User talk:Ignis~enwiki
A tag has been placed on Guilford Day School, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.
If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that your article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. PumeleonT 05:47, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
About your Guilford Day School article[edit]
First, after the AfD, move the article to "Guilford day school" as that is the in-house wikipedia style. That, however is highly minor and nitpickeresque. Yes, I made that word up. sue me :P. Anyway, jesting links aside, you should find newspaper articles or books/web pages that deal with the school in question and add them as sources, citing specific statements. If you need help, consult the manual of style, or ask me. I am here, after all, to help good articles prosper. If you cannot find sources, then unfortunately the article will probably be deleted. For factual, facility-based information, a pamphlet or sentence on a website would be sufficient. Good luck on this article, and keep it up! PumeleonT 07:27, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
The school is not a day school called Guilford; it is Guilford Day School. Wikipedia:Naming conventions Ignis 07:42, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
My mistake, I assumed incorrectly. PumeleonT 08:58, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
- Good, you've provided the neccesary information that you have said in the article. As it stands, that's fine for now. What you need to establish at this point is notability. Remember, notability is a guideline, and not a policy; therefore there are exceptions. However, this does not mean it is not required. You would have to make a case for notability in an AfD to keep it permanently, if it dosn't explicitly qualify under WP:SCHOOLS. PumeleonT 09:05, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
- Also, keep in mind that WP:SCHOOLS is not yet an official guideline, but will be the primary mode of establishing notability anyway. PumeleonT 09:07, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
Your account will be renamed[edit]
Hello,
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Ignis. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Ignis~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
