User talk:Oldfieldev

Welcome!

Hello, Oldfieldev, 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 MyHotspotter, 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 this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Speedy deletion of MyHotspotter

A tag has been placed on MyHotspotter, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. §FreeRangeFrog 17:30, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Trustive, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Fabrictramp | talk to me 00:03, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Trustive

Just expanding on my answer to you at Wikipedia:Requests_for_undeletion#Trustive.

While the article could use some copyediting to make it more encyclopedic and less like an advert, I'm not seeing the "unambiguous" advertising here. Bearcat (talk · contribs) is the best person to answer why s/he deleted it, so I'd suggest you drop Bearcat a line on his/her talk page.

So that you can work on it in the mean time, I've moved it to a subpage of your user page at User:Oldfieldev/Trustive. This will give you more, but not unlimited, time to work on it. My personal advice would be to take a close look at the language in the piece, because it is getting pretty close to a press release -- only the first line is truly encyclopedic. I've taken the liberty of making some suggested changes to the article -- you can see the difference at this link. Don't feel you need to stick to those changes; it's just an example of how to make it more encyclopedic by sticking to bare facts and getting rid of phrases like "both reliable and competitively priced", which may be what triggered the deletion.

Hope that helps!--Fabrictramp | talk to me 16:12, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
