Welcome

[edit]

Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! tedder (talk) 06:09, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

other accounts?

[edit]

Are you a new user? Your first action was to create a fairly in-depth article indicating previous knowledge of Wikipedia policies. It looks remarkably like the edits of User:Meathead200. If that was yours and you've retired that account, that's fine- but it would be appropriate to indicate that here.

If there is no connection, my apologies. tedder (talk) 06:12, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am not Meathead200 nor am I related to the user. I appreciate the concern, but I mostly use MediaWiki on a company intranet, hence the intense training I received on wiki code. But, thanks for the note about signing, I have corrected a few posts where I forgot to sign. Toycars (talk) 06:18, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. And no worries about not signing- it'll come as second-nature pretty soon. tedder (talk) 06:22, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

PhoneNews article in your userspace

[edit]

I'm continuing the discussion about PhoneNews.com here instead of at WP:RFPP. Please read WP:YFA to understand the requirements for a new article. My initial concern is that it doesn't meet the notability guidelines for websites. The sources are either phonenews.com, feedraider.com (simply a search/aggregation of phonenews.com), a Fox News article that doesn't appear to even mention PhoneNews, and a search of latimes articles about cell phones that doesn't even appear to mention PhoneNews.

I won't be able to keep giving feedback- your best bet is to follow the instructions at Wikipedia:So you made a userspace draft. tedder (talk) 07:39, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As noted in the article, the site was previously known as PCS Intel. You should see the references there, and this was noted in the history sub-section of the article. Since you may not read this, I will review and resubmit for unprotect tomorrow after a good faith review of WP:YFA. Thanks for your feedback. Toycars (talk) 08:29, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]


You dont need to go through WP:YFA I'm happy to work with you in addressing the concerns with the article, I took the liberty of moving the artcle off your userpage into userspace at User:Toycars/PhoneNews.com which is a better place to work on the article. The talk page there can then be used solely for discussion about the article. Gnangarra 09:34, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
