Hello, Thank You for the note of encouragement...I will try harder and re-post new information asap (KbgemKbgem (talk) 12:01, 27 January 2014 (UTC))
- Good luck to you! :) But, just as User:JamesBWatson suggested on your talk page, I also think you should stop trying to create new articles for a while. Please re-read what JamesBWatson wrote on your talk page. SmileBlueJay97 talk 12:16, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

RE : Brock Coyle Article
Well as it seems, the deletion was denied, thanks for being cooperative, i was working on the references, but i had to leave. Thanks for being supportive, luckily, there are people out there that want to contribute, and opted to expand the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Palantek (talk • contribs) 19:16, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
Seventeen wiki page
Um hi.
1.) I noticed that you re-added Shim Yoosang as a past member of Seventeen. He was never a formal member of Seventeen. He was however, a member of Tempest, along with Seungcheol, Doyoon, Jihun, and another boy name Na Youngwon. The group was disbanded and both Yoosang and Youngwon left Pledis, while the three others became part of Seventeen. I have gone ahead and deleted the Yoosang information.
2.) I'm not sure if you did it, but I noticed that both Jisoo and Hansol's birthnames were changed back. Jisoo's birth name is more likely than not, Joshua. Both his Facebook and YouTube account are under the name Joshua, and all of his friends from his hometown L.A. called him Joshua. I put his name in the order of given name first and family name last as, being born in America, this would be the correct way to order them. I did this for Hansol too, seeing as he was also born in America. I have also gone ahead and changed the names back to how I put them.
If you have any dislike as to what I have added or changed, please let me so so that we may discuss it and come to a mutual agreement 6.^ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Allegedlyinsane (talk • contribs) 18:30, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
- 1) Hey! If its true that Yoosang was never a member then you may take him off. I wasn't the one that added him in the first place. Seventeen was supposed to debut as a seventeen member band. Who then, is the seventeenth member? If you know, please add it to the page.
- 2) My only intention was to revert your change regarding Yoosang. I didn't realize I changed the names of Jisoo and Hansol as well, but on Seventeen's offical page Jisoo's name is written as HONG JISOO and Hansol's as HANSOL VERNON CHWE.
- 3) I don't get the "song appearance" section that you added to the page. Maybe you should change the name of that section to "Soundtrack appearances" instead. SmileBlueJay97 talk 18:47, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
- 1.) Seventeen has yet to debut. The final two members have yet to be revealed, but it is thought that they will be revealed before Seventeen's debut this year. (The announcement of their debut this year has not been officially stated by Pledis, but during a Nu'est concert in Japan just a few days ago where Seokmin, Soonyoung, Jihun, and Wonwoo were backup dancers, they were introduced as "going to debut this year." [Stated by a fan on twitter who attended the event])
- 2.) Yes, it does say that. Jisoo is the Korean name he adopted upon moving to Korea. I have not seen any of his friends nor family call him that. And Vernon was previously thought to be Hansol's middle name, though it has been found out by a few (including myself) that Vernon is actually his mother's last name. It is unknown whether he took his mother's last name as his own middle name, or if his last name is Vernon-Choi.
- 3.)Yes, that name does make more sense. I shall go ahead and change it now — Preceding unsigned comment added by Allegedlyinsane (talk • contribs) 19:36, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
re: Tauen
Thanks, you might want to take a look at WP:CITEFOOT - I did not see any valid references. [1],[2], etc in the article need to use the ref tags in order to point to the correct sources. I don't see what you're pointing to, but I'm not going to revert it. Good luck correcting things Evaders99 (talk) 21:58, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
- Because of conflicting intermediate edits, I manually undid User Likeitlikethat1004's edits by copy-pasting the previous version. I did not realize that the references are not copied as well. I have re-added the references. Thanks for notifying. SmileBlueJay97 talk 23:17, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
New Seventeen pic
Hey, I was wondering if you could upload an updated pic of Seventeen to the page. I don't know how to, and they just updated the list of pre-members with new profile pics. After it's up, I'll make a description labeling who is who if you don't know. Thanks! --Allegedlyinsane (talk) 17:14, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
- Okay, I just uploaded the new updated picture. I didn't alter the image size since it seems to be about the same size as the previous one. I'm not sure how you're going to label this picture though since it's not as clear who is on the bottom and who is on top. You can make a general description on Seventeen as a whole or maybe just leave the description blank... SmileBlueJay97 talk 15:18, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for the message!
Not sure if I'm doing this right, as I'm not that experienced with Wikipedia - however hopefully you'll get this (:

