Speedy deletion nomination of Cdist[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 Cdist, 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, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. ukexpat (talk) 19:31, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

June 2012[edit]

Hello, NicoSchottelius. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Cdist, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing.

Could you please try and read the guidelines, and not revert tagging or removals of sites you are clearly affiliated with (see here for example). Wikipedia is NOT a vehicle for advertising or soapboxing. Please consider your edits. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 14:26, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Dirk,

I'm sorry if I did something wrong, that's why I asked in the edit message if that's the correct way. I've read many of the guides you are pointing to, not sure which you are referring to directly.

I am aware that there is an affilation of the software towards me, but I've had the article proofread by people in #wikipedia and I believe the consensus was that it became pretty neutral.

Again, let me know if I am doing something wrong - I've removed the citations tag, because I've added yet-another source, which makes the article look better than most of the other CM tools, to which I am orientating myself while editing.

Cheers,

I am asking you to be careful. And I don't understand where you are unsure what I am referring to directly ..:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Those two, at the least, are things you constantly do ... I think that that is pretty clear.

You'll need consensus here on Wikipedia (#Wikipedia does not necessarily mean everything). Using other pages as comparison is also not good guidance (cf. WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS), the article itself should be good enough (that it is better than others can still mean that the others are way not up to our standards). Please leave de-tagging of any form to others, uninvolved editors, and make sure that your sourcing is really up to standards (google groups, your own website, or other primary-source-type-references are certainly not the best of references, you really need a significant amount of independent, proper sources - things beyond mentions on other websites, proper reviews by significant journals would help). Having the tags there will attract independent editors, and they will then consider whether the tags can go. And please, be generally careful - you probably have the best intentions, but it very much looks like that you are trying to advertise/SEO your site, and that is not an impression you want to leave behind - don't revert others because you think it is fine - only revert when you are sure it is fine (and that is achieved through talk page discussion). Happy editing. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 15:18, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
