Welcome!

Hello, Gco, Welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope you like working here and want to continue. If you need help on how to name new articles, look at the Guide to Layout, and for help on formatting the pages visit the Manual of Style. If you need general help, look at Help and the FAQ, and if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions). There's still more help at the Tutorial and the Policy Library. Also, don't forget to visit the Community Portal — and if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my New-Users' Talk Page.

Additional tips:

Here are some extra tips to help you get around Wikipedia:

If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills, try the Sandbox.
Click on the Edit button on a page, and look at how other editors did what they did.
You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Always sign comments on Talk pages, never sign Articles.
You might want to add yourself to the New User Log
If your first language isn't English, try Wikipedia:Contributing to articles outside your native language
Full details on Wikipedia style can be found in the Manual of Style.

There's also a regular group introduction to Wikipedia for new users on IRC.

Happy editing!

Note that "see also" sections of articles are for links that don't appear in the text. Also: remember to mark your edits as minor only when they genuinely are (see Wikipedia:Minor edit). "The rule of thumb is that an edit of a page that is spelling corrections, formatting, and minor rearranging of text should be flagged as a 'minor edit'." --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 17:19, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Mel, I only see now these words of you. Sorry :-) Gco 09:06, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Links on CafePress

Your edit summary:

the Category page is not specific for this kind of self-made shops

makes no sense. Both CafePress and Spreadshirt are already in Category:Commerce websites. If a new, more specific category needs to be created then so be it, but it is completely inappropriate to include a bunch of links to other shops which don't even have articles yet on the CafePress page. This should be reverted. Chris Cunningham (talk) 14:05, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Chris, I am Giuseppe, what I mean is that it is difficult for someone looking for such kind of self -made online shops to find by watching that Category, so it could be of some use to have same related links, I suppose. Certainly, if you could create a new specific sub-category (I don't know which english name that could have) that would be the best. Can you please do that? I have no specific commercial interest in that, I only think that "rules" are to be placed after usefulness. Sorry for my english Gco (talk) 14:33, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sure thing. Category:Self-publishing online stores would probably be the best name. I'll add both articles to this category. Chris Cunningham (talk) 15:39, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. CiaoG Gco (talk) 19:47, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. One or more of the external links you added in this edit to the page Desire (emotion) do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. You may wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.

Proposed deletion of Jason Leen

The article Jason Leen has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

subject is not notable, books are self-published and all links provided including "interviews" are at sites associated with the subject

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Yworo (talk) 19:21, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I removed {{proposed deletion/dated}} and I am adding some details, but surely this article needs more improvements. Anyway the subjects touched by the author are very notable, and his work is of very high quality, even if possibly disputable for some. But I don't think that "Illumination Arts Publishing Company" is a not-notable publisher Awards, the same for the italian Armenia (publisher). Anyway, I will seriously consider improving the article to address the issues raised, and I will apreciate any unbiased contribution or help by native language people. Thank you Gco (talk) 14:50, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

April 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Metatron do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Yworo (talk) 19:24, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- It was certainly not made for "promotion"! Gco (talk) 18:40, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
