Transwiki

Hi. :) Just wanted to drop you a line to let you know that when you encounter an aticle that seems to be a dictionary definition and a dictionary definition only, the first step (after checking wiktionary to verify that they don't already have it) is to tag it {{dict}}. That will mark it for transwiki. After it has been transwikied (which usually happens within a few hours), it can be tagged {{Db-transwiki}}. It's one of the more complex types of speedy deletions we're likely to encounter. :) I've tagged Football Supporter but wanted to let you know if you encountered such a situation again. Thanks for keeping an eye on article quality! --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 20:59, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

The Soundtrack to My Life (G.A.G.E. album)

I've removed your speedy tag from The Soundtrack to My Life (G.A.G.E. album). The criterion you used Wikipedia:CSD#A7 does not apply to albums: "A7 applies only to articles about web content or articles on people and organizations themselves, not articles on their books, albums, software and so on." You will need to PROD or AfD this article. - Mdsummermsw (talk) 16:57, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

I suspect sockpuppets are being used. I will report this. --NeilN ^{talk ♦ contribs} 15:42, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

I've tagged both accounts as being involved in sockpuppetry. Because of WP:3RR I won't revert the article again today but will do so tomorrow as there is consensus among other editors that the material is pushing POV. If the accounts revert again, I'll take further steps. --NeilN ^{talk ♦ contribs} 15:59, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Here: Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets. I haven't reported them yet (just tagged their talk pages). Hopefully the behaviour stops after tomorrow (or another editor reverts). --NeilN ^{talk ♦ contribs} 16:12, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Baltimore Page

I'm a little disappointed about you deleting my edit. I'm not a vandal. I suppose my contribution was arguably not "constructive," but it was cited and somewhat valid. The nickname I added is gaining popularity and not vulgar. This is my main dispute with wikipedia. In their search for neutrality, wikipedia's moderators have completely lost touch with objectivity. Not everyone has a great opinion of Baltimore, and the wikipedia article should reflect that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.191.68.3 (talk) 18:47, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

List of palestinians

I haven't vandalized the page, but the idiot that includes Jesus Christ in the list does vandalize. He is giving misinformation. I'm just correcting and substantiating the corrections. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.126.224.158 (talk) 17:34, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

List of palestinians (again)

I have used the discussion page first, yet the misinformed person seems not to read the discussions, and still insists in adding a JEWISH RABBI, which is out of any argument, to the list. Please read also about Samaritans. If you find in any history book, or in the Gospels, that they were called palestinians, please let me know. They are Hebrew people, not palestinians. Samaritans have TORAH as sacred Book, not koran or any other. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.126.224.158 (talk) 17:46, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: Vandalism of mail order bride

Tahnk you for reverting the vandalism that I put up on the mail-order bride page. I was merely trying to demonstrate a point to my friend, as I believe that any false information or vanadalism is always cleaned up within a few seconds. I had a bet going on with my friend that my vandalism would be cleared within a short time span. You have indeed helped me prove that Wikipedia can be used as a credible encyclopaedia. Thank you very much! Sorry about the vandalism though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.56.220.52 (talk) 16:46, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Reversion of Puntland

I saw it as vandalism and as a broad offshoot of WP:BLP. I feel that just because it's about a business does not mean they don't deserve the same consideration as real people. So, from my point I would have said, no you didn't break 3RR because you were fighting vandalism, but I can't say if others would have seen it the same way.

Thanks for your message. I would definably recommend you sign up for admin coaching - I had to wait months before my coach, KrakatoaKatie was able to assist me due to a huge backlog.

Clean up of Leonard Lesko

Hi. Sincere apologies if this is not the correct method of communication for this sort of thing, but I wonder why you removed from Prof. Lesko's page the "irrelevant comments about subject's favorite books" that I wrote. I was a student of Prof. Lesko's, and my comments had to do with his favorite Egyptian texts. I understand that you clean up things that do not fit, but I suspect that the texts that a senior Egyptologist considers to be most telling regarding Egyptian language and moral philosophy are probably more relevant than the bland exposition that comes off of the Brown Egyptology website (which my college roommate designed).

