[edit] Welcome!

Hi, Damnsoft 09, Welcome to Wikipedia!

Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you enjoy the encyclopaedia and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the simplified ruleset. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and the FAQ; plus, if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions). There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Also, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page.

[edit] Additional tips

Here are some extra tips to help you get around in Wikipedia:

  • If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
  • You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
  • If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
  • If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.

Good luck. --A. B. (talk) 16:52, 28 February 2007 (UTC)


A tag has been placed on Kang Yau Chuang, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Chris 73 | Talk 15:15, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:KangYauChuang.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:KangYauChuang.JPG. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then you need to specify who owns the copyright, please. If you got it from a website, then a link to the website where it was taken from with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 10:30, 14 January 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. feydey 10:30, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spam suspicions → WP:AGF → "Great stuff!" → Welcome → Thanks (+ a suggestion)

Hi. I'm a volunteer with WikiProject Spam. I've learned to watch the List of Malaysian companies page for new companies; 70% of the time, new listings are to spam articles/advertisements from folks that also add linkspam elsewhere. It's one of several "tripwire" articles I watch -- an odd assortment that also includes disparate topics such as Vehicle insurance and LAN gaming center.

So I saw your new listings today and decided to check out what else you'd added. Fortunately, one of our strongest rules is "Assume Good faith" -- and your work is a case study of why we have such a rule.

You're certainly not adding linkspam!

You've done some good stuff in your short time with Wikipedia and the images are a great addition (I'm assuming the copyrights are OK -- I'm weak on the technicalities of our rules). Malaysia is a hotbed for some of the world's most exciting architecture.

I stuck a standard welcome message above mainly because you may find some of the links helpful, especially the stuff in the first paragraph. You may also want to check out Portal:Malaysia

As for the companies you added, you should probably add articles for them; we don't like "red links" on lists like that. Please make sure any articles clearly note from the beginning the company's "notability" in accordance with:

I don't want to seem rule-obsessed -- it's just that we get dozens of spammy articles per hour that we have volunteers that are constantly watching our new pages list for bad articles and some are quick on the deletion trigger. A two-sentence "stub" is fine to start with -- just include a link of some sort verifying notability. It also helps to establish the financial magnitude of the company and whether it's listed on a major exchange.

The irony is that we lack articles on probably half the world's companies with sales >$1000 million, yet we get all these articles for little "Mom and Pop" tiny businesses.

If I can help you in any way, please let me know.

I very much appreciate your work here and I know others will, too.

Again, welcome. --A. B. (talk) 17:24, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:GEM-Logo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:GEM-Logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 06:44, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Logos

Hi!

If you want to add logos to Wikipedia articles, you have to do it carefully and according to the rules.

  1. Read and understand Wikipedia:Logos.
  2. Upload the logo images here on Wikipedia, not on Commons (since Commons accepts only free content, which logo is not).
  3. Tag the image correctly, specify the source and that it is a non-free logo used only under fair use.
  4. Provide rationale that the image use is fair.
  5. Use the logo in the respective article(s).

If you do not comply with the rules, you are only creating more work for you and for admins, as the images will get deleted.

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:GEmall.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:GEmall.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 23:48, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability of Nettlyx

A tag has been placed on Nettlyx requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. LightAnkhC|MSG 14:54, 19 January 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Nettlyx.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Nettlyx.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

[edit] Nettlyx again

The article Nettlyx has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies.

[edit] Image:Nettlyx.png

I have tagged Image:Nettlyx.png as {{orphaned fairuse}}. In order for the image to be kept at Wikipedia, it must be included in at least one article. If this image is being used as a link target instead of displayed inline, please add {{not orphan}} to the image description page to prevent it being accidentally marked as orphaned again.
