[edit] Notability of Innerkids foundation

A tag has been placed on Innerkids foundation, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears 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 an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) 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 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. -WarthogDemon 19:20, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

  • On reflection, I think I was wrong to speedy-delete this article. I've restored it and moved it to its proper capitalization at InnerKids Foundation. NawlinWiki 18:54, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability of Wendy Mogel

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Wendy Mogel, by Jac16888 (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Wendy Mogel 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 an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Wendy Mogel, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 19:31, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

I have reviewed the article, and found that notability is exerted enough to not be speedy deleted. However, it still may be deleted through two other means (prod and AfD). Please consider working to bring the article up to standards (and in the future, you may want to make sure you have a presentable version before you upload it to the main article space to avoid future speedy deletion tags. Keep in mind that whenever you upload something, it goes live as an encyclopedia article, so uploading a rough draft is unprofessional. Consider working in a WP:SANDBOX. You can create pages in your user space, i.e. User:Ethicsandkids/articlename to work up rough drafts.) One last thing, I'm not sure if this is an issue or not, but righting articles about yourself is discouraged, or should at least be handled very carefully, so you may want to read conflicts of interest if this applies to you. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or add {{helpme}} to your talk page. Thanks.-Andrew c [talk] 21:22, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
Here are two more tips. When starting a new message on a talk page, you can hit the "+" or plus sign tab at the top of a page. This automatically will create a new topic at the bottom of the page. What you did was "top post", which is placing a message at the top of the page. Wikipedians are used to looking for new messages at the bottom of pages. And next, you need to "sign" your talk page comments, so everyone can keep track of who is saying what. We do this by typing four tildes at the end of our posts (~~~~) or using the signature button in the edit box tool bar if you have that enabled. Hope this helps, and good luck with your articles. -Andrew c [talk] 21:41, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry to bug you one more time. I'm going to post a default welcome message that has a bunch of helpful links for new users. Also, to help you with the slight learning curve, you may want to consider finding a really good article (perhaps a featured article), and examine how it does things. Look at the code. Notice how they cite sources, and how they format things, etc. If and when you have questions, there are a lot of users here that would be glad to help. And good work with your last post on my talk page; it was perfectly formatted. Default message text follows:

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:

  • Please respect others' copyrights; do not copy and paste the contents from webpages directly.
  • Please use 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 unreasonable contents into any articles, such as: copyrighted text, advertisement messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such unreasonable information or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, and will result in your account being blocked.

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 vote pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!-Andrew c [talk] 21:51, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] No Problem

Good luck and happy editing. :) -WarthogDemon 22:03, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Note

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the Bruce Perry article, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later."

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. You can also leave a message on my talk page. DS 18:12, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Yeah, there is a bit of a learning curve. You might want to spend some time editing other articles first, before you contribute one of your own. DS 19:00, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
