User talk:Caliclima
{{helpme}} Hi, I am a very new Wikepipedia user. I have read a lot of the Wiki help pages on how to create a page and played in the sandbox and I thought I was ready, but now I am running in to some trouble.
How do you create the box that is common on right hand side of Wiki pages? I would like to write my first article on a company called Sustainable Asset Management. I am trying to figure out where I could upload the company logo to go in this box (after I figure out how to create the box. How do I upload a logo? I have tried navigating Wiki Commons but to no avail.
In the end, how do you make the page so that everyone can view it (i.e. live on wikipedia.org)?
Thank you very much for any help you could offer. Caliclima (talk) 15:30, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
- Well, I'll start with the second Question as soon as I get a chance. Though you may want to read WP:COI. Mr. R00t Talk 16:12, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
- For the live on wikipedia you can a)create the article in your userspace (aka User:Caliclima/A page to be created) and then move it into article space or b) type the name of the article you want to create into the search box and press create. Mr. R00t Talk 16:53, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of SAM Group
[edit]You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.
Thank you.
A tag has been placed on SAM Group requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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 article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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. Reconsider! 07:05, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
In response to your query on the talk page, the article does not credibly indicate why the subject is notable. -Reconsider! 07:48, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:SAM Logo.pdf
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:SAM Logo.pdf. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free 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 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 "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 19:36, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
naked URIs
[edit]Please read this. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 15:20, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
what does that mean?
[edit]Thank you very much for your comment. I am just a bit confused and sorry for my ignorance, but what is a naked URI? Thanks in advance for clarifying Caliclima (talk) 15:39, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
- My words "read this" above are a link. Did you actually follow the link and read? Which of the following looks more aesthetic?
- In case you still don't get it, a naked link is something like http://www.nedwater.eu/Water%20Blue%20Gold.htm . As a minimum, you must create proper links with a "link name" thus: Climate Change Awards 2010 Winners. But ideally, you should use the {{cite web}}, {{cite news}}, etc. templates. You may find it useful to open this page or section in edit mode and actually look at the markup I have been using. Other changes needed to the refs in Sustainable Asset Management: use name= to deduplicate references thus (note that "thus" is a link - follow it); www.igcc.org.au/Resources/Documents/clean_tech_11_h23.pdf and two others are not even links (http:// missing) - fix them; this link requires a log in - I suggest omit it or replace with a page that does not need log in. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 00:53, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
Oh OK, thank you very much for the detailed explanation and very sorry for not understanding before. I do however appreciate you taking the time to teach me. I will work on cleaning up the links that I added. I like your suggestion about having the page open while I do it. Caliclima (talk) 05:47, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