HELP
hi,this is the third time my article is goig to be deleted. ive made progress cause the first time and the second time it was deleted right away but now after an hour or so its tagged for deletion :D .ive made some changes since it has been deleted for two times now but could you please give me some advice on how to make it better?
thank you so much :) Newsha7 (talk) 11:40, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Newsha. Here's a quick review of the main issues.
- An encyclopedic article should be about the company - it's history, significance and purpose. What you've got, above, is largely just a list of products and awards, which make the article seem highly promotional.
- Wikipedia needs reliable, independent sources to support its content - of the references you've provided, only the arabnet.me one could be considered to meet those criteria. All of the rest are from AOG themselves, which makes them highly suspect (and also looks like further promotion. You've also included links to external sites throughout the text, which goes against Wikipedia's external links policy.
- To make the article more suitable:
- Find more sources which talk about AOG (but which are not derived from AOG press releases or AOG themselves). This page gives you a quick overview of the sort of sources you need.
- Using these sources, write some more information about the organisation itself, not its products.
- Trim the list of products to include just the most notable releases.
- Remove all of the external links in the article except for references (which should be formatted like this)
- Then submit the page to Articles for creation, and you should see it accepted. Please re-read what User Yunshui wrote on your talk page. SmileBlueJay97 talk 12:48, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
deleted page
Hi,
Could you explain me why you want to delete the page "Tejarat Aria Gostar Iranian Navid Company" i created today. I'me sur there are many ways to improve it but is it necessary to delete it so fast ?
--Abdulik5 (talk) 11:20, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
- Hey Abdulik5. Information about companies and products must be written in an objective and unbiased style, free of puffery. All article topics must be verifiable with independent, third-party sources, so articles about local companies are typically unacceptable. Wikipedia neither endorses organizations nor runs affiliate programs. See also Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) for guidelines on corporate notability. Those promoting causes or events, or issuing public service announcements, even if noncommercial, should use a forum other than Wikipedia to do so. SmileBlueJay97 talk 12:06, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
deleted page
Hello dear SmileBlueJay97,: Firstly i am sorry that in fact I don't speak very good English so that it must have many mistakes in the article .and maybe i cost your time tio delete my page and finish reading my answer (maybe I an very verbiage)
The purpose that I create and edit the page is to introduce the Redmi series .and I initially was going to create the page because i have read about three article about difference series of computer in Wikipedia . and i saw there is also some article introduces the Mi3 and Mi2s.
it has many different products in RedMi series so that i think maybe it will take me a long time to let it be a perfect article. (and i am also try to translate from the pedia from china(of course,with the editor had empower me to do this) )and i very proud that i could let more people know more about the world.
i thing that you may have a look at the homg page of Mi(http://www.mi.com/en/redmi#param). it is a company but i remembered that Wikipedia allows the articles introduce the popular products (like iphones)
you may know that mi is now the third biggest compony in the word and there is a large amount of consumer are using the Redmi phone.
and i have to declare for that i am not advertise for the Mi corporation (I am just a student who applying for an university in the US)
thanks a lot and wait for your answer online.it seems that you are born in 1997?
best wishes

It will first be created as a draft stored in Articles for creation. When you finish, you'll be able to submit it to be reviewed by volunteers.