From Shwmtpf

Hi...sorry--don't really know how to send e-mail. But I do appreciate your writing me regarding the entry on Leonard Lesko; although I don't think I'll be a regular contributor to Wikipedia (I haven't even had time to clean up the EEG article that I mostly wrote), I would still like to learn a bit about how things work. That being said, I would appreciate your thoughts about Prof. Lesko's article. I see the info under discussion as being within the realm of his professional life, as it pertains to his professional opinions about Egyptological texts and he is, well, and Egyptologist. This is not his personal favorite books, but are instead the Egyptological texts he considers to be most relevant to the study of Egyptology. I guess I must be missing some point and would sincerely (and without irony) appreciate your guidance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shwmtpf (talk • contribs) 01:46, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Hattersley

Hi there. Thank you for contacting me. In terms of what is and what isn't accurate in the article, I would be very cautious to believe any of it, as the portion of the paragraph which the anonymous IP authored appears to be complete nonsense - and even if it wasn't, it seems to be his own personal opinion.

Tags

As long as the "hang on" tag gets left, then the speedy still appears on the Speedy Deletion list for action. So removing the tag itself doesn't really matter. But anyway, I usually find that it is not worth getting into a battle about these things of replacing the tags. Waiting an hour or two is often the best idea as it also gives people a chance to upgrade the article and show notability etc, which is very important. Another idea is to go the WP:PROD and WP:AFD route. --Slp1 (talk) 02:07, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Laura Shelton

Hi Tnxman307,

I've reverted your close of this AfD as there does not seem to be any consensus for a redirect. Please keep in mind that XfD closures need to be made based on the policy-based consensus presented in the discussions--while I understand that you were trying to strike a balance between the "merge" and "delete" comments, you must also consider that no one in the discussion had yet suggested this as a remedy. I've reopened and relisted the AfD, so please feel free to add your comments. Thanks! --jonny-mt 01:08, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

I understand what you're saying. I closed the debate as the discussion between RGTraynor and Utepsong seemed to agree on a redirect. It looked like a solid solution, so I was bold and made the edit. However, if more discussion is needed, that isn't a problem at all. TN‑X-Man 01:59, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

I get what you're saying, but you have to remember that User:Dhartung made a comment in support of outright deletion. Closing an AfD as a result of a gentlemen's agreement is the equivalent of withdrawing the nomination (with the implied or explicit consent of the nominator, of course), which can't be done once there are good-faith comments in favor of deletion--after all, doing so would amount to completely discounting any deletion opinions regardless of their merits. --jonny-mt 02:45, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

I understand and I'll be sure and note it going forward. A man's errors are his portals of discovery. - James Joyce TN‑X-Man 02:56, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

That's all I can ask for :) Good luck! --jonny-mt 04:14, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi Tnxman307,

I was trying to help set up a wikipedia page for I Love All Access, a company similar to any ticketing company except it caters to concertgoers who want a good seat and pre and after show party. We modeled the page after the ticketmaster page, yet it was deleted. Generally, will less information about the company make it less likely to be deleted (so it doesn't read like an ad)?

Morten Keiser-Nielsen

I note that you tagged Morten Keiser-Nielsen as CSD-G3 ("Pure vandalism"). I assume this was in error; while he may not meet WP:BIO, that's for AFD to decide - it certainly wasn't any kind of speedy candidate, let alone vandalism. While I can't read Danish, it's obvious from the context that he is some kind of tennis professional. – iridescent 02:16, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

I assure you, I was not trying to cause a disruption. I could not find any info on this person and assumed it was a pure hoax, speedy-able under G3 as blatant misinformation. TN‑X-Man 04:09, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Don't worry, wasn't accusing you of disruption. Remember that hoax isn't a speedy deletion criteria, though! (The "blatant misinformation" provision in CSD G3 is the "Eric is the king of Africa and was the first man on the moon" type of pages, not pages where there's any possibility of it being true - we have the prod/AFD processes to give people time to explain why it's not a hoax.) Hope that helps... – iridescent 13:04, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Proving notability for Kara no Shojo

