Speedy deletion nomination of QuickPlay Media

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

A tag has been placed on QuickPlay Media 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 of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about it 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 you can assert the notability of the subject, . Clicking that button will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the article's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

See the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 17:55, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Trial pay.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Trial pay.jpg. 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 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Cloudbound (talk) 03:25, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free rationale for File:State PIECHARTMAP Electric for Wikipedia.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:State PIECHARTMAP Electric for Wikipedia.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. 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 media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. We hope (talk) 16:33, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:State PIECHARTMAP Electric for Wikipedia.png

Thank you for uploading File:State PIECHARTMAP Electric for Wikipedia.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

May 2014

Your recent editing history at Applause (application quality company)‎ shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. — Dmitrij D.

Applause (software testing company) listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Applause (software testing company). Since you had some involvement with the Applause (software testing company) redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 19:31, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I don't really know how to do this. I would like to have the redirect go to "application quality company" because that is their category -- verified by industry analysts. Is it possible to keep this? Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eharrison3 (talk • contribs) 19:38, 29 May 2014‎ (UTC)[reply]

See, you renamed the article several times, and each of these operation left a redirect to the new name. Particularly,

Redirects on Wikipedia surf navigational purposes. Eg. currently, if user searchs for "uTest" on Wikipedia, he ends up at Applause (application quality company), because uTest is a redirect to that article.

In my opinion, string "Applause (software testing company)" is unlikely search term, partially because, as you say, it is not exactly the genre of Applause, and partially because nobody really uses parentheses in search terms. That's why I nominated this redirect for deletion. Regardless of outcome, this discussion changes nothing about your article.

If you have any opinion on this matter, please proceed to Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2014 May 29#Applause (software testing company), where the deletion of this redirect is discussed. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 20:02, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Understood -- I am fine with the deletion of Applause (software testing company). I apologize for any confusion I created. Do I do that or has someone done so already? Clearly I don't know nearly enough about what I'm doing. I appreciate your help.user: Eharrison3

FYI on Wikipedia only administrators may delete anything. If the outcome of discussion would be "delete", the page would be deleted. You participation is not needed. P.S.: to sign your comments you should simply append "~~~~" to your comment. Good luck! — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 20:12, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Understood. Thank you. I have no argument to not delete this. That was awkwardly worded but you get the point. "~~~~"user: Eharrison3 Out of curiosity -- why can't I list legitimate awards this company has won? When it was uTest, we were allowed to do so. Now that the company is Applause, they keep being deleted. Please advise. They are legitimate awards ... and also, our locations and business model, also allowed when the company was uTest, is continually deleted. Why?"~~~~"user: Eharrison3

Disambiguation link notification for May 30

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Applause (application quality company), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Application (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

June 2014

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for edit warring, as you did at Applause (application quality company). Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Spinning Spark 15:02, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Eharrison3 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Hello, I would like to appeal this block. I am making edits for the Applause (application quality company) that are properly attributed. The impetus for this new entry was that the company was previously uTest, and I took already-approved content from that page and added the bulk of it to Applause. I'm not sure what the issue is with listing properly-attriubted, legitimate awards, as well as the company's location and business model. Please let me know how far I can go on this without drawing the ire of editors. That is by no means my goal and perhaps my approach was wrong. Please help me make it right -- I simply want to add industry awards, business model and locations, all of which are factual and can be attributed to legitimate third parties (except for locations, that's just a fact. Thank you in advance for your help. ~~~~

Decline reason:

You are blocked for edit warring; you'll need to address that in any unblock request. --jpgordon^{::==( o )} 13:46, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

I did not block you for adding awards to the article (although I agree that your edits are promotional). Rather, I blocked you for repeatedly inserting the material after it had been removed by at least three different editors. You need to reach consensus with them first before attempting to reinstate it. Also, if you are connected with this company, as I suspect you are, it is inadvisable to edit the article directly yourself. You should restrict yourself to suggestions on the talk page. SpinningSpark 12:21, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you [[User:Spinningspark] ... User jpgordon can we come to some consensus? I'm not trying to battle here ... just trying to accurately portray the copany. Please help me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.228.197.127 (talk) 15:41, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If you are Eharrison3 not logged in you need to first resolve your block before you can do anything. That means either making a request for unblock that is accepted, or else simply waiting for it to expire. SpinningSpark 18:20, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry SpinningSpark. I would like to officially request an unblock and figure out a way to work with the editors who seem to consistently disapprove the information I am putting up (all cited, all factual) for the company Applause (application quality company). I will admit some ignorance but quite frankly, I'm getting a bit annoyed by this. These are all legitimate, sourced awards; the company's locations and business model are factual. Is there nothing else on Wikipedia requiring your attention? I'm sure there is a great deal ... and I respect greatly what you do. But can you please leave me be and let me use PREVIOUSLY APPROVED CONTENT from when the company was uTest, for goodness sakes? Respectfully Eharrison3Eharrison3 (talk) 18:38, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You have still not addressed the issue you were blocked for. If you want another administrator to look at this you need to open another unblock request, but please this time address the issue. SpinningSpark 23:02, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Essentially, what you need to do is read our edit warring policy, let us know that you have understood it, and agree that you won't breach it again. SpinningSpark 23:22, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

User:Spinningspark: I acknowledge reading the policy, I understand it and will not do so again. May I please be unblocked?

Actually, I only blocked you for a week and it expired some time ago. You are not currently blocked. Thank you for reading the edit warring policy. As you are a COI editor and your edits were opposed by others I strongly advise you to refrain from editing the Applause article directly and restrict yourself to making suggestions on the article's talk page.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Nucleus Research, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Amazon.

Speedy deletion nomination of TrialPay

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on TrialPay requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company, corporation or organization that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.