Gaon Chart
Hello, I was just wondering how to see Gaon Chart positions past 100 as you seemed to have been able to ascertain Wendy's OST placement, if I read the history correctly. I would like to verify that placement but I never knew you could look that far into the list. Thanks for your time. Asdklf; (talk) 00:06, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
- Hey Asdklf, I didn't make the Soundtrack chart but copied it from Seventeen's page and didn't change the headers. After checking again, I found that the rankings are from another chart. I've re-added the ranking and added new references. Thanks for notifying! :) Feel free to contact me again if you have any other concerns. SmileBlueJay97 talk 02:33, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
- I noticed you reverted my edit on Seulgi's page as well. Your reference links to twitter, which is not reliable, but the tweet links to a deleted post on a fan site which is not reliable either, especially because of the deletion making the reference unusable. I went through the Gaon Chart since Henry's release and its not on there and that's really the proof which is truly needed. I am going to again take out the chart position and the twitter reference until it is properly proven. I hope you understand. Asdklf; (talk) 03:15, 9 August 2014 (UTC)Asdklf;
- Also is Kugou a national music chart? I am having a hard time discerning what it actually is though it definitely appears to be a music player app Asdklf; (talk) 03:24, 9 August 2014 (UTC)Asdklf;
- The twitter page probably links to here. So I'm guessing the rank 23 on twitter is from Naver Music, Melon, Mnet, Olleh Music, Soribada, Bugs or Genie. I don't mind and do understand why you've removed it. Kugou is probably not a 'national' music chart. I found it by searching "I Have to Forget You Wendy Rank" in chinese. On kugou's page it does say "日韓新歌榜 排行榜" which means "Japanese Korean New Single Chart Ranking" though. I've removed the ranking from the page.
- Wendy's page has been kept. I'm probably going to request an admin to review Red Velvet's article for deletion page as well since the band is clearly notable and no one has entered a new comment in three days. SmileBlueJay97 talk 16:25, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
- I feel a little funny in that I personally voted 'keep' because of the ranking and I feel the admin's final decision may have also hinged on that point. Asdklf; (talk) 22:08, 9 August 2014 (UTC)Asdklf;
- Perhaps, the admin did. I would argue that Wendy meets criteria 1 (Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published) of notability though 1 2 3 4 5 6. I only searched her up in Chinese and English but I believe there should be more published work of her in Korean media as well. She probably meets criteria 10 (Has performed music for a work of media that is notable) as well since her OST is included in the korean drama Mimi. SmileBlueJay97 talk 10:38, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
- Yes I agree she is probably right over the border. Asdklf; (talk) 17:44, 10 August 2014 (UTC)Asdklf;

DEAR SIR, YESTERDAY I CREATED A ARTICLE ON 'PUNJISTHALA'. WHICH WAS FULL OF INFORMATION. SUPPOSE I KNOW THE ABOUT THAT ARTICLE THEN WHY YOU DELETE IT, WHY DONT YOU LET ANY ONE KNOW ABOUT THAT ARICLE WHICH IS NOT AVAILABLE. IF SOMEHOW I KNOW ABOUT TRUTH FULL INFORMATION, THE YOU SHOULD ADD THAT TO ARTICLE.
IF YOU DONT DO THIS , IT IS TOTALLY DIGUISTING AND DISGRACEFULL. IF YOU DONT KNOW THEN LET SOMEONE TO ADD THAT ARTICLE.
MANJEET BHOGAL (talk) 08:18, 9 August 2014 (UTC) PLS RESTORE THAT ARTICLE
- From what I remember, you wrote about a fictional character with magical powers. The way you have written the article made it seem like a hoax. I tagged the article for deletion but I wasn't the one that deleted it. If you want the article restored, you should go ask Alexf and provide a valid reason in support of your position. If I were you I wouldn't SHOUT and definitely would not call someone "disgusting and disgraceful" for not doing what you want (see WP:CIVIL). I would also provide another reason other than that its "full of information". SmileBlueJay97 talk 15:07, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
- I understand that you are upset your newly created article has been deleted. You come to Wikipedia, hoping to have a successful time here, and make useful contributions, only to see your first attempts rejected. Unfortunately, that is all too common an experience for new Wikipedia editors, and very often new editors who could have become very good contributors instead give up, disillusioned. I hope that you will stay, and that this rather bumpy start can be put behind you, so that you can have a better time here from now on. I will say a few things which I hope will help you.
- Firstly, I strongly recommend not trying to create any new articles for a while. Instead, just make small improvements to existing articles. That way, you can gradually learn how Wikipedia works, and any mistakes you make will be small ones, and you won't see whole articles you have written scrapped, losing lots of work. After a time, you will know enough about what sort of thing is acceptable, and you will be able to write new articles without fear of all your work being deleted. In my experience, editors who start in this gentle way, making small changes to begin with, have a very much better chance of having a successful time here than those who try to write articles right from the start.
- Even though your article may be full of information, it has not yet received enough attention to satisfy Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Also, you had no references cited in your article. You should find sources to support the content in the article or un-referenced text may be deleted.
- Try creating an article Wikipedia:Article wizard the next time. Using Articles for Creation instead of creating a new article directly may grant more leeway with respect to various rules/policies/guidelines/best practices.
- I have put a "Welcome" message template on your talk page. That includes links to various Wikipedia policies, guidelines, and other pages of information which may be helpful. Don't try to read all of them before you edit - there are far too many of them. However, do have at least a quick look at those that seem most relevant to your needs, and of course you can always come back to them in the future, as new needs arise.
- Please do feel welcome to contact me here to ask for any other help. SmileBlueJay97 talk 15:37, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
About the speedy deletion nomination of Cengiz İnşaat Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş.
Hello, I am curious about why do you think that page should be deleted. I need time to work on the page meanwhile I am learning how to use Wikipedia, trying to do it with no mistakes. But if you push me this fast, how can I help Wikipedia to expand? Ps. That page is not for any kind of promotion. I do not own the company. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brktt (talk • contribs) 12:28, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Brktt. Here's a quick review of the main issues. I tagged the page for deletion in three categories: G11, A7, G12.
- An encyclopedic article should be about the company - it's history, significance and purpose. What you've got in the page, is largely just projects its involved with, which make the article seem highly promotional.
- Words in the article such as "greatest construction companies" and "greatest and most prestigious projects" also make the article seem biased. Information about companies and products must be written in an objective and unbiased style, free of puffery. All article topics must be verifiable with independent, third-party sources. Wikipedia neither endorses organizations nor runs affiliate programs. See also Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) for guidelines on corporate notability.