Hi, I noticed that you have proposed Kara no Shojo for deletion. Your comments are fair and I see where you're coming from since I didn't really do a good job on its first cut. I have found some sales ranking charts that lists some of the company's previous games in Japan's national sales ranking charts. Since the maker has previous games that have been charted, I presume that makes the company itself notable, and subsequently its other games notable? However, I am unsure as to how to prove the notability of Kara no Shojo on the article itself since I'm pretty sure I shouldn't just be adding sales ranking information for other games since that is not within the scope of the Kara no Shojo article. Any ideas? Thanks. --Remy Suen (talk) 21:11, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

also as I recall one day after yeas of contemplation Albert Einstein made up a theory now accepted by nearly all the entire scientific community. Would you tell Einstein that his theory had no viable sources or would not even consider hearing it. The truth is he had no references our sources all his theories came from is head he was a theoretical physicist he sat around and thought all day about the mysteries of our universe, as we have. I struggle to understand why you try to cripple the creativity of up and comming scientists. We thought that wikipedia would be a good starting place becasue it is a free website just to get our theory out there becasue we cannot afford to publish our material. Who are you to say that our theory is not viable and if our theory is not viable then whats to stop you from deletig all the pages about theoretical physics. Are you a theoretical phyicist there is not techinical way to prove our theory therefore in short leave our page up. Roflcopter1000 (talk) 20:45, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Merge question

Hi, first, thank you for welcoming me on my talk page. :) Second; What do you think about this article, when there is this article. I think the first article should be merged to the second one, but don't know how to do that, or, even if it is okay for me to even try. Does it deserve to stand alone, or merged into one? TIA. --Catagraph (talk) 23:50, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Aashritha - Tagged for speedily deletion

Hi, while I was creating the article on Aashritha, I got a message on my page that the content has been tagged for speedily deletion. The reason stated was that this article is about a person and/or organization, who is doubted to be notable enough to be in wikipedia.

I have added the 'hangon' on my page. However I am not sure if it is at right place. Dear sir, I would like to say sometimg about Aashritha. This is a not-for-profit group formed by some friends and they all are working towards child education for poor and needy people in India. I have recently joined the cause and I thought that to create awareness and spread the good message about Aashritha, I should use the Wikipedia platform. I am not sure if Aashritha conforms the wiki standards of being notable or not. Please check the url http://sites.google.com/site/aashrithagroup/Aashritha for details on Aashritha. I reuqest you to allow the Aashritha page on wiki, and I also confirm that contents included are fully correct and I am not intending to promote the group or community via wikipedia. --Sandeep.jgupta (talk) 21:50, 27 June 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sandeep.jgupta (talk • contribs) 21:40, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

WP:HAU, Status, and you!

As you may know, the StatusBot responsible for maintaining the status of the Highly Active Users was taken offline. We now have a replacement in the Qui status system. This semi-automatic system will allow you to easily update your status page found at Special:Mypage/Status which the HAU page code is now designed to read from. If you are already using Qui (or a compatible system) - great! - no action is needed (other than remembering to update your status as necessary). If not, consider installing Qui. You can also manually update this status by changing the page text to online, offline, or busy. While it is not mandatory, the nature of HAU is that people are often seeking a quick answer from someone who is online and keeping our statuses up-to-date will assist with this. Note if you were previously using your /Status page as something other than a one-word status indicator, your HAU entry may have been set to "status=n" to correct display issues. Please clear this parameter if you change things to be "HAU compatible". Further questions can be raised at WT:HAU. This message was delivered by xenobot 23:00, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

How do you make a new proposal?

Your best bet is WP:Village pump (proposals). If you read/ skim through the page, you can see how proposals are made. Generally, someone suggests an idea and the community weighs in on it. It's a great way to gauge consensus and get an idea of how other people feel. If you do make a proposal, let me know and I'll throw in my $.02 as well. Cheers! TN‑X-Man 03:10, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

A propos The Mana World article deletion proposal

Not to be rude, but the article was created 10 minutes ago, and it can be seen in the edit history that I am currently working on it. Your rush into putting deletion template on this article and the reason of doing so only shows that you are not an RPG gamer, nor you are well informed about open source games development, otherwise you would underestand that the The Mana World project well established is a notable software, especially in games development for UNIX-like operating systems. We have quite alot of "wannabe" administrator on the Wikipedia, who drags many possible contributors away, therefore I would like to ask you to not be one of them.

