User talk:Schabas

Welcome!

Hello, Schabas, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Eko Rail, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Speedy deletion nomination of Eko Rail

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 Eko Rail requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to 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 tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance 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. O'saríus Talk 17:04, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

January 2012

Please do not write an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you. andy4789 ★ · (talk? contribs?) 18:05, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest

Re this edit http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Crossrail&curid=241693&diff=492790031&oldid=492754087 I also take this opportunity to note that this is not really a controversy, though it may have been relavent to the history section - it is normal to supply verifying links.

Please read WP:COI (conflicts of interest)

According to http://www.grandavenue.plus.com/Superlink/Home_files/Press%20Release-%20How%20to%20make%20Crossrail%20really%20work%2015%20October%202007.doc a person called Michael Schabas has a clear relationship to the organisation known as "SuperLink" as he is given as a contact in a press release from "SuperLink".

Your username suggests some association to persons called Schabas, and there have been previous issues relating to an autobiographic article about "Michael Schabas".

It is not clear if there is an association, but it would be helpful if you could clarify this.

As your edits could be construed as some form of promotion, I have contacted an administrator to look at this.Oranjblud (talk) 01:01, 16 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

HKX

Hello, Strictly speaking, under Wikipedia guidelines you should not be editing the HKX article as you have a conflict of interest and it looks too much like advertising. I have replaced your edit with one that cites a reliable source. -- Alarics (talk) 08:13, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
