Welcome to Wikipedia!

W e l c o m e

Hello, Redtalons1! Thank you for your contributions. My name's Airplaneman and I just wanted to say hi and Welcome to Wikipedia!

You may benefit from following some of the links below, which will help you get the most out of the world's largest encyclopædia. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! Please remember to sign your name on talk pages by clicking or by typing four tildes "~~~~"; this will automatically produce your name, the date and the time. You'll soon learn to appreciate people using helpful edit summaries, so please contribute by filling in that box (just above Save Page) every time you edit.

If you are already loving Wikipedia, you might want to consider being "adopted" by a more experienced editor or joining a WikiProject to collaborate with others in creating and improving articles of your interest. (There's a comprehensive Directory of WikiProjects, and you'll find many article talk pages have banners from a relevant project.) Again, welcome, and happy editing!

I have begun editing articles in the Category:Tourism and have run into an issue with a moderator over there. I have just begun to add to (walking tour, tour operator, archaeological tourism) and create articles (Walks of Italy) I believe were needed to round out and increase the scope of the category, and it seems my efforts are being stifled (addition of first article Walks of Italy) by a particularly overbearing and overly stringent editor. I had the same issue 5 years ago when I had first joined Wikipedia and ended up abandoning because it seemed too difficult to get any pleasure out of it. I don't want that to happen again, as I believe I can offer a lot in this realm being that it has been my passion for many years.

I'm sure you are not alone, and it does not apply just to this area. A page is constructed by consensus, and that means that other editors will have a different view to yours, and will change it. That's the use of the talk page - to explain (if necessary) edits and some to an agreement. Any article about a company is much more difficult to write without envoking someone calling it spam. The only thing I would suggest is to always start articles as a subpage in your user space, it doesn't stop someone calling it spam, but it does give you a greater time to polish up the article to a good standard before moving it to article space. I will leave the helpme up, as you may get other suggestions. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 21:50, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The problem you have is that the article is about a company that doesn't seem to be particularly notable. Read WP:GNG and WP:ORG to understand more about notability for companies. If the company isn't particularly notable, there is a risk that the article is viewed as existing only to promote the company, which would result in it being deleted. Your best bet is to provide third party sources that talk about this company (not trade directories) both in the article and in the deletion discussion here Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Walks of Italy --Elen of the Roads (talk) 23:21, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Walks of Italy for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Walks of Italy is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Walks of Italy (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Calton | Talk 01:18, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
