Speedy deletion nomination of Malthouse Engineering[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 Malthouse Engineering requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. Feezo (Talk) 15:39, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning; the next time you create an inappropriate page, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 15:41, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Mark. Thanks for asking. Unfortunately, there are a couple of problems. First is the conflict of interest. Second is the copyright issue. It is possible to release the content to the site, but you'd have to do it in writing. That in turn releases your content to the public domain, voiding your original copyright. So...to wrtie about the company, you should start fresh with neutral, non-promotional content backed by third-party references like industry magazines, for instance. I hope this helps and please feel free to ask for help. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 15:53, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent questions. Please don't worry about being blocked for any edit done in good faith. The templates tend to be a bit harsh since we get a tremendous amount of real bad faith spamming. Since we have a dialogue, you have nothing to worry about. Yes, please do reference back to your own site and as many trade publications as you can. As far as creating an article beforehand, you can do that via a user subpage. Click on User:Markmh/Malthouse Engineering and you can work on new copy at your leisure without fear of deletion. Relax, have fun and welcome to the project. :) --PMDrive1061 (talk) 16:16, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File copyright problem with File: 6 Head Cutting.JPG

Thank you for uploading File:6 Head Cutting.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Eeekster (talk) 19:43, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome[edit]

Hello, Markmh, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been reverted for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of deletion, you might like to draft your article before submission, then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. To start creating a draft article, just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit that page as you would any other. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

The one firm rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. It is also worth noting that Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which specifically link them to one company or corporation. If your username does have such a name, it would be advisable for you to request a change of username.

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! You can also just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! VQuakr (talk) 18:12, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:6 Head Cutting.JPG[edit]

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:6 Head Cutting.JPG. 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 "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.
