Speedy deletion nomination of The Twain Maxim

A tag has been placed on The Twain Maxim, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Clem Chambers

Thank you for your contributions. One of your recent contributions to Clem Chambers has been reverted or removed, because it contains speculative or unconfirmed information about a future event. Wikipedia has a policy called Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, which discourages such edits. Please only add material about future events if it is verifiable, based on a reference to a reliable source. Thank you.Jan1naD ^{(talk • contrib)} 13:19, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Toddst1 (talk) 19:58, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Francescad. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about following the reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Toddst1 (talk) 19:58, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Enivid. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Investing online because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Enivid (talk) 08:58, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Enivid,

I didn't realise Yahoo! Finance was an internal link. I have changed the ADVFN reference to an internal link also, so I assume this is ok as it now gives readers two sources for information.

Baba Yaga

First, thank you for your effort to write about the book Granny Yaga on the Baba Yaga article. I appreciate that you're trying to improve Wikipedia, but I believe that mentioning that book would not improve the Baba Yaga article, as it is a novel that only features a fictional character similar to Baba Yaga. These sorts of mentions typically belong to a Popular culture section, if the article has one, and even if Baba Yaga were famous enough in pop culture that it warranted a mention in the article, the novel you reference came out this year and hardly had any time to influence it.

On Wikipedia, an often used procedure when you disagree with a new change to the article is to revert it and discuss it with the person who did it. I'm writing this here in case you didn't see my edit summaries when I reverted your edits. Daß Wölf 17:45, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wölf Hi, I appreciate the time you've taken to contact me. The book begins with a very faithful portrayal of the story of Baba Yaga: Koschei the deathless, the hut on chicken legs and the Krivichi tribe. It then shows a different side to the character. I therefore felt it was pertinent. The book is firmly rooted with the tradition. Francescad (talk) 18:59, 20 October 2016 (UTC)Francescad[reply]

Thanks for responding, I'm glad that you're willing to discuss this :) Just one thing, you should indent your responses on talk pages with colons, :. That way it's easier to see who said what.

About the book, it's nice that the book is a faithful portrayal, but that in itself is not enough to warrant a mention in the Baba Yaga article. There have been many books, films, etc., featuring Baba Yaga with more or less verisimilitude, and if we included even just the better ones, the list would soon get out of control. For example, a few dozen are listed here, and that list is still lacking. To fix this issue, Wikipedia generally requires reliable third-party secondary sources that are relevant to the article topic. For example, a top quality source for the edit you made would be a scholarly work, whose author(s) are unrelated to the book author and publisher(s), that discusses portrayals of Baba Yaga in modern literature. In reality, we often have to do with less, but simply referencing the book itself is citing a primary source, which is not sufficient here.

P.S. I see some editors have alleged that you have a connection with some of the subjects of articles you have edited. If that's the case, you should read Wikipedia's policy on conflict of interest and paid editing. Generally, editors are discouraged from working on articles where they have a conflict of interest, as this often leads to problems retaining a neutral point of view.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Zoia Skoropadenko (February 9)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by SwisterTwister was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

What establishes notability here is museum collections or major art reviews.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Zoia Skoropadenko and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
