[edit] Request For Adoption?

This user has been offered adoption by an experienced editor (If you wish adoption by another user click here)

My user name is Sirkad, I have been on Wikipedia for almost a year, it seems you have some problems regarding Mail2world is this just because you do not know much about wikipedia or was it vandalism? If you would like to be adopted in order to get a greater understanding of wikipedia tell me so on my talk page and I will help you in any way I can. Sirkad(Talk) 02:43, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mail2World

Okay, first off in order to not get deleted your article must have a reason for being made. It CANNOT be and advertisement. It must have a significant amount of information and it must be from a neutral point of view. Show me what you have as far as information goes and i'll tell you what the problem is. Sirkad(Talk) 18:06, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

You need more information first off, you need to find as much as you can, then you need to state your resources, when you get more info post it on my talk page and ill help you with it. Sirkad(Talk) 19:55, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Adoption

Done, check your user page. Cheers! Sirkad(Talk) 01:09, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] You ever on?

Are you ever on?...Sirkad(Talk) 07:18, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Question

no problem, but I guess i'm a bit confused as to what your are asking...how do you link your footnotes to sources? if im understanding correctly what you are asking...you should make both footnotes, and sources...that probably doesnt answer your question, could you elaborate? =P sorry Sirkad(Talk) 01:27, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

okay, okay, here we go, one question at a time lol. first...Ciations and Footnotes are easy, you do it just like you would for any ordinary subject, two = and then "Referances" or "Footnotes" then simply list them, second question. your box is one way to do it but there is a better more organized way to do it, here is a great example (just put your companies info in for the info already there and it will look good.) Sirkad(Talk) 01:57, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Heh, np thats what its for, and yes you can delete them now. Sirkad(Talk) 01:56, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Here is what yours would be (fixed it for you)Sirkad(Talk) 01:59, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

also, dont include links to pages that dont exist, (in your box the coo link was red, i took it out tho.)

[edit] RE: Correct?

no, Here is an example.

The Sun is pretty big,^[2]

however the Moon is not so big.^[3]

so, when you use an example from a book or website, you put < ref >< /ref > (without the spaces) with the info inbetween and then under where you are citing your pages you just put </references> and it will put them all there for you. also. | is created by holding shift and pressing \ (above the enter button.)

[edit] References

1. ^ Google
2. ^ Miller, E: "The Sun", page 23. Academic Press, 2005.
3. ^ Smith, R: "Size of the Moon", Scientific American, 51(78):46.

You dont even have to do what you did on my talk page, it is wayyyyyy simpler! lets say i was going to talk about penguins and i found a fact from a book, i would do this.

Penguins are black and white^[1]

then the info of where i got the information in between < ref> < /ref>

and finally i get

1. ^ Sirkads book of knowledge

[edit] Regarding your article

Make a subpage with your article in it and give me the link, i'll tell you what I think needs to be done to it and if you can make the article for real. cheers. Sirkad(Talk) 03:10, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My Article

Mail2World is a Software as a Service (SaaS) provider that provides a wide range of web applications. Internet based email and communication services. It was founded in 2000 in Los Angeles, California at the height of the dot-com bubble. On, November 19, 2007 Mail2world announced it has 10 million registered users and that it has handled 5.6 billion messages since its inception in 2000. ^[1]

You need tons more info about it, otherwise it will get speedy deleted for not having enough. try saying who it was founded by and other stuff, on the plus side, you did the reference right, except for 1 thing, in the < /ref > you put at the end, there is not supposed to be any spaces. Sirkad(Talk) 03:42, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Last Question

1. Yes, you can keep adding to your talk page but i recommend you make a subpage, heres how. type into the search bar. User:M2W/Mail2World and click on "Edit Page" then just copy and paste your article there, you can go back there and edit it whenever you want and also you will be able to save space on your talk page, then when you are done with the article just copy and paste it onto the real article page.

2. Yes, you can talk about awards and partnerships, just make sure you keep a neutral point of view.

Cheers, pleasure helping you, if you have any other questions just ask, I usually get on every day. Happy editing. Sirkad(Talk) 04:11, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

K, did you figure out how to make a subpage? if so, what is it? and also, your info on icq is good, but lemme see what you have in the article so far. Sirkad(Talk) 00:02, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when.

[edit] Your article

I think it is great, I'm asking another user what their take is on it and whether it might get speedy deleted. I'll tell you what he says you should fix when i receive the info, overall i think it is a very good article to start.  Sirkad  _talk  ^sign  00:59, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I think the article should be recreated it has sufficient context Alexfusco5 01:08, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

You should first move it to the mainspace and then add more information. After it is submitted to the mainspace it will be edited by many users which will improve it Alexfusco5 01:41, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

There you go, I'm glad i could help you with your article, if you have any further questions you may ask me, if not, within the next 24 hours i will graduate you.  Sirkad  _talk  ^sign  01:42, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Nope, it has plenty of info, all it has to have is significant info and you will be okay...it doesnt have to say "this article is important because..." it just has to have good, encyclopedia quality information, which yours does. Cheers!  Sirkad  _talk  ^sign  15:12, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:M2w logo color trans.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:M2w logo color trans.gif. 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.  Vintei  talk  02:06, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

The rationale, I changed it a bit: it is a low-res image (lower than 300x300). Thanks. Have fun!-- Vintei  Talk  01:03, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
