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:

  • Respect intellectual property rights - do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
  • Maintain a neutral point of view when editing articles - this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
  • If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
  • Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such information or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, doing so will result your account being blocked from editing.

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!

[edit] Rogan's Shoes

Hi Cheeks194th! You've done some good work there for a first article. I'm short of time right now so I've only done some minor, easy clean-ups for style and formatting according to the Wikipedia:Manual of Style and removed the advert tag because it doesn't read like an advert anymore to me.

What's really important is to meet the Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) guideline. Articles that do not meet the criterion are often deleted. The key part is the Primary criterion section where it says the subject of the article should have coverage in reliable secondary sources independent of the subject. I don't have time today to do anymore on the article but if you can reference to something like a newspaper, journal, or book, that would do it. Check out Find sources: Rogan's Shoes – news, books, scholar for a start. At first glance, it appears there may be some independent newspaper coverage which would be adequate.

Feel free to ask me any questions you may have on my talk page and I'll get back to you when I get a chance.

I don't know if they are still active but you may want to check out WikiProject Retailing or the recognised good articles at Category:GA-Class Companies articles for some ideas. DoubleBlue (Talk) 20:40, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
