Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or sock puppetry.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Medicrats

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Medicrats, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://medicrats.com/definition/.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

Speedy deletion nomination of Medicrats

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 Medicrats, 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 unambiguous 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 and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. - Happysailor ^(Talk) 20:26, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Medicrats

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 Medicrats requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. 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. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted.

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. - Happysailor ^(Talk) 21:47, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Highcostectomy

The article Highcostectomy has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unsourced neologism, dictionary definition

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Nomination of Highcostectomy for deletion

Ralph Weber (businessman)

Strongly advise you to tone down the PROMO and source this article. E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:17, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Is there anything specific that sounds too much like a PROMO? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Route 3 (talk • contribs) 15:50, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Route3. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Ralph Weber (businessman), you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 21:36, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ralph Weber (businessman)

Please be advised that another user has nominated Ralph Weber (businessman) for deletion. The discussion will take place at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ralph Weber (businessman).

The purpose of the discussion is for the community to reach a consensus of whether the article should be kept or deleted. The discussion will focus on whether the article complies with Wikipedia guidelines and policies, such as whether Weber is a notable person and whether he has received significant coverage in independent reliable sources. IMO, the best thing you can do to preserve the article is show that Weber has been written about in high-quality sources that are completely independent of him—in other words, secondary sources.

Since you logged in today to request the article to be restored (which it was automatically, because it was a proposed deletion), it is reasonable to expect you will see the message about the deletion discussion today or tomorrow. Deletion discussions usually run seven to ten days, so you need to take action sooner rather than later if you want the article preserved. —C.Fred (talk) 00:15, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Paid editing and conflicts of interest

I am not an admin, but I did see your request for undeletion for

Ralph Weber (businessman) · ( talk | logs | links | watch | afd ) · [revisions]

Since the page was deleted as a result of a deletion discussion (click the logs and afd links above), it is unlikely to be restored.

I'm writing because you said I received a solicitation email by a business that writes Wikipedia pages for "80% off" just prior to deletion. I sent them a link to the pages, then shortly thereafter it was deleted. I'd like the page to be reinstated and get it in compliance with your guidelines.

Wikipedia is not a marketing venue. "Paid editing" must be disclosed. Paid or not, editors with a conflict of interest should not edit areas in which they have such a conflict. See Wikipedia:Paid editing and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest for details.

While I'm not suggesting that you are engaged in paid editing or editing with a conflict of interest, you might consider the motivations of that business before helping them out here on Wikipedia. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 15:54, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
