigned comment added by Towmuz (talkcontribs) 113:36, 8 December 2013

Hi! The article "Pathicadu Pally" was deleted from Wikipedia because it violated Wikipedia's copyrights policy. It was completely copied from a web page ([2]). On the bottom of that page there is a notice reading "Copyright © 2012 Pathicadu St.Peter's & St.Paul's Orthodox Church. All Rights Reserved." This indicates that the text is copyrighted. Copyrighted text may not be used in Wikipedia unless an explicit wp:Permission is given. The fact that you are the owner of the web site is not important.

Snow Dropping

I deleted it as obvious vandalism. It would perhaps be possible to write an article about it[3] but what he created was not a serious attempt to write a Wikipedia article - perhaps I should best call it trolling, and possibly by Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Redbranch1984/Archive.

Jalpaiguri Railway Station

When you see a duplicate article such as Jalpaiguri Railway Station, it is often better to replace the duplicate article with a redirect to the original article (Jalpaiguri railway station in this case) rather than delete it outright. That's why I replaced the article with a redirect. Eastmain (talkcontribs) 22:31, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Patrol

Hi. Thanks for patrolling new pages. We tend to be a little more relaxed with genuine mainstream schools that are proven to exist, that's why, for example, we can't delete them per A7. Even if they sound promotional, rather than tagging them for deletion, you'll find that the language used can easily be cleaned up. Note that there is a natural tendency for the English used on the Indian sub continent to be rather more flowery than standard English or the neutral English that is required for an encyclopedia. We make allowances for it and clean it up. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 13:00, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, thanks! I know that I can't tag schools with A7, but I did tag a few with G11. Those sounded far too promotional to me, but I will consider your advice next time I encounter such an article. By the way, I see you're an expert on South Asian issues: When I do patrolling, what should I do with hundreds of articles about future (incoming) Malayalam movies (and similar)? I usually do not tag for deletion because I'm not sure, but I feel it's simply wrong to allow thousands of articles about completely unimportant (incoming) Indian movies. Vanjagenije (talk) 13:07, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I live in souteast Asia but I wouldn't say I'm an expert on southeast Asian topics. - especially mMlayalam movies which even I tend to leave for someone more experienced in that area. I've noticed however that with some of your other CSD tags, you appear to be a bit unsure. You may wish to take a moment off patrolling to fully revise WP:NPP and WP:DELETION. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page as I'm pretty much an expert on most other deletions. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 13:13, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Deletion of Indian Army Fans page

Hello, Dear Vanjagenije,I was working on a wikipedia page named "Indian Army Fans" yesterday,even before I complete editing,formatting & adding content to the page,I got a notice that page is promotional and not an encyclopadic article and will be removed.Before I could do anything it got removed.

Extended content
  1. What is Indian Army Fans?

Indian Army Fans is a community located in India spreaded in different cities.It started as a facebook page to show patriotism towards nation,but afterwards as numbers of members started increasing it came into existence in real life.Not only in virtual but Indian Army Fans also started working in Real world.

We make people aware about Indian Armed forces,sacrifice of soldiers who laid down their lives for them,motivate youth to join Indian Defence.Keep them aware about latest news and current affairs of Indian Armed Force to increase their interest in Indian defence.

  1. How : ?

As I mentioned Indian Army Fans is a patriotic community,all of our work is related patriotism or similar.The name itself contains "Indian Army".We work for rights of soldiers of Indian Armed Forces,We support them through several charity events,stage events,public events & fight for their rights through street protests.

Every year Kargil Vijay Divas,(26th July) is celebrated in different cities by our volunteers to pay a tribute to Martyrs & Soldiers of Kargil war.

In 2012 a small run was organized by Indian Army Fans on occasion of Kargil Vijay Diwas in Delhi,named "Run Delhi Run" & a tree plantation ceremony was also held.

After the Mumbai Attacks in 2008,Indian Army Fans also started organizing events across the country to pay tribute to the martyrs and victims of 26/11 attacks through candle light marches & vigils.

From Last two years Indian Army Fans has also started doing charity events such as warm cloth distribution in winters,giving food to the needy ones & also providing school kits to kids lives in orphanage.

This year Indian Army Fans has also started organizing bike rides in honor of Soldiers. First bike expedition took place this year on occasion of Kargil Vijay Diwas,the riders of Indian Army Fans ridden from Delhi to Kargil(#Where the Indo-Pak Kargil War took place in 1999) to pay a tribute to warriors.

Second tour was organized from Delhi To Wagah border.

Currently Third tour is being organized and will take place at the end of the month where our riders will ride from Delhi on 25th december to Kutch,Gujarat.covering many places of Rajasthan including Longewala(#Battle of Longewala,1971 Indo-Pak War).

All of our events mostly dedicated to Indian Armed Forces,and on regular bases across the country in different cities.

The core team of our community is based in Delhi,India other teams based in Jaipur,Banglore,Hyderabad,Pune,Chandigarh,Ahmedabad & Also volunteers across in almost each major city of India.

We operate India's largest Defence fan Page "Indian Army Fans".Our posts are mostly related Defence,Current affairs,Political & non political issues to keep citizen of India aware about everything,make them taking interest in such things.

We keep them updated about Wars of India,Soldiers & their sacrifices & Indian Defence through regular posting.