And the nomination for an award of one of biggest open source development sites is not enought for you? As well as the fact this game is included in mainstream Linux distributions such as Fedora and Ubuntu and many fan pages over the Internet?

Passing comment

Please could you refrain from add SPA links to peoples comments, just because they have not edited any other articles since there account was created it, does not mean that the account was created for the sole purpose of making edit for a single purpose. It's quite insulting in fact, since I did create my account last year due to an completely unrelated event. It also could be seen as bias when people take into account other peoples views around wikipedia. Of course, yes people will create account for this sole purpose, probably for a pokemon article etc but you should use discretion in other cases. Do feel free to remove this comment without response though. Quiche on a leash (talk) 20:35, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Re:Mana World AfD

Generally, if something isn't speedy material (or something that's not yet should be prodded immediately), then let it sit for a few days and see whether it can be adequately expanded. Newer editors may treat an AfD on their newly created article as an insult, and thus filing an AfD quickly in this manner may be a bit bitey. That said, if you're pretty certain that the topic is non-notable, then keep track of it for a few days and then feel free to prod/AfD it after that. I know that patrolling new pages gives one the feeling that they have to get that article or it will slip through the cracks, but give it some time. Something I remember doing in these cases was to tag the article using WP:FRIENDLY and come back to it after a while. In any case, kudos for your mature and thoughtful response asking for clarification on my views in a case where I know others would have a much more negative response.

A few questions

Hi. A few things...

Twinkle works great! Thank you for recommending it to me. However, I do have one question about it. Whenever I perform an action or rollback with Twinkle, it stops before reloading the page. I always have to reload the page manually. Other than this, Twinkle works without any problem. Do you know how to fix this?

Second, where do you go to learn how to spruce up your user page with tables and a nice layout? The code looks a little complex.

Third, I'm a little confused about bots. Can any user have a bot that, for example, patrols for vandalism? What kinds of things can I make a bot to do? Is there a place where I can go to have one made for me?

Thanks for your help. SunDragon34 (talk) 22:28, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

I'm glad you're enjoying it! I can't claim to be any sort of expert about Twinkle, but there some things I've noticed. There are certain tags that will cause Twinkle to stop reloading the page. I've noticed it when I've added PROD tags and G8 (speedy deletion) tags. I'm not sure why it does that.

The tables and things on my user page have mainly been stolen from other people's user pages. If you copy and paste the relevant code section (for example, the welcome message at the top of this page) to your page and change my username to yours, it should work perfectly. My advice is to find someone's user page you admire and start there.

Finally, I really have no clue about how to design bots. I do some things about them: 1. They do require coding to create. I almost flunked computer science one, so that threw me off of bots right away. 2. Bots require approval before they go live. Basically, bots need to show that they're not going to cause chaos once they start up. Sort of like Skynet, but with less potential for explode-y stuff. 3. I know of certain users who have created bots (User:Soxred93, User:slakr) who may be willing to help you create a bot of your own. If you look at the user pages for the bots, you can usually find a way to message their creator.

I hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions. Cheers! TN‑X-Man 22:45, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Concerning your comment on The Mana World AFD

I don't think that you have a grudge against this project, I think you are (ab)using Wikipedia's procedures and rules for sole purpose of ego building. The manner you have established and then led the aforementioned AFD only shows it clearly. I think you should reconsider your attitude in this matter, since I do still think Wikipedia serves the purpose of information and knowledge not for social advancement of particular persons or their ego. "I hope we can work through this peacefully and best of luck." I think being WP:FRIENDLY doesn't mean to put a knife in one's back with a broad smile. Putting my work to AFD so quickly onkly has shown how much will you have to work with me "peacefully" and help me to improve my work. --Platyna (talk) 16:17, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry that you think that way. I contribute here not for my ego, but just for the satisfaction of helping the project. As for The Mana World's AfD, I have said several times that I would be willing to withdraw the nomination upon the addition of reliable sources. I was not able to find any on my own and I have invited you (as someone involved with that project with potentially more info) to add sources. I hope this helps you understand where I'm coming from. Thanks. TN‑X-Man 17:07, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Then withdraw it, since I provided enought of reliable sources of notability. Including recent one. And you were already explained by several persons, that you did wrong, so now finaly admit it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Platyna (talk • contribs) 17:16, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