HM4
@HM4 - IMHO it shouldn't qualify as a stub - pretty much everything that could be written on a subject already is - it was a testbed engine from '60s, so you won't see any large amount of content describing it, however IMHO it doesn't qualify as "an article deemed too short to provide encyclopedic coverage of a subject". SkywalkerPL (talk) 13:42, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
- There is no set size at which an article stops being a stub, though the standard is 1,500 characters in the main text. AutoWikiBrowser is set to automatically remove stub tags from any article with more than 500 words. Since very short articles are very likely to be stubs, I've added the tag. I do understand that there are some subjects about which very little can be written so I've removed the tag. You can consider adding the {{expand section}} template to the page.

Hi Smile, :)
It would be very helpful for me to know why did you mark for deletion the page Lofty.com. I will do my best to correct any errors I made there.

- Hello, Dana-nicula. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia. I tagged Lofty.com for deletion, because it seems to be inappropriate for a variety of reasons. I tagged it under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable. You are also affiliated with some of the things you have written about on Wikipedia, so you may have a conflict of interest. All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible. Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. You may also want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles in the future. Feel free to contact me here if you have any more questions.

Cackle Hatchery deletion
I was trying to get across that Cackle Hatchery is one of the oldest hatcheries in the USA and that the Fall Festival is not only unusual but a fun and educational event. When kids think that "chicken" comes from McDonald's and the local grocery store, they need to learn something. What do you suggest I do to make it more appropriate. I see that you have another chicken festival listed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cacklejeff (talk • contribs) 14:09, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

You've added Cackle Hatchery's location on google map, open hours, phone number etc. which make the article seem highly promotional. Please do not use Wikipedia to promote businesses.

Speedy deletion declined: Globo Plc
Hello SmileBlueJay97. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Globo Plc, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The page was not created in violation of a block or ban, and the article is not fundamentally advertisement. If you believe the company is non-notable, please take the discussion to WP:AFD (A7 does not apply because effort has been made to show notability). Thank you. Shirik (Questions or Comments?) 22:38, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
- The creator of the page User:Grc globo (talk) and its sockpuppet User:Globo2014 (talk) have been blocked indefinitely because they appear to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. User:Globo2014 previously created the same page called GloboPLC that was deleted by User:RHaworth under (G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion). User:Grc globo was not allowed to edit until he changes his username yet he created an article of his company again. SmileBlueJay97 talk 23:08, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
- OK, I didn't know about the sockmaster account. This makes a lot more sense now; I'll go ahead and delete the page. Thanks for clarifying that. --Shirik (Questions or Comments?) 00:09, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

- Wikipedia needs reliable, independent sources to support its content - of the references you've provided, only the directrelief.org one could be considered to meet those criteria.

