hi there!

i'd love to see the ones you'd like to point out to me :) JoeSmack ^Talk(p-review!) 05:43, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

see your TALK page Joe

Movaya Wireless

Concerning Movaya Wireless: Wikipedia has a policy concerning articles which qualify for speedy deletion. In particular, Criteria G11 speaks to articles that read like advertising. Articles may be identified and tagged by any editor for speedy deletion. Wikipedia adminstrators will review these articles and may speedily delete them. Portions of the article Movaya Wireless are taken directly from the "About" page of their website (which would also fall under Wikipedia:Copyright problems and would have to be rewritten) and read like ad copy.

I've noticed that another editor has identified the current re-creation of the article as advertising. Please review guidelines on companies. While it may be that Movaya is a notable company, an article that reads like an advertising brochure is not encyclopedic. I recommend that you remove any material copied from the company's website. — ERcheck (talk) 05:51, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User:jog1973 - I have edited the article to make it simple and factual.

Please note that Wikipedia's policy on verifiable sources. An article on Movaya Wireless should provide verifiable sources to validate its notability. — ERcheck (talk) 06:05, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also, please note speedy deletion criteria A7 — articles on companies should include information on their notability. — ERcheck (talk) 06:14, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:CORP for guidelines for inclusion of companies. You may want to consider these guidelines in writing an article on a company. — ERcheck (talk) 06:15, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If that is the case, then explain the notability and verifiable sources here:

Ok, godaddy has 14 references. infospace has an article in wired. mediadefender has one in the la times. amy's kitchen reads very neutral point of view, very important on wikipedia (see WP:5P). airimba wireless i sent to article-for-deletion'ed....i haven't looked at the others, but maybe you see now a little bit of what constitutes a company article on wikipedia. read WP:5P, WP:NPOV and WP:SPAM to make sure it isn't deleted again, and change the article into a good encyclopedic piece that can be kept! :) JoeSmack ^Talk(p-review!) 06:19, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome! You're doing great! It sounds much more neutral point-of-view, and I see you're trying to get the hang of referencing. Some comments: Google Directory isn't exactly a news site, and the Seatle PI is a good start though to that effect. See WP:V for some steps on how to get the juiciest refs (think very notable, like NY Times or Washington Post; very objective like something peer reviewed). If there 'numerous articles' on the subject, poke around and try to get the best you can to reference your article. In the end, this is what will most keep your entry from being deleted. Keep refining! :) JoeSmack ^Talk(p-review!) 06:55, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, glad I could help! JoeSmack ^Talk(p-review!) 07:03, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lastly

Im not trying to be a spammer, or blatantly abuse Wikipedia. I simply think an article on this company is legit, and if the article needs work to become legit in your eyes as an editor, I am willing to work it until it is accepted.

and thats just what i love to hear! :D JoeSmack ^Talk(p-review!) 06:21, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Information on companies and business

Since your interest seems to be in contributing information on companies, you might be interested in the WikiProject Business and Economics. For questions, you might consider posting on the project's talk page. — ERcheck (talk) 06:28, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You've added a lot of categories that do not exist. Suggested reading: Wikipedia:Categorization. — ERcheck (talk) 06:33, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Moraya Wireless

Since User:TruthbringerToronto constantly mistakes Wikipedia for a telephone directory, dropping his name is not only not an endorsement for me, it's pretty much the exact opposite. --Calton | Talk 07:57, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've re-added the {{db-spam}} tag -- WP has a three revert limit. Go past that, and you can be blocked from editing. --Calton | Talk 08:05, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Carlton, Stop adding the db-spam tag; this is NOT spam. This is an article on a company, just like the hundreds of articles on companies in Wikipedia. If you follow the talk here, you will see the issue.