  1. Why "Indian Army Fans" wants to be on wikipedia :

We want to take "Indian Army Fans" initiative to each citizen of India,day by day people's interest in Nation's defence is decreasing.They lack of proper knowledge and information regarding Indian Armed Forces.Through our community we want to spread that knowledge.

Indian Army Fans is unique community of its kind,there is no community in India which operates at this large scale.but considering population of India its too small.We want to reach as many as people we can,make them aware about Indian Army Fans,what it is,why it is. How they can also be a part of community and show their dedication towards India & Armed forces.

As Indian Army Fans is fastest growing & largest defence page on facebook many other people have created pages/groups of same name & some also got fooled by imposters.It's needed to be stopped.We want to create an authenticated source,where people can differentiate Original from fake.

I'm attaching some of our event photo albums which are posted on facebook,kindly refer to that.

I Don't know what went wrong,may be information put initially was not enough according to wikipedia regulations.I can understand that. But that was my first ever webpage on wikipedia,I don't know how to work with tags,formatting & etc.and was not allowed to upload any content too. I also attached some links in reference to show authentication of our community,various news agencies have covered our events and published.

I request you to go through the links I've posted,there are more than thousands of photos,which are not possible to attach here,so I have filtered and attached only some of them to prove authentication of Indian Army Fans community. If you want to see all of them,you can also check in albums of our facebook page "Indian Army Fans" which I've attached in link.

I would be waiting for your response. Regards, Dhruvil Dave (Designer,Writer & Team-Member of Indian Army Fans) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dhruveel (talkcontribs) 08:24, 12 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I am not the one who has power to delete articles. I am doing wp:New pages patrol, so I proposed your article for speedy deletion under wp:A7 criteria. My proposal was reviewed by User:Kudpung (one of Wikipedia administrators) who accepted my proposition and deleted the article ([4]). If you think this is wrong and the article should be undeleted, you can write to User:Kudpung on his [[talk page, or you can seek wp:Deletion review. There is no point for you to explain to ME what are the "Indian Army Fans", as I have no power to neither delete, nor undelete articles. Vanjagenije (talk) 13:02, 12 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for reviewing my page and thank you for all your contributions to my favorite website sorry if i created a bad page Kendrick Zhuang (talk) 13:38, 12 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! I just want to say to you that you should not give up writing articles in Wikipedia. You wrote two articles about companies (Metro Dragon Steel Corporation and Dragon Asia Rolling Mills). Those articles will probably be deleted because their style is overly wp:promotional, and those articles do not explain why those companies are notable. WP:Verifability and WP:Notability are two most important rules of Wikipedia. Both Verifability and Notability are proved via citing WP:Reliable sources. So, you should try to write those articles again, but try to include citations of reliable sources, so to prove Verifability and Notability. If you do that, the articles would not be deleted again. Please, take some time and read our basic policies, you'll see that editing Wikipedia is great fun, but you have to know the rules of the game first (You have links to our basic policies at your talk page in the "Welcome!" section: User talk:Kendrick Zhuang#Welcome!).

Vision Dream Series

Hi. I've declined your speedy because you can't use A7 on books, or anything other than people, groups of people, named animals, web stuff and organised events. Products like books have to go to prod (and often AfD after that...). I've prodded this one as it's self-published and I can't find any reliable sources. There aren't all that many unreliable or dependent sources either, as is usual with self-publication. Peridon (talk) 18:21, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ms.pradeep76 (talk) 12:10, 18 December 2013 (UTC) Hello. I had submitted an info page and it seems to be 'going to be deleted'. I have not made any promotional thing in the article. It is just an information provided about the new technology. Can you please guide me what has to be done to retain the page.[reply]

Hi! First of all, you should leave comments on the bottom of the talk page, not at the top, as you did. I moved your comment to the bottom. Wikipedia has strict rules against promotion and advertising (see here: WP:Spam). One of the most important concepts of Wikipedia is Wp:Notability. Only things that are notable deserve to have article in Wikipedia (for companies, see: WP:ORG). Notability is established through wp:reliable sources. In other words, you have to prove that the company is notable by citing newspapers, magazines, books, internet news portals, etc. who wrote something about the company (see here how to cite: wp:citations). You wrote the article Vaakya technology, but you did not cite any reliable sources to establish notability. Without establishing notability, the article seams like promotion. You only wrote about the company, but you didn't explain why is the company notable. You can re-write the article to comply with the Notability guidelines, and than you may remove the "speedy deletion" tag from the article. But, do not remove the tag if you don't improve the article! If the article gets deleted, don't worry. You can write it again, and if the second attempt complies to the Wikipedia policies, it will not be deleted again. Feel free to ask me anything you want to know. You can also visit the wp:Teahouse if you want to hear some more opinions from other editors. Vanjagenije (talk) 12:48, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I do not have power to delete an article. Only administrators can delete. I am just doing wp:new pages patrol and I proposed you article to be speedy deleted under the WP:G3 criteria. If you want to contest the deletion, you can click the "Contest this speedy deletion" button on the article page, and write your reasons. But, I don't think that the article will be alive for more than an hour, since it's total nonsense. Please, do not use Wikipedia for jokes or to write about things invented by you and your friends.