I think this is where our basic disagreement exists. You have added several sources you believe are reliable. I believe they are not reliable. This is one of reasons I brought the article to AfD. I don't think that you and I would ever agree on whether your sources are enough to support the article, so it is up to the community consensus to decide. TN‑X-Man 17:21, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/themanaworld/ Where it reads:

"The game aims to be a unique place for people to interact not only by fighting each other but to play life, form a community within the community, or just simply chat. Although the game is never-ending and a linear story cannot be applied, it should have enough background to describe and predefine tribes, kingdoms, and the environment overall. Fullfilled quests should lead to certain events depending on them being solved. Quests should also encourage teamwork."

It is a review on popular site, made by objective and prominent person.

All your objectives were fulfilled and you will still not admit a mistake.

--Platyna (talk) 17:30, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

(outdent) I'll bring up the same point I brought up at the AfD. This paragraph seems to be copied and pasted from the official description of the game. It does not appear to be any sort of third party review. A copy/paste of the description is not a reliable source. TN‑X-Man 17:40, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Platyna, please always assume good faith (and always sign your posts on discussion pages with 4 tilde's (4 x ~). As I said on the AfD, it exists on hundreds of thousands of computers around the world, it's notable, and I would say that you don't even need an independant review based on that. However, the two links I provided above are 2 separate sites with at least some review. There should be no further discussion needed about notability or referencability. BMW(drive) 18:42, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

I am sorry, I do usualy not get involved in stupid edit wars, however as I stated on AfD I feel that I have more than one game article to defend here. And it is hard to assume good faith after such a speedy AfD and TN-X-Man's attempts to degrade almost everyone who were voting on behalf of article, as well as clearly suggesting I am making SPA's, and posting edit counters that are completly unrelated to the discussion. I find it low and I am therefore unable to assume good faith of person doing such things.Platyna (talk) 18:53, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Shhh...trashing a user on their own talk page doesn't make you any friends. TN-X has done both the PROD and AfD for that article, and he will hear about that no-no somewhere else. Karma works wonders, and thanks for continuing to edit Wikipedia .. BOTH OF YOU! BMW(drive) 19:02, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

(outdent)I am currently looking at the two links you provided. The first link (StrategyInformer) does not contain anything beyond the same paragraph referred to earlier in this conversation, that is, the official description of the game. The second link contains the same paragraph and two paragraphs by a forum poster. I still think these are not reliable sources. Are there any sources that do not contain the official description paragraph? Please let me know, as I was unable to find any. Thanks. TN‑X-Man 19:29, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

There is no rule that says someone cannot nominate the same article for PROD and AFD. I have done that many, many times and I have seen many AFD noms begin with "contested prod". If there was a rule like that, someone would certainly have said something. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 19:35, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

I hadn't actually looked at the AFD, I just saw this conversation and decided to add my 2 cents. I'll take a look at the AFD and see what I think. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 19:55, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Holy schmoley, that is a mess. Wow. I'm doing some research for myself now, before I form an opinion. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 20:02, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

• There's no "rule" about being PROD and AfD ... it's called "common sense". It gives someone the impression that you really do have a hate on for either the article itself or the author. You always let someone else do the AfD because it's like the Canadian Senate as opposed to the House of Commons .. it's the "house of sober second thought". It's highly possible that you were in too much of a hurry when you did the PROD and weren't objective (as is obvious in this case). If you then turn around and do the AfD when the PROD fails, it makes you, the editor look like a vindictive knob ... you didn't get what you want, so you're going a new direction. Think from the POV of the original editor in this case. Plus, remember one key rule of Wikipedia: if necessary break the rules. If you're a Microsoft weenie, you have no clue about Linux, OSS, or anything. In that case, you really need to stay away from topics you can never understand. Like I said earlier ... this GAME is on hundreds of thousands of computers across the world - it's therefore notable whether you can find a flipping article or not...the fact that the original text appears on so many sites is more than enough proof. Name for me all of the Microsoft games currently installed with Microsoft Vista Home Premium .. quick, don't look ... just tell me!! Being an editor on Wikipedia isn't rocket science folks.

