Your contributed article, 2002 Hershey Sale
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, 2002 Hershey Sale. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – The Hershey Company. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at The Hershey Company – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. DGG ( talk ) 23:19, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
Nomination of BabyNes for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article BabyNes is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/BabyNes until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. DGG ( talk ) 00:12, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
- perhaps I shouldn't have tagged this--as I said there I was getting impatient. If you'll commit to expanding it, especially with more recent material, I'll withdraw the AfD. DGG ( talk ) 00:47, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
Advice
I have also been making extensive edits on some of the other articles you have written or approved. Some of them need still further work, especially Princess Margaret Hospital (Funafuti) which needs further condensation, and Tonghua Dongbao Pharmaceuticals Ltd. which had extensive uncited sections. Perhaps you would care to do some of the work? I will sometimes accept an unsatisfactory AfC , but not unless I am prepared to fix it, and I usually do that immediately.
Youve done some very good work here--many of your Nestle articles are just the right amount of detail, and your automobile work is good also. I know we can't expect the new editors to do first-rate work from the start, but the point of AfC is to give them time to develop before their articles go into mainspace. In particular, for many of our editors, it is necessary to check for poor English and bad spelling -- if the article is too sloppy, it gives a bad impression. But even worse, is when they don't document things that need documentation--I find that often a custom message is needed pointing out to them just what it is that needs the documentation.
I know you've been receiving a good deal of criticism lately. I'd like to help you overcome the natural defensiveness this introduces. I'd really like to see your AfC work get more rigorous--we need good people there, and your own articles show you can do it. I know two tricks that work for me--I never try to fix more than 1 or 2 articles that need extensive fixing in a single day, and I try not to look at too many of the same problems in a row, for I get either over-critical or insufficiently watchful.

Please stop moving articles into mainspace
Today I have
- removed an article that you moved from userspace that was (a) unsourced, and (b) more importantly was deleted at AfD (and therefore should have been presented at WP:DRV for re-instatement, not simply moved back in the same state as it was deleted - see WP:CSD#G4)
- redirected a character article back to the main article, because the article neither showed, nor claimed, any independent notability for the character whatsoever
- deleted an article which you moved from AFC because it was a copyright violation of the organisation's website (90% was pretty much copied directly)
- noted that at least three other article you have moved into mainspace in the last week are currently slated for deletion at AFD
If you do not understand our guidelines and policies on whether articles are suitable for Wikipedia you should not be moving them into mainspace. Some of the articles are OK but your failure rate is too high, and you are creating unnecessary work for others. At the very least, please run them past an experienced aditor first; I will quite happily look at them, and I note that User:DGG above has given you similar advice. Thank you.

- I have no recollection of doing these acts, please pro de links or the names of said articles. Coolboygcp (talk) 03:58, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

My Article
Hello, thank you for accepting my article "Vizzini (The Princess Bride)" except for some reason, the link became a redirect to the novel The Princess Bride. Could you fix this or how could I fix it?
