User talk:Larrypaulb

Welcome!

Hello, Larrypaulb, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like Thrive (website), may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted (if it hasn't already).

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Speedy deletion of "Thrive (website)"

A page you created, Thrive (website), has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a website, but it does not indicate how it is important or significant, and thus why it should be included in an encyclopedia. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and the guidelines for websites in particular.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Thank you. ukexpat (talk) 21:01, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the Speedy Deletion of Thrive (website) stub article

I wish to challenge the deletion of a page that you deleted.

The page title is Thrive (website).
I have read the reason for deleting the page and I feel it was incorrect because the issue had been addressed and contested before the deletion occurred (see the history and Talk pages for the article), and the article was still a work in progress with more assertions of importance to come. In addition to the sources cited by the deleted article in question and those that will be added later (restoration permitting),
The following sources back up my claim:
1. CNet: Thrive gives automated financial advice - points out that Thrive gives personalized, actionable financial advice, which is uncommon.
2. Netbanker: Finovate 2008 Thrive - highlights Thrive's unique Financial Health Score, which serves as a numerical indicator of one's overall financial situation, and the ability to track one's credit score, another first for PFMs.

Please consider restoring this article. Larrypaulb (talk) 15:26, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. This page has been restored and a community discussion opened to determine whether or not the page is suitable for Wikipedia. You can find that discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thrive (website). Stifle (talk) 16:02, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:Thrive (website) logo.png

Thanks for uploading File:Thrive (website) logo.png. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 16:10, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:MarkMedoff.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:MarkMedoff.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 16:47, 1 June 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. (ESkog)^(Talk) 16:47, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

inappropriate external links

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to several financial articles 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 articles' respective talk pages before reinserting it. Please note that blogs are generally not permissible as external links. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. --Cybercobra (talk) 20:13, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
