User talk:Rhubler

Welcome!

Hello, Rhubler, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Draft:Jersey Strong Foundation, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

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 Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Jersey Strong Foundation

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Jersey Strong Foundation, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
It appears to be a clear copyright infringement of https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache://www.workoutworld.com/jersey-strong-foundation-wow-gym-nj. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Some hints & helps

I saw your post on Alexf's user talkpage regarding your draft article "Jersey Strong Foundation" being deleted and thought I would post some hints/helps/advice here on your talkpage.
So, a couple of things:

Step back from the subject and think about it objectively, not as someone who knows the business or the people. Have there been numerous articles written about the business in newspapers and magazines? Has it been profiled on TV shows? Has it gotten independent coverage by outside writers, not in terms of "pr" releases from the organization? Is it generally regarded as a leader in its field? In other words, is the subject actually notable?

Please read the following Wikipedia guideline-articles:

general notability guidelines (especially its sub-section promotion & publicity),
Notability (organizations and companies)

You must honestly ask yourself if your subject is notable enough to have a Wikipedia article written about it. Not every business is notable enough, not every organization is notable enough, to have a Wikipedia article - Wikipedia is not a directory, it's an online encyclopedia.

From your post on AlexF's user talkpage it looks like you have a conflict of interest. You either work for or are closely-associated with the organization, so it is extremely difficult for you to have a neutral point of view...are you truly objective about the subject? With a conflict of interest it is very difficult to write a neutral article about a subject.
From your post on AlexF's talkpage it appears that this account might be used by more than one person. If this is the case, that is against the Wikipedia policy of one person per account. There has to be accountability for editing, messages have to go to the correct person, etc. People really cannot be sharing an account, everyone who edits Wikipedia needs to have their own individual account.
You mentioned that you have visited the Teahouse, it's a great resource. Hang out there a little bit more, read through other editors' questions, see the answers that Hosts and experienced editors post. There are other resources that can be very helpful for new editors - here are some links:

Wikipedia:ADVENTURE is an interactive video tutorial aimed at new editors.

Wikipedia:Tutorial is a read-through, article-style walkthrough - this presents a lot of information but in an article format. Some editors might find this more to their liking.

Wikipedia:Simplified ruleset is a page of simplified editing rules on one page, nice to take a look at when the rules/guidelines/policies seem overwhelming.

Follow Alexf's advice to you on his talkpage. Read the various help files, ask more questions at the Teahouse, and remember to sign your posts with 4 of these-> ~. They're called tildes and are up in the far left corner of your keyboard. All your posts need to be signed, the wikicode will be this: ~~~~ and your signature will look like this on the talkpage: Rhubler ([link to your user talkpage]) [Time], [Date]
