Information icon Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Wikipedia:Teahouse, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( in the enhanced toolbar, or if you use the old "classic" toolbar) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Speedy deletion nomination of UCHealth

[edit]

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, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on UCHealth 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, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, 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.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "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 deleted 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, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. ___CAPTAIN MEDUSAtalk 19:59, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Information icon Hello, I'm Serial Number 54129. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to UCHealth seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. ——SerialNumber54129 15:57, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Serial Number 54129 - I left a message on your talk page but it seems to have been archived without response. Where should I post my questions?D'Nezzy Smith (talk) 18:40, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yo @D'Nezzy Smith:, apologies, I thought I'd answered you  :) I see not, though. I think DGG is your go-to guy on this one; he's certainly mine. Best of luck with the article, and, btw, cool user name  :) ——SerialNumber54129 19:08, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Logo of University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 03:33, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: DSV Limiting Factor (April 24)

[edit]
Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted because it included copyrighted content, which is not permitted on Wikipedia.
Wikipedia cannot accept material copied from elsewhere, unless it explicitly and verifiably has been released to the world under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license or into the public domain and is written in an acceptable tone—this includes material that you own the copyright to. You should attribute the content of a draft to outside sources, using citations, but copying and pasting or closely paraphrasing sources is not acceptable. The entire draft should be written using your own words and structure. Note to reviewers: do not leave copyright violations sitting in the page history. Please follow the instructions here.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:United Allergy Services

[edit]

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.

A tag has been placed on Draft:United Allergy Services, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "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 deleted 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, then please contact the deleting administrator.

[edit]

Thank you for declaring your conflict of interest. That doesn't mean you can write what you like, you must follow the guidance below.

  • you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the organisation claims or interviewing its management. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls
  • The notability guidelines for organisations and companies have been updated. The primary criteria has five components that must be evaluated separately and independently to determine if it is met:
  1. significant coverage in
  2. independent,
  3. multiple,
  4. reliable,
  5. secondary sources.
Note that an individual source must meet all four criteria to be counted towards notability.
  • you must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic.
  • there shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
  • you must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 05:56, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Jimfbleak: Thank you so much for this feedback. It's super-helpful and great reference for others who I may work with. I sincerely don't want to be one of those guys who don't understand that Wikipedia is not a brand's forum or a place for "messaging". I will see if I can find more references to determine notability and make another attempt - applying the right encyclopedic tone - if appropriate. In the meantime, I am working on another article that I'd love your feedback on, if you are willing. What's the best way to do that?D'Nezzy Smith (talk) 16:13, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Do you mean University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center? Jimfbleak - talk to me? 18:09, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Jimfbleak: Actually I was talking about a company that sells Australian Biltong in the United States. The company (Stryve Biltong) has been covered more extensively than United Allergy Services and I've made sure it doesn't include anything that is remotely promotional.
Regarding MD Anderson, they did recently move a facility so I want to make that edit on their article, as well as add more context (specialties, etc.) for each location. Would really appreciate your thoughts/counsel on that as well. This is all such a big help and I want to do everything the right way.D'Nezzy Smith (talk) 13:48, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by AngusWOOF were:
This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.
This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
 The comment the reviewer left was:
Need more external sources to show notability for the company and product. The infobox is excessive and should not list every individual product from the company.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

Promotion and paid editing

[edit]

I see you've disclosed appropriately, so thank you for that but please stop editing content which you are paid for directly. Your edits are very promotional and you are turning articles into what are essentially directory entries. Please refrain from also moving content into mainspace yourself and instead allow for a reviewer to look at it first. Praxidicae (talk) 21:00, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Praxidicae thank you for the feedback. The intent is not to be promotional. I guess I had a different definition of what is general, straightforward information and what is promotional. I'm still trying to learn and definitely want to do everything correctly. I've removed the listing of clinics and services that the hospital provides and I will allow reviewers to look at content first moving forward. Again, I appreciate your feedback and welcome any additional comments or instruction D'Nezzy Smith (talk)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Sub-Zero Group, Inc. (October 8)

[edit]
Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by DGG was:
You need to show notability distinct from the brands. Too much ofthis duplicates. You can either merge the information from the brands iunto here, or else keep here only the information about the overall company. Please remove all adjectives like "innovative" and anything else suggesting quality or judgment.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Sub-Zero Group (March 30)

[edit]
Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Robert McClenon were:
Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at Sub-Zero (brand) instead.
See the previous comment by User:DGG. The most plausible result is probably to accept this draft but to merge Sub-Zero (brand) into Sub-Zero. However, this should be discussed at Talk:Sub-Zero (brand) or Draft talk:Sub-Zero Group first. Declining for now in order to start discussion.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.
