Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the external links you added to the page PostItEasy.com do not comply with our guidelines for external links. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Kim Dent-Brown ^{(Talk to me)} 11:39, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Please stop removing speedy deletion notices from articles that you have created yourself, as you did with PostItEasy.com. If you continue, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Kim Dent-Brown ^{(Talk to me)} 11:39, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] PostItEasy.com

What are you doing with this page? I don't understand the point of making a redirect to a non-existent page. Are you trying to do something I could help with? Kim Dent-Brown ^{(Talk to me)} 13:05, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] PostItEasy.com

Hello there, the reason for the 'speedy' tag is because it looks and sounds like an advertisement, not an encyclopaedia article. An earlier version said:

Why pay an unreasonable price for an advertisement only to be published, not knowing whether any advantages will be made of it? Why bother oneself with a complicated registration procedure and wait until confirmation is finally done? Why, do you think only the air is free of charge? Why don't you take advantage of the opportunities we offer you to make your dreams come true? Why is information so expensive nowadays? Why is it so that information cannot be found only in one place? Why do IT solutions become even more complex? How come you don't want a challenging job with unlimited career opportunities? Why are there so many whys? Now it is even easier then before! Just Post It Easy your wishes!

Which simply reads like advertising copy. If you look at the articles on Yahoo!, Google etc you'll see that they are written from an objective viewpoint, pointing out the good points and the criticisms of the sites and (very importantly) citing references to prove that these views of the site are held widely. You might be better off drafting your article somewhere in your user pages, such as User:Amnlat/drafts, where you could work on the article without being interrupted. But putting half-finished articles into mainspace is asking for trouble, I'm afraid! Let me know if you need any more help, Kim Dent-Brown ^{(Talk to me)} 13:20, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Post It Easy (website) or PostItEasy.com

Now content of Post It Easy (website) is not looks or sounds like a spam, but speedy deletion is steel there, why? Amnlat 13:28, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

That wasn't placed by me, but by User:Weregerbil. The stated reason is because 'It is an article about a company or corporation that does not assert the importance or significance of the subject' although I'd also observe that the article at present contains nothing but external links to the website itself. You might like to look here which gives guidelines on what makes people, organisations etc notable. It also suggests what kind of evidence you need to produce. It's not enough to show that the site exists. I could put up a site today and write an article about it tomorrow. You have to find examples of other people (eg newspapers, other media outlets) who agree that it is notable. I'd still suggest that you try drafting this on a draft page in your user space, which would mean you could draft it in peace until it looks credible. I'd be happy to advise if you wish.

PS: the section on web notability is here and is very clear on what does/does not make a site notable. Kim Dent-Brown ^{(Talk to me)} 13:40, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Post It Easy (website) or PostItEasy.com

It`s not a page designed yesterday.

It has good ratings by Alexa.com

http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?url=postiteasy.com%2F

So don`t you think it is Notability?

Have another look here for what determines notability, as far as WikiPedia is concerned. Ratings or number of hits are not among the criteria - although it would be useful to quote a source like Alexa on the article page itself. It looks as though another editor with admin. privileges (which I don't have) has agreed that the articles met criteria for speedy deletion. If you want to draft a page away from new page patrollers, why not draft something at User:Amnlat/drafts as I suggested, and get feedback on it from other editors before you copy it to mainspace? That way you will avoid people tagging it while you're still working on it. If you decide to do this let me know and I'll give you feedback myself, if you like. Best wishes - Kim Dent-Brown ^{(Talk to me)} 15:04, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:Postiteasy logo.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Postiteasy logo.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 02:36, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
