Counter Strike Manager

Counter-Strike Manager has been speedy deleted as recreation of material that was previously deleted. It was deleted after the following discussions:

If you think there are enough reliable sources to merit its recreation, you should head over to deletion review and start a discussion there.-Wafulz 17:17, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article has been discussed several times already, including the two formal discussions above. There are still no reliable sources, and the recreations have not been dramatically different.-Wafulz 17:27, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reliable sources are defined at Wikipedia:Reliable sources and Wikipedia:Verifiability.-Wafulz 17:32, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You yourself are not a reliable source- using yourself as a source would be original research. The problem here lies in the fact that if you said something, I could immediately rebuke it and claim to be a source as well. Also, if there are no published sources, everything is inherently non-neutral, and the subject does not meet web content notability guidelines.-Wafulz 18:08, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Counter-Strike Manager

{{helpme}} Can someone please tell me why this article, that I've used some time on, was deleted? Am I not a reliable source or what? TobiasK 17:48, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The person who deleted it, isn't helpful.

Article in question: Counter-Strike Manager

I'm administrator on the site, and have played it for well over four years. I've been administrator for +two years.

You need to look at the deletion log. The article was deleted in 2006 at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. It was recreated and deleted again in January 2007 at a second AFD discussion. It has been deleted three or four more times as a repost of deleted content or as CSD A7, no assertion of notability. You face a uphill battle if you wish to cite reliable sources to demonstrate that the game is notable. Your next step, if you wish to contest the deletion, is to request a deletion review.

Just a quick pointer on Wikipedia rules:No, you yourself CANNOT use yourself as a source. Neither can anybody esle use you as a source UNLESS you at some stage produced references which would be considered acceptable (lets say you wrote an article that got accepted for publication in a gaming magazine, or on a reputable website (i.e. one where not simply anyone can post)). Where you CAN use your personal knowledge is in knowing WHERE to look for such references. If you have worked on the issue (program/website) for years, you may be well-placed to know who wrote something about it (and when) in a publication that could be considered such a reputable reference. But as noted, an article that has been deleted twice will face close scrutiny when it is again recreated, so your sources should be good before you go at it again.

Infobox

{{helpme}} Can someone tell me how to place this infobox under the infobox_island in this article: Nacula

{{Yasawa}}

I hope it´s ok this way. You can´t get it nearer to the other infobox, because the gallery is in the way. You could add more text on top of the gallery and place the template within this text. Another solution would be to change the template. Then instead of vertical direction, the text is arranged in horizontal direction. This could be added to the bottom. I hope I could help you.--Thw1309 21:24, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Cs-manager-logo.PNG)

Thanks for uploading Image:Cs-manager-logo.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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 01:04, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies. The delete was unintentional, I didn't even realize I had done it. Re-placed now. Cheers. Ingolfson 10:42, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

PS - seeing that you take photos for Wikipedia, why not upload them to Commons instead? Works pretty much just like on Wikipedia, but they get sorted a lot better, and are of use to everyone, not just one of the Wikimedia projects. Only downside of Commons is that it can become as addictive as Wikipedia ;-) Ingolfson 01:30, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Ole Henriksen

I have nominated Ole Henriksen, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ole Henriksen. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 18:42, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button 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 useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 18:54, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Did you forget to add a license tag for this image when uploading.?

Wikipedia takes copyrights seriously, so images need to have an appropriate license tag

You may wish to read Wikipedia:Image_copyright_tags#For_image_creators which will assist you :) Sfan00 IMG (talk) 11:05, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

October 2010

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. [1] MrOllie (talk) 20:23, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, instead of writing it yourself. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Canon EOS 550D, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should 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;
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

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

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 23:26, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Then let me refer to our frequently asked questions for organizations
However, you should avoid adding other External links to your or your organization's website. If the link is relevant, helpful and informative and should otherwise be included, please consider mentioning it on the talk page and let neutral and independent Wikipedia editors decide whether to add it.

The link is first and foremost relevant, helpful and informative.

And you brought it up on a few talkpages and each time, it was turned down as spamming and not helpful to the page. --Terrillja _talk 20:19, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
