User talk:Mghurston

Welcome!

Hello, Mghurston, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like Team san jose, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

September 2011[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Morbidgames has been reverted.
Your edit here to Morbidgames was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://gloriaweber.wordpress.com) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 00:43, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

October 2011[edit]

Hello Mghurston. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Miradry, 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 you, 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. Beloved Freak 20:15, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Miradry[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 Miradry, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. Mr. Vernon (talk) 05:43, 6 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your conflict of interest[edit]

In response to your message, the problem is that your contributions so far give the impression that you are trying to promote things that you are involved with in real life like your product (Miradry) or organizations you are involved with (like Team San Jose). Even a seemingly-innocuous edit to the article about your company (Morbidgames; and I'm assuming you are not the same person as User:Disinterestedguy), raises flags. It's really best that you don't edit articles about topics that you have a personal connection to and, let's face it, have good financial or professional reason to have a positive article about. If these topics are notable, let other, uninvolved editors write about them. Wikipedia is not a platform for getting your brands out there. Sorry to sound so harsh, but it's virtually impossible to write about things that you have a professional connection to, and still abide by our policies and guidelines. --Beloved Freak 20:44, 6 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits[edit]

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 could also click on the signature button or 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) 21:18, 6 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, after your last message I went to the live chat page and made a number of changes to the page based on the feedback I received, but now I see that I must have included some language that reads like an advertisement and I'm unclear as to which part of the article I need to make the change too Mghurston (talk) 19:44, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The entire "procedure" section should be removed as well as the bulleted points above. The "how it compares" should be rewritten to be more neutral or removed entirely. That section, as well as the article, should be sourced to third-party sources. Most of your sources are trivial (they barely mention the subject or just have minor mentions of facts), are directly from the company, or are from press releases that third parties have published. You need completely independent sources for the article.--v/r - T P 20:03, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

{{helpme}} Thanks, it was actually suggested on the live chat that I add in how the treatment is significant which is why I added that in, if someone could help me rewrite that it'd be greatly appreciated. I thought it would be good to include information on how the procedure was actually done, but I've gone ahead and removed that now. As far as additional references, I included everything I know, but I'd appreciate any help in expanding on those. Mghurston (talk) 21:33, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Articles needs 'significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent - ***PLEASE*** read this link: WP:VRS
For perspective, microwaves lie between radio frequency and lasers on the electromagnetic spectrum is original research (see that link)
This happens independent of skin thickness. ^{[according to whom?]}
The result is controlled delivery of electromagnetic energy ^{[according to whom?]}
Sweat glands do not regenerate, so once destroyed, the excess sweat glands are permanently disabled - according to whom?

Please read WP:BFAQ. Best, Chzz ► 02:31, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

Thanks, I appreciate you taking the time to list these as I would have never guessed these lines were the ones causing an issue. The terms in above all link to other wikipedia pages on the subjects, such as microwaves being between radio frequency and lasers. Since the wiki page on microwave transmissions doesn't include references to the frequency being between 1ghz and 30ghz and the wavelengths, same with sweat glands not regenerating, I'll go ahead and try to find some external references for these pages as well. I still would like to see if anyone out there could help me expand this subject.

Hey there! No need to replace the "help me" template when you're having a conversation with another editor. Generally, they are watching your page. If they don't respond, just contact them on their talk page. If you are looking for additional feedback or assistance, you may also consider contacting the applicable WikiProject that corresponds to your article.
