You might want to make a request at WP:FEED. That page is specifically for the purpose of reviewing new articles. Chevy monte carlo - alt 11:33, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re. User:English Jim/Recycle me free

At the moment, no, that is not an acceptable article because it only has references to the companies own website.

Articles must demonstrate significant coverage in independent reliable sources, to meet the notability requirements. Please see WP:VRS.

In addition, any conflict of interest causes big problems; please read the business FAQ.

I suggest editing some other articles, certainly for a while; you might join Wikipedia:WikiProject Environment or other wiki projects.

Welcome and introduction

Hi, English Jim. This is NOT some automated message...it's from a real person. You can talk to me right now. Welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed you've just joined, and wanted to give you a few tips to get you started. If you have any questions, please talk to us. The tips below should help you to get started. Best of luck!

You don't need to read anything - anybody can edit; just go to an article and edit it. Be Bold, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people.

Ask for help. Talk to us live, or edit this page, put {{helpme}} and describe what help you need. Someone will reply very quickly - usually within a few minutes.

Play in your user area. For example, create User:English Jim/test.

Edit existing articles, before you make your own. Look at some subjects that you know about, and see if you can make them a bit better. For example, Wikipedia:Cleanup#2009.

When you're ready, read about Your first article. It should be about something well-known, and it will need references.

Good luck with editing; please drop me a line some time on my own talk page.

There's lots of information below. Once again, welcome to the fantastic world of Wikipedia!
