Hello Fang Aili - I'm trying to get my first contributions into wiki and need some help as to how not to have the entry I posted seem like advertising (as it was cited for deletion). This is a research network investigating new uses for paper and their work is valid. It is world class information and I am hoping you'll consider putting it back up. I also listed information under the header bioactive paper (which was also deleted for other reasons which I'm looking into). Your help is appreciated.Jillw1234 03:47, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
- Hello Jill, thanks for writing. Basically the article needs to be written in an encyclopedic manner. We don't need a blow-by-blow description of what makes the product cool, we need to know why it matters, and it shouldn't be written like it's trying to sell it to me. It also needs to address notability concerns; Wikipedia has certain guidelines on what is considered notable. bioactive paper was deleted for these same reasons. According to these articles, bioactive paper doesn't exist yet, so it's probably not yet ready for Wikipedia inclusion. Have a great day, Fang Aili talk 14:49, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
