[edit] Welcome!

Hi there, Paularnhold, and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm a regular contributor here, and when I notice on the recent changes log that a new editor has registered, I like to send them a welcome message - that's how I ended up on your talk page.

If you've never edited here before, there are a few useful links that you might want to look at, designed to help newcomers learn the ropes:

Here are a few features of Wikipedia that I find particularly helpful:

  • If you leave a message on a talk page, you can sign it with four tildes (~~~~), which will automatically produce your name and a date stamp when you save the page
  • The "Show preview" button allows you to look at what your post will look like before you save it - that way, you can proofread what you've written and not have to back and correct spelling mistakes, failed links, etc.
  • You can create a watchlist for yourself that will keep a record of any changes made to a page that interests you.

There are plenty of other features and facets of Wikipedia, many of which I probably haven't even discovered myself, so have fun looking around and finding them.

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Again, welcome! - Tapir Terrific, 19:29, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please Stop Spamming

Thank you for experimenting with the page Document imaging on Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Storkk 01:58, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Again, I don't understand how that's spamming. There are other companies listed under the article and please explain how some belong there and others don't?

[edit] Stop Spamming

Please stop. If you continue to use Wikipedia for advertising, as you did in Document management system, you will be blocked from editing.

Also, do not remove {{advert}} tags without either fixing the problem or discussing the issue on the article's talk page. --Storkk 02:01, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Please read WP:CORP and WP:NOT --Storkk 02:08, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

I don't understand why you considered the post under document management as spam. There were a number of other companies listed there and Perceptive Software is, as they are, a document management company. Can you please clarify this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Paularnhold (talk • contribs)

[edit] reply to your message

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I will attempt to deal with them now. Contrary to how it might seem, I am not just picking on you -- I simply saw you first. If you look at the history of their page, you will see that it was immediately rendered to a semi-acceptable (i.e. non-advertisement) version. It was only recently vandalised back to a spamming version by an anonymous IP. I will, however, nominate them for deletion as well, since they also do not fit WP:CORP or WP:WEB requirements. If you have any more questions, please feel free to add to my talk page. Thanks. Also, please be aware that just because someone else has done it, and hasn't been caught should not be interpreted as it being allowed. --Storkk 22:26, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] P.S.

You should also note, that OnBase, Hyland's product was deleted, see here. Apparently, Hyland was just overlooked in the process. --Storkk 22:34, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] PPS

Also see Talk:OnBase for more information. PLEASE remember to read:

If you are still feeling singled out, please feel free to inform me on my talk page about competitors of yours that seem to be getting unfairly good treatment. I will try to rectify this as soon as possible. Thanks --Storkk 22:38, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Laserfiche

Re your comment about Laserfiche, it seems they do meet all the above policies. Please see the "References" section on their page. Note that these articles are NOT published by themselves, and so are acceptable under WP:SOFTWARE, etc. The article also certainly does not read like advertising copy, but more like an encyclopedic entry. --Storkk 22:55, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your rights on WP & re {{prod}} tag

In the spirit of full disclosure (and to demonstrate that I hold no grudge), please also note that (unlike a "db" (speedy delete) tag) you may remove a "prod" tag from the page, provided you either:

  • a) dispute (with detailed reasoning) the arguments on the talk page of the article and/or
  • b) edit the article so as to conform with the arguments given in the prod tag.

I sincerely request you do not do this, since I highly doubt you can dispute them successfully. However, as an editor, you have the right to. If you do (and I still don't think the results conform to policy), I will list your article on WP:AFD, where a discussion will take place until an administrator decides what to do. I mention this in the interest of full disclosure, and hope that instead of doing so, you will mention to me competitors (unlike Laserfiche - see above comment) that have been unfairly well treated: i.e. do not comply with WP:CORP, WP:WEB or WP:SOFTWARE but yet are not listed for deletion.

Please note that the above comments don't wholly apply to the {{advert}} tag... If you remove the prod tag, I cannot replace it (per policy), but must use an AfD procedure. The advert tag, however must be rectified by cleaning up the article so that it doesn't sound like an ad. This diff is a mild example (that didn't go far enough) of what is needed in order to remove an advert tag, UNLESS you dispute it on the article's talk page.

To inform you of further rights, you may also report my actions to a WP:ADMIN to clarify what they think of my actions, or (if you are really serious about doing me in) create an WP:RFC. Please note, this is no joking business. I inform you about this because you are new, and you have an Eris-given right to know your rights. Again, please feel free to discuss on my talk page, hopefully before you take such drastic measures. --Storkk 23:18, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Assurance?

Hi Paul,

On my talk page, you wrote:

"You assured me I would have until the end of the year to validate the Perceptive Software entry."

I'd respectfully suggest that I said absolutely no such thing. I believe my words (here, on the entry's talk page, and on its AfD page [found here]) were to the effect that you can re-create the article when the proper sources exist, per Wikipedia policies found here, here, and here. When you re-create the article with reputable, verifiable sources and assertions of notability, Wikipedia welcome your contributions which we will certainly deem valuable. Thanks for your understanding, Storkk 13:53, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Paul, you also suggested by some of your comments that you were of the opinion that I deleted something. I did not. Please see WP:AFD for an outline of Wikipedia's deletion process. I am not a janitor, hence am not empowered to delete any article, category or template myself. User:(aeropagitica), as the AfD for Perceptive Software indicates, was the person to close it. Thanks, hope this helps, Storkk 14:05, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I apologize, but I must have misunderstood. Is there a way I can get the content I had generated on Wikipedia, as I know it was close to meeting the site's standards. I believe I was making a general reference when I mentioned the deletion. Thanks for your assistance. Paularnhold 15:12, 27 September 2006 (UTC) Paularnhold

Administrators have the ability to retrieve deleted content. You may ask one of them (I'm not too sure how successful you might be, I've never tried). Alternatively, when your company meets WP:CORP, you may ask for a temporary undeletion, per bullet point #4 on WP:UNDEL. Sorry it took so long to reply - in the future, it would be easier if you replied on my talk page. Thanks! All the best for your company. If it becomes WP:NOTABLE, I'm sure that inclusion on Wikipedia will be the least of your benefits! :-) Cheers, Storkk 01:35, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Perceptive Software.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:Perceptive Software.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Storkk 21:48, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Perceptive Software.PNG

Thanks for uploading Image:Perceptive Software.PNG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
