Welcome to Wikipedia, TorpTech! Thank you for your contributions. I have been editing Wikipedia for some time, so if you have any questions feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. You can also check out Wikipedia:Questions or type {{helpme}}
at the bottom of this page. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- Introduction
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- How to write a great article
Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that will automatically produce your username and the date. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!
Potential username issue
[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username (TorpTech) may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it is a potentially promotional username. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you.
- "TorpTech" is short for Torpedotechnician, and I can't think of any reason ahy this should be a problem!!
- Thanks for clarifying. If that's the case, you should be okay. Happy editing. NTox · talk 19:27, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
Thanks!
[edit]For adding that great technical info. I am in hog heaven! Jim1138 (talk) 09:54, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of User:TorpTech
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
A tag has been placed on your user page, User:TorpTech, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be blatant advertising which only promotes or publicises a company, product, group or service. This is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages — user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources or advertising space. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.
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. Kostas20142 (talk) 11:16, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
User Page restored
[edit]Hi,
Following a request, I have reviewed your deleted user page and have restored it. My apologies for being rather hasty in deleting it. However, might I suggest that you do remove your email address from the user page? The problem is that your user name (which looks at first glance like a company) coupled with the inclusion of contact details (which company spam accounts often look like) give the impression that the page might be a spam account. It caught me out, that's for certain. If you have Wikipedia email set up, you don't need to show your address, plus it adds a level of privacy too.
Ultimately, it is up to you what you do. However, to avoid the future inconvenience of the occasional over-zealous admin deleting your user page or blocking you unfairly, you may wish to consider making the change. Stephen! Coming... 15:59, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
