[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Remote backup service 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. Since 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 to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Nja247 (talk • contribs) 10:39, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Backup and List of backup software. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by some search engines, including Google. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Nja247 (talk • contribs) 10:39, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on I365 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, 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), 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. Marsa Lahminal (talk) 16:42, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
Your company
[edit]Assuming that you work for I365, you really should read this page of Wikipedia policy: you shouldn't be writing an article about your company, because that's a conflict of interest. Our policies state that Wikipedia isn't a place for advertising: companies don't deserve listing here, and are only supposed to have articles if they pass our notability standards. Does I365 fulfill those standards? If so, it can have an article, but you shouldn't write it for conflict of interest reasons: you'd do best to submit the sources you find to prove notability to Wikipedia:Requested articles, where someone else will consider your company and your sources, so that (if your company is notable by our standards) an article will be created without the risk of conflict of interest.

- Yes, you understand generally correctly. Go to the Requested Articles page, where you should post the name of the article that you want, and you should list the references that you have. This won't guarantee that your article will be created, but it will ensure that you do the right thing: someone who works there will look at your request and, if the company is notable enough for an article, that person will write an article with your sources. You could also do like you suggested: write the article in a user subpage (for example, you could create it here, your sandbox), and then request that it be reviewed. Continue asking me for advice if you have more questions. Nyttend (talk) 17:51, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