- I strongly recommend that you use Articles for Creation instead of creating a new article directly: doing so may grant more leeway with respect to various rules/policies/guidelines/best practices. Read this page for tips on starting an article.
Upon review, I have added improvement tags to article Aeryon Labs. If you have any other questions, feel free to contact me here. SmileBlueJay97 talk 12:54, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

I'm sorry Wikipedia is too complicated to me and it was so difficult to find out how to leave you a message:) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ijka.nenov (talk • contribs) 13:05, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
- Hello Ijka.nenov. Welcome to Wikipedia. The page has been deleted by User:Peridon under criteria G11, G12, A7 of Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion. I strongly recommend not trying to create any new articles for a while. Instead, just make small improvements to existing articles. That way, you can gradually learn how Wikipedia works. After a time, you will know enough about what sort of thing is acceptable, and you will be able to write new articles without fear of all your work being deleted. In my experience, editors who start in this gentle way, making small changes to begin with, have a very much better chance of having a successful time here than those who try to write articles right from the start. Try creating an article using Wikipedia:Article wizard the next time. Using Articles for Creation instead of creating a new article directly may grant more leeway with respect to various rules/policies/guidelines/best practices. Between, you can leave people messages simply by clicking 'talk' next to the usernames. SmileBlueJay97 talk 13:19, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
Airport Stub?
Greetings. You have marked the Mineral County Airport page as both a stub and that it needs more citations for verification, which confuse me for different reasons. For the stub portion, that page is about the same size as a lot of the other general-aviation airports in Montana such as, to pick at random, Thompson Falls, Jordan, Roundup, and Dillon, none of which are listed as stubs.
The same argument applies to your marking the article for citation. Not only are the same amount of references cited, but it's often the exact same resources, those being the FAA Aiport Master Record (for information and statistics) and the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (for airport classification). But in addition to that, you yourself marked the page as "reviewed." If that doesn't mean that you reviewed the article for verification, then I apologize for the mistake. In that case, the argument still stands that the Mineral County Airport page is nearly identical in form and citations as other pages that aren't marked for review. Every claim within the page is sourced and cited to the FAA.
Thank you for your time. Onychoprion (talk) 19:09, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
- There is no set size at which an article stops being a stub, though the standard is 1,500 characters in the main text. AutoWikiBrowser is set to automatically remove stub tags from any article with more than 500 words. Since very short articles are very likely to be stubs, I've added the tag. Also, articles typically require secondary, third-party sources for verification, so I've added the more sources tag. SmileBlueJay97 talk 14:57, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
Deletion of the RailsBricks page
Hi,
You seem to have requested the deletion of the RailsBricks page. Please reconsider as this is a commonly used open-source web application framework. If you think it is not a good topic (that needs to be extended), please consider marking other web application frameworks for deletion too.
Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.197.236.187 (talk) 19:34, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
- Hello 178.197.236.187. I never said that it was not a "good topic" but the article currently fails WP:GNG on all fronts. You should find sources to support the content in the article or un-referenced text may be challenged and removed. Also please sign and date your posts by typing four tildes (~~~~) in the future. Thank you. SmileBlueJay97 talk 12:09, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
Speedy deletion declined: RailsBricks
Hello SmileBlueJay97. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of RailsBricks, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: AFD is more appropriate for these. I'd agree it probably does not meet WP:GNG at least. Thank you. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 19:54, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
- Hello FreeRangeFrog. Thank you for notifying and for sorting through all the speedy deletion! Can you link me to a page that explains whether a page is more suitable for speedy deletion or for AFD? I am still a little unsure in which circumstances to tag a page for AFD and do not want to make the same mistake as I did on this page again. Thank you. SmileBlueJay97 talk 11:26, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
- Remember that CSD is intentionally limited in scope. Each criteria specifically applies to what the policy says it applies to, and nothing more. That's on purpose! So for example the scope of A7 is clearly defined as applying to ...person, individual animal(s), organization, web content or organized event. So anything outside of that does not apply (buildings, places, animal species, etc). For A7, books, software and products in general are the most common source of erroneous tags in my experience. Now, some software tends to blur the line and can be considered to fall into "web content" but not in this case (and G11 and G12 for example can apply regardless). As to notability of this particular product, I'm seeing some out there in the form of independent reviews but it might not be enough to get it past WP:GNG. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 17:05, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
- Dear FreeRangeFrog. Thank you very much for explaining. I have a much better understanding of whether to tag a page for speedy deletion or for AFD now. If an article does not fit the criteria of speedy deletion, nominate the article for AFD. SmileBlueJay97 talk 08:32, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
- I have nominated the article for AFD. (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/RailsBricks) SmileBlueJay97 talk 10:41, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
- I've added some sources and references for RailsBricks, most notably the Ruby Newsletter (30k subscribers) as well as a podcast link to episode 433 of the Ruby Rogues, an authoritative source on Ruby development. Should this page be deleted, I'd recommend that other pages citing other much less popular web frameworks such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hobo_(software) be also marked for deletion. 92.107.30.128 (talk) 02:30, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