Your recent speedy tag on Category:Images of Alvin and the Chipmunks

I'm at a loss to figuring out how you assumed my category was a test. To not only write it off as a test only a few seconds after creation, but to also post a simple boilerplate treating me like a newbie is a little condescending. I think you may need more practice with automated tools, I know i make mistakes every now and then with AWB, but look more closely at what's going on before you add speedy tags to things. I fully intend to populate the category, and am only taking longer b/c i have to deal with this. -ΖαππερΝαππερ ^Babel_Alexandria 19:13, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

well i figured out that it was a typo, putting the page in the main space. but if that's all it was, it would have been nicer to let me know, rather than just speedy tagging it as a test. -ΖαππερΝαππερ ^Babel_Alexandria 19:25, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

That is why I tagged the article. It appeared that you were attempting to create a category, not an article. No offense was meant, I was trying to help with the clean up. TN‑X-Man 19:30, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

I appreciate your intention to draw my attention to an error. in the future, labelling something someone is doing as a test can be seen as potentially incindiery if it was not in fact a test. it's also generally better to not leave boilerplate messages on established editor's talkpages. Next time you catch an error it might be more helpful to tell the user what they actually did - it took me a couple minutes to figure out what was actually going on. -ΖαππερΝαππερ ^Babel_Alexandria 19:57, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

I've found that most people will drop me a line here or on the article's talk page if they have questions about an article I've tagged. As for the boilerplate stuff, that's Twinkle's contribution, not mine. Anyway, it appears things are resolved, as the article has been deleted and the category created. Can we let bygones be bygones? TN‑X-Man 20:03, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

of course! i was just trying to help you with future taggings :) don't you agree it would be more helpful to tell other editors specifically what was wrong with their edits? as opposed to merely labelling it a test and leaving them a boilerplate message? while i appreciate editors like you, who respond to the thousands of unconstructive edits on a daily basis, because twinkle works in this way, it might be better to not use an automated tool for certain kinds of edits. -ΖαππερΝαππερ ^Babel_Alexandria 20:27, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

It is not necessary to delete the page of a prominent academic copied from his home page, because I am prepared to rewrite every one of them if necessary. I just dealt with Steve Brooks (Statistician). I try to catch them at CSD, as I did here, but I miss some. If instead you were to blank the page and put on a copypaste tag and notify me, I'll get to them within a day or so. It is very important, of course, that you continue catching them, for it is absolutely necessary that they be either deleted or fixed--no question at all about that.

Speedy deletion of Susan Baldwin

A tag has been placed on Susan Baldwin 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, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, 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 {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. triwbe (talk) 16:03, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Paymo Time Tracker

Dear Tnxman, i see you've proposed to delete my article yet again without a valid reason. Please explain to me why we can't have a page that has a short description of our product on wikipedia while other competing products have them! I agree that this is not encyclopedia content, however if the rules were so strict all these other pages should have been deleted a long long time ago. I belive what you're doing is not fair. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ldimlight (talk • contribs) 14:38, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

There are two policies that apply to your article. First of all, Wikipedia is not a place for advertising. Secondly, the article needs in-depth coverage in reliable sources. Please note that this does not include press releases or self-published material. I hope this helps. TN‑X-Man 14:59, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm still not satisfied with your answer. I totally agree that Wikipedia is not for advertising. However Wikipedia is a place that helps people make decisions on what kind of software they use, thus pages like the time tracking comparison exist.

Why is this product http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teamwork_(software) allowed on Wikipedia?

What about this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24SevenOffice ?. Does this count as advertising, or it's important to know "the right people" on wikipedia for an article like this to survive? I just checked Delicious to see how many bookmarks these services have... either nothing or less than Paymo has. (these are real people who find the service worthwhile bookmarking.)

If you'll notice, both of those products have won awards, which confers implies significant coverage in reliable sources. Also, be aware that other stuff exists. An article is judged on its own merits, not on what other articles may or may not be listed on Wikipedia. If other articles don't meet notability standards, that can be addressed. Your best bet is to review WP:Notability (software). Cheers! TN‑X-Man 15:27, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
