Welcome!

Hello, Bruno pages, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}} after the question on your talk page. Again, welcome!

A tag has been placed on BOUML, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please 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 help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from [[ Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable sources]] to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. - Zeibura S. Kathau ^{(Info | Talk)} 19:00, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Note on article creation

Hello! I'm contacting you, as I'm the administrator who deleted the BOUML article. The reason that it was deleted was that it was clearly promotional (and yes, open-source software can have a promotional stance taken toward it). I can tell you right now that I'm writing this message on a Ubuntu Linux machine, that I've had great luck with it since the day I installed it, and that I'd encourage anyone to give it a try. While all that's true, it's also promotional in tone. Our goal is actually not to indiscriminately collect information, or to be a directory of everything we can get information on, though this is a common misconception. We are actually intending to create a reference work. To those ends, we do have several content policies:

Articles must always be written in a neutral tone, neither taking an unduly positive or negative tone, and only providing information verifiably true through good sources.
Content in articles must be sourced to verifiable and reliable sources, and must not be based solely upon the author's personal knowledge, original research, or own experience. While having knowledge and experience in a field may be helpful when writing on it, you should be able to back up that knowledge with a good reliable source.
This being the case, the subject of an article should have a significant amount of coverage from sources which are reliable and independent of the subject.

I left you a welcoming message above, it's intended for newer editors to learn their way around a little bit. If you have questions, you're also welcome to ask at the help desk, editor assistance, or my talk page to communicate with me directly. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 19:28, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image removal

Hi Bruno- It looks like you've been trying to delete some images by uploading blank image files on top of them (e.g. Image:Boumlcomponent.png). Blanking pages is frowned upon here, since we have a more effective process for deletion. If you'd like an image that you uploaded to be deleted, then just add {{db-self}} to the description page, and it will be properly deleted by an administrator within a few days.

Image deleted

Yes I tryied to remove the pictures because the associated article was censured. I search for a way to do that but didn't find this option. {{db-self}} added in the descriptions. thanks Bruno pages 13:56, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

December 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you. Piast 93 22:34, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I restored your comment on the noticeboard. I don't think there was a very good reason to remove it. —Ruud 00:33, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am in agreement with Piast93, the topic was "I'd rather have us only discuss the quality of the sources on this noticeboard" and I did not have any answer from Bruno on this matter. Comte0 (talk) 00:56, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's poor etiquette to remove comments that don't seriously distract from the discussion, especially from users have not been fully introduced to our community and its many formal and informal rules (Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers). —Ruud 01:20, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think you should change your username. BOUML on the French Wikipedia is self explanatory. Or not? Lotje ツ (talk) 18:38, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
