From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wikipedia is not a place to promote your business. Your userpage seems to consist solely of information about the business corresponding to your username. Please review what wikipedia is not, and consider removing this information, and contributing to our encyclopedia instead. If you are knowledgable about Bamboo perhaps you would consider releasing a photo of yours underWP:GFDL and illustrating the article with it?. ++Lar: t/c 20:30, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Welcome
It would seem that we started out by criticising your efforts. My apologies, let's give you our standard welcome as well... we do hope you'll choose to contribute here rather than just promote your business.

[edit] Your userpage
Hi,
For now, the MfD on your userpage has closed as a keep. However, your userpage does appear to trend close to violating Wikipedia:Userpage policy: userpages are for the benefit of the encyclopedia, and should not contain advertising for outside businesses. Your userpage was not deleted as a courtesy to you because you are new here. Do please revise it, however, or it may be deleted in the future. Best wishes, Xoloz 16:41, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] User page
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!
I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your user page, and I am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's user page policy. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here? I'd appreciate hearing your views, such as your reasons for wanting this particular page and any alternatives you might accept.
There are several options available for resolving this matter:
- If you can relieve my concerns through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
- If you decide to delete the page yourself, please add
{{Db-userreq}}
to the top of the page in question and an administrator will delete it. - If the two of us can't agree on what needs to be done, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's user pages for discussion, which may result in the page in question being deleted.
Thank you.