Chalet Eugenia
Dear SmileBlueJay97, Please view the 'Talk Page' on 'Chalet Eugenia' as i believe the link you were referring to is; http://www.leotrippi.com/luxurytravelblog/2014/08/04/our-little-gem-with-gloria-theiler/ This link was temporarily down hence "LinkRot" however as you can see it is now up and running normally. Was there another link in specific you were referring to? If so could you please let me know. I will have it rectified immediately so as to ensure it meets the Wiki guidelines and expectations. Thank you again for your contribution. Kindest regards, Florian — Preceding unsigned comment added by Florian343 (talk • contribs) 16:58, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
- Hello Florian343. The tag was not directed at that specific link but at the citation style. Simply copying and pasting the URL of an online reference is not helpful in the event of linkrot. It is preferable to use proper citation templates when citing sources. See Wikipedia:Bare URLs for more information. SmileBlueJay97 talk 17:10, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
Hello SmileBlueJay97, i think i understand now. Thank you for the clarification. I will work to make every effort to improve my methods when using Wikipedia. Still learning! Regards, --Florian343 (talk) 22:47, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
Hi SmileBlueJay97, (again) Just wanted to let you know that i have read through the page entitled https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources/Example_style. After carefully reviewing the instructions and outlined guidelines on how best to overcome 'LinkRot' i have decided to add the website in the referencing form of a URL beginning with " https:// "at the bottom of the paragraph with the date YYYY/MM/DD of the subject matter specifically related.. I am not sure if this is acceptable let alone the proper way of doing it, which is why i was hoping you could shed some light.. before i do anything incorrect? Thanks again for your time and support! --Florian343 (talk) 22:59, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
- Hey Florian343. I just helped you cite the first three references in the page.
- For websites: {{cite web|title= (title of article) |publisher=''(publisher name)'' |url= (full url) |accessdate=YYYY-MM-DD |date=Day Month Year}}.
- Example: {{cite web|title=Five Best: Luxury Ski Chalets |publisher=''[[The Independent]]'' |url=http://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/five-best-luxury-ski-chalets-517849.html |accessdate=2014-08-15 |date=3 December 2005}}
- For magazines: [(complete url) "(title of article)"]. (release date). ''[[(publisher name)]]'', (page)
- Example: [http://www.chesagrischuna.ch/uploads/presse/pdfs/Vanity-Fair-March-2013.pdf "High Altitude Society"]. (March 2013). ''[[Vanity Fair (magazine)|Vanity Fair]]'', p. 2
- For websites: {{cite web|title= (title of article) |publisher=''(publisher name)'' |url= (full url) |accessdate=YYYY-MM-DD |date=Day Month Year}}.
- Just continue to follow my example. If you still have questions regarding citation, feel free to contact me here. SmileBlueJay97 talk 16:23, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
Ok! I am beginning to understand more clearly now. Thank you again for this clarification. I will continue to follow your advice for the rest of the links. I must say it is rather time consuming. But thank you very much again for your help.--Florian343 (talk) 16:38, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
- Your article does contain a lot of references. I'll help you with the citations. I should be done with fixing up the bare urls in a few minutes. SmileBlueJay97 talk 16:46, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
- Done If possible, please cite reference #24 and 31 by yourself. I can't seem to enter the sites. After you are done with those two, you may remove the 'linkrot' template for the article. SmileBlueJay97 talk 17:01, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
Hello SmileBlueJay97, I really and truly appreciate your help with this. However i'm afraid i am still slightly confused because i tried to reference #24 in the way you told me to, but it also happens to be the link you showed me as an example earlier (above)..ie:
"High Altitude Society". (March 2013). Vanity Fair, p. 2
