Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles, as you did to Startup Weekend.

Startup Weekend[edit]

{{helpme}} We created a post for Startup Weekend. Our intention was not promotional when creating the page, it was to describe to the community that this non-profit event happened and what we learned. For example, the Bolder Boulder has a page on Wikipedia and is a for profit event. Please let us know what you believe is promotional in our post for Startup Weekend and explain the difference between the Bolder Boulder page and ours.

It's a advertisment ad which doesn't have notability on the encyclopedia. For this, the article will be deleted. Please see the below message on how Wikipedia works. Thanks. Miranda 20:25, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
