Hello, Personalnylagirl. You have new messages at "Personalnylagirl"'s talk page.

Welcome[edit]

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

I notice that one of the first articles you created appears to be an article about yourself. This is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. Your user page, however, is a great place to write about yourself, making sure to stay within user page guidelines. Just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit it normally.

The page you created about yourself has been or will shortly be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, but if you want to use the content from it, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

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! Or, you can 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! Empty Buffer (talk) 18:59, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

June 2010[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Samantha Daniels. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Samantha Daniels, 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 as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Do you have a question? GiftigerWunsch [TALK] 22:38, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I need some help- I was trying to get a new job with an employer (Samantha Daniels) who is a notable person but who did not have a Wikipedia page. I thought I could impress her by creating a Wikipedia page for her and I never meant to release it, just to create it but I did something wrong and it was released and flagged and now deleted. I need to fix it and put it in the proper format. Can you please explain to me what I put in the article that seems like too much of an advertisement? Everything I wrote about Samantha Daniels is true and factual and backed up with reference points. Please advise, Allison Klein

Your best bet is to read WP:Your first article. It is important that you understand that since you have a conflict of interest (COI), it is best if you don't create or edit this article, but you are not forbidden from doing so; see WP:COI and WP:Neutrality. You need to make sure the article gives encyclopaedic coverage rather than being biased for or against the subject, which is why users with a COI are advised against editing such articles. If you need any more help, reply below here, I will be watching your talk page. GiftigerWunsch [TALK] 22:47, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for replying. I thought that I was providing encyclopaedic coverage of this person; I am not biased for or against her. I don't know her personally; the information I put into her Wikipedia page was compiled by doing research on the Internet and finding reference points that backed up everything I wrote. Can you please point me specifically to what items in my article that make the article look like an advertisement. I have no problem fixing this immediately. Personalnylagirl (talk) 22:57, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Since I haven't seen the article, and it's now been deleted, I don't know what the content was. You might like to try asking the deleting admin to userfy it for you, which means restoring it to be moved into your userspace, where you can work on a draft copy without risk of it being speedily deleted before it is ready to enter mainspace. GiftigerWunsch [TALK] 23:02, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your suggestion. Can you please explain to me how to ask the deleting admin, HJ Mitchell, to userfly my deleted article into my userspace so that I can work on a draft? Thank you for your help. Personalnylagirl (talk) 23:06, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You can leave a message on HJ Mitchell's talk page asking him. GiftigerWunsch [TALK] 23:08, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again. One more question. Is it possible for me to send you directly the deleted page so that you can help me edit it and resubmit in my userspace? I only ask this because you and I are directly communicating right now. If this is possible, please advise on how I can do this. Personalnylagirl (talk) 23:15, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hold on a few mins; I'll ask someone to look at it, see if it can be restored or something.
If you want, you can also talk to helpers live.  Chzz  ►  23:32, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Doing...

OK, it has been restored, into User:Personalnylagirl/Samantha_Daniels. You can edit that, and work on it. Please, do not make it live again without asking someone to check it.
You probably have a conflict of interest - if the article is about you, please read WP:AUTO. If you are connected to the subject, please read the business FAQ.
I suggest you try editing some other articles for a while, to get used to Wikipedia, before dealing with the difficult area of biographies.
For more help, you can either;
  • Leave a message on my own talk page; OR
  • Use a {{helpme}} - please create a new section at the end of your own talk page, put {{helpme}}, and ask your question - remember to 'sign' your name by putting ~~~~ at the end; OR
  • Talk to us live, with this or this.
The last of those is particularly useful - please try it; pop in now and say hello. Chzz  ►  23:37, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]


I have been on the live chat and spoken with admins who have advised me on my formatting and editing, and I need help knowing whether or not my page is ready to be moved into the main space. If you can look over my page and advise me on where I need to go from here, it would be much appreciated. Thank you.Personalnylagirl (talk) 15:34, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'll take a look now, but I'd recommend you submit this request for feedback at WP:FEED. GiftigerWunsch [TALK] 15:36, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
