Open Caching 10 Commandments

Hey there! So I saw you reverted the deletion and someone else reverted yours. I just figured I'd explain why I deleted it originally. It basically seemed like it was just there to show why OpenCaching was awesome. While there are references, it's only to a t-shirt and an advertisement (making the Commandments also an advertisement). Most of the information was already in the paragraph on OpenCaching anyway such as the goal to "be as free and open as possible with no paid content." If you feel like it really deserves a spot in the article, feel free to post about it on the Talk Page so we can get some other opinions. Hope this helps!

Geocaching is serious business

Hi PTMY, I just noticed that you'd reverted an edit I made at Geocaching. You seem to spend a lot of time editing that article and I'm sure you know more about the subject than I, but I'm confused about the fact that the article is listed in Talk:Geocaching as belonging to WikiProject:Games. It seems to have been listed this way since mid-2010. To me this implies that it's a game of some sort. Can you explain what's going on here? Was the addition of that Wikiproject tag in error? Thanks. -Thibbs (talk) 00:18, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Geokrety much?

I see you have made several adds to the Travel Bug page. Is it really necessary to have three separate references to Geokrety? Would you consider dialing it back to one? Hzoi (talk) 18:57, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Rather than start an edit war in response to your laughable reasoning for three separate mentions of the geokrety on the travel bug page, I have opted to start a discussion on the talk page instead. Feel free to share your logic with others. (As a suggestion, you may want to bring more to the table than "I don't like geocaching anymore and opencaching is better and geokrety is better than travel bugs.") Hzoi (talk) 17:39, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, there were 3 mentions added, in 2013, not "several." You might dial back the exaggerating and making things up, and focus on facts a bit more, yourself. PTMY (talk) 00:47, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Unihertz (February 17)

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Although there is one source which covers the company, most coverage seems to focus on its product (Jelly). It is important to find substantive, independent coverage in reliable sources of the company itself, not merely one or two of its products. It is entirely possible this company is notable.

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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Unihertz and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Unihertz, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and save.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

Hello, PTMY. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Unihertz".

Your submission at Articles for creation: Unihertz (January 26)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by CNMall41 were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

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 on the notability of organizations and companies). 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:

I agree with the previous reviewer in that there are many references about the products but I cannot locate anything in-depth about the company which would show how it meets WP:NCORP. The draft is also a victim of WP:REFBOMB.

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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Unihertz and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Unihertz, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.

Geocaching Page Question from EJSuper

	Quick Question
