[edit]Hi, many thanks for twice reverting an IP's vandalism on Camouflage. I've slapped a warning on him, but ideally this is done at the first opportunity (at least a sandbox message) to give wavering vandals a chance to change their ways before things get serious.

- You stated that you will be "careful about your terms and conditions". Explain in your own words, what exactly are the relevant policies for this situation how you will abide by it in the future. (Hint: read WP:NOTPROMO, WP:REFSPAM). -SFK2 (talk) 06:48, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

COI
[edit]I disagree with your evaluation of my contribution to the page Shanghai Free Trade Zone as a conflict of interest, as all the information provided is factual. While indeed a majority of it is drawn from a source I am close to, China-Briefing.com, this does not mean it is primarily promoting any sort of commercial interest. Moreover, the information you have left on the page comes from the same source, thus it is arbitrary for you to have removed only my most recent edits, which greatly expanded the available information and reorganized it for greater coherence. Either it's all a COI or none of it is. Matthew Zito (talk) 05:39, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
- It's all COI. Also, repeatedly adding the same link to multiple articles (including product pages) is considered a form of spamming.-SFK2 (talk) 11:12, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
I'd ask that you take a closer look at the most recent edits I have made. I have removed all AsiaBriefing commercial links, and left in links related to the site's news service only. If you believe that these cannot constitute a valid source of information (to which I disagree), then the sections "Incorporation" and "Specific Industries" should rightfully be removed from the article, as at present they are entirely unreferenced.

Advice
[edit]Hi SFK2 I wonder if you can help. I'd like to get a short wikipedia page up about myself - which I know is strongly advised against etc. I regularly appear on a show on BBC1 called Rip-off Britain, and I write blogs for the Telegraph website - and I'm regularly quoted in the UK Press. I'm often simply referred to as a "personal finance expert" - so I want people to be able to find out something about me when they Google me after seeing me on TV.
Can I write a short page with references, and get someone else to approve it or edit it?
Thanks for your help James — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fairerjames (talk • contribs) 10:09, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
- First things first, do you understand why this is strongly advised against? -SFK2 (talk) 11:09, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
Contested deletion of HOST1FREE
[edit]hi SFK2, l noticed that you placed the deletion tag on the article that l recently posted. i would like to ask, what exactly is ambiguous and advertising about it, because l posted it to help users were now depending on it (esp since its one of the free hosts that covers Africa) that the page is'nt closing but actually relocating. Regards --Ladiepre (talk) 01:03, 29 June 2014 (UTC)ladiepre
Please Respond Hi SFK2, it has been 3 days since you flagged my page HOST1FREE with a speedy deletion tag and l am still appealing to you to let me know what exactly came across as advertising in my article. thank you. Ladiepre (talk) 11:37, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
- What came across as advertising? The entire article. That's basically what it means by unambiguous advertising. -SFK2 (talk) 12:53, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

[edit]Thanks for the heads-up.
I have noticed that some changes have been made which remove some of the prose you have referred to.
Will bear the advice in mind for future.

Speedy deletion nomination of Cloudware
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/cf/Copyright-problem.svg/48px-Copyright-problem.svg.png)
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 Cloudware, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
- It 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 encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
- It appears to be a clear copyright infringement of http://www.cloudware.bg/en/about. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
