Please do not remove Speedy tags from articles...that is considered vandalism. If you disagree with the tag, please tell us why on the page's talk page. Also, please be aware that we take a dim view of advertising material, which the articles you've been submitting clearly are. Akradecki 16:57, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

LEI Financial

Hello, Mferree, and welcome to Wikipedia. An article you recently created, LEI Financial, was recently speedily deleted because its content is clearly written to promote a company, product, or service. Keep in mind that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not an advertising service. Feel free to ask me on my user talk page if you have any questions. Thank you. -- Merope ^Talk 16:59, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I apoligize for my ignorence. I wanted to add a POV to the theory. I also want to apologize for deleting the spam warning. I made some changes by taking out all of the out bound links and assumed I was supposed to delete it. Again my igonerence. What I was intending to do with the LEI Financial was to create a description/definition of my company, similar to Countrywide. Would it be possible to advise me on what I did wrong. I appriciate your time and opinion. Mferree

Sure. Here's some thoughts:

First, notice how the Countrywide article is completely neutral in POV. That's really important around here. See WP:NPOV
Second, make sure that the company you want to write about actually qualifies for an article. WP:CORP has the guidelines to follow.
Make sure that what you put into the article is properly sourced, with independent verifiable sources (ie, has an independent magazine or newspaper profiled the company? Cite that publication as a reference.) Don't put any external links in the text, although an "External links" section at the bottom is ok, as long as it's not used for promotional purposes. See WP:CITE and WP:V.
Remember, the purpose of an encyclopedia entry is to document the existence and history of the company only, not, in any way, to promote it.
Most importantly, before you recreate a deleted article, write a draft of it on your own sandbox (see Wikipedia:Subpages on how to create one) and then contact the admin who deleted the original page (you can see who did this by going to the title of the deleted page and clicking on the delete log link). Explain the situation, and ask them to review the new article to make sure they are okay with it. If they give it their blessing, then you can recreate the article with the new text.

Please write here or on my talk page if you have further questions. Akradecki 17:52, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for the response. I would like to invite you to view my user page where I have put the changes and let me know if this would be acceptable or not. Thanks again for your time.

Still needs some work. Do I have permission to edit on your user page? Akradecki 20:51, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

YES, Please do.

Quantity theory of money

Please stop adding spam information into the articles. While we welcome the addition of legitimate economics theory, what you have added is meant to promote your business and is written in a non-encyclopedic fashion. Continued activity of this sort will lead to formal warnings and can result in your account being blocked. As I see no one has posted the welcome message to you, I'll do that below. Please consider making yourself familiar with our policies before you spend the time editing more articles that will just be reverted. Akradecki 17:07, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Article rewrite

Take a look at it now. I know the change looks kind of drastic, but it's real important that the article is simple, to-the-point, and yeah, a bit dry. That's the way of an encyclopedia. Now, I'd suggest going back to the admin who deleted the original version. If you can't remember or can't find who he/she is, you might try User:NawlinWiki or User:Mailer diablo, as both are very active in the article deletion department, and can give you some good, critical feedback. When you approach them, in your inquiry message, consider mentioning why you think the article complies with WP:CORP, and be sure to mention that this is an article recreation but with improved text. Good luck! Akradecki 21:24, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, on second look, it looks like User:Merope did the deleting, so you might want to start with him. Akradecki 21:26, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WOW, Thanks a bunch

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by HickoryOughtShirt?4 were:

Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue).

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

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 after they have been resolved.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Duran Ferree (January 30)

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

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines for sports persons and athletes). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This draft does not appear to indicate that one of the sports notability criteria is satisfied. If one of the criteria is satisfied, please revise this draft appropriately, with a reliable source, if necessary stating on the talk page which criterion is met, and resubmit. It is the responsibility of the submitter to show that a sportsperson or other subject satisfies a notability criterion.

You may ask for advice about the sports notability criteria (or other notability criteria) at the Teahouse.

In particular, see and refer to WP:NFOOTY for notability.