I tried to use the layout you explained above but it is not completely consistent with the other links you edited. Also this particular link is a scanned copy of a 2013 Vanity Fair magazine which was uploaded by the leading Hotel of Klosters, (Hotel Chesa Grischuna). It is a historical 6 page spread in the magazine and they (Hotel Owners) wanted to save it as it relates directly to the historical story line of the village and of course the Chalet Eugenia.
Basically i am not sure how to proceed.. because again i don't want to upload anything that isn't completely correct or inline with your specific instructions. I profusely apologise in advance for being an annoyance. However it is genuinely not my intention, on the contrary if i may ask you..? Due to your extensive expertise and that you are highly knowledgeable with Wikipedia (editing) etc.., my employer has asked me if you would be interested in working as a Freelance Editor for them in order to help manage a few pages related to topics in Switzerland so as to ensure they meet the Wikipedia guidlines. As i'm sure you know, Wikipedia is a complex and fast paced web environment which requires experts like yourself to make sure everything runs smoothly. If you would be interested in helping us, we would be sure to compensate every moment of your time fairly and appropriately. I hope i have not been too forward or offended you in any way. Please let me know if this is at all an option or if i should just get lost and i can arrange accordingly. With respect. P.S. The FT i cant log into from my computer either (Subscription issues) so maybe we should remove it as it doesn't exactly make much difference to the contents either way. Thank you again and speak soon. Kindest regards, --Florian343 (talk) 21:59, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
- I have removed the 'linkrot' template from the article as the problem has been resolved. I am willing to help your employer and do not need anything in return. I may be busy at times though as I am currently still in dental school. SmileBlueJay97 talk 09:47, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
SmileBlueJay97, It has been an absolute pleasure working with you and i really do appreciate your time. Is there a away to communicate through a more private channel? Is it possible to message users directly rather than continuously through the 'Talk Page' ? I have another page which i would like to introduce to the article but was hoping you could proof read it before it goes live. I hope your studies go well, i am sure you will achieve everything given your intellect level! Keep up the great work because the world needs more people like you!

Speedy deletion
Hi,
I'm contacting you as you tagged NetoTrade for deletion. You mentioned that the article should say why the subject is important.
NetoTrade is a financial broker, and I'm one of its traders. I thought this article should go live to spread the word on this brand.
Can you please assist? Thanks a lot!!

- Hello Zoea86. Your article has been deleted by User:Alexf under criteria (A7: Article about an eligible subject, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject) of Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion. An encyclopedic article should be about the company - it's history, significance and purpose. An organization is generally considered notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not sufficient to establish notability. All content must be verifiable. Information about companies must also be written in an objective and unbiased style, free of puffery. Please see Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) for guidelines on corporate notability. If you want the article restored, you should go ask Alexf and provide a valid reason in support of your position. SmileBlueJay97 talk 08:42, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi I'm saLeh rozati and I didn't understand why you marked me for deletion. Best regards, saLeh — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.124.19.214 (talk) 20:57, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
- Hello SaLeh. I tagged the article under criteria A7 and G12 of speedy deletion. Please do not write an article about yourself, as you apparently did at SaLeh rozati. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you. SmileBlueJay97 talk 08:53, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
