Hello, Terrencesoe. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions!

If you need further help, you can:
  Ask a question

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page, and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:
  Fight vandalism
  Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome
  Help contribute to articles
           
  Perform maintenance tasks
  Become a member of a project that interests you
  Help design new templates

Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~ at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.
The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

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 La Boîte à Moustaches, 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 encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Your article

[edit]

You said, "whether it is interesting or not, this article is neutral and only tells facts about an existing organization. But perhaps only notable companies deserve a wikipedia page". The article was mildly promotional, but you are right that only notable companies get articles here. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a directory. Please read WP:CORP about notability for companies, and WP:RS about the reliable independent sources needed to prove it. In addition, please note that this is the English language Wikipedia, and we only allow articles in English. Articles in French should be posted at the French language Wikipédia fr:WP:Accueil_principal. If your intent is promotional, so far as I am aware none of the other language Wikipedias permit promotion, but possibly this one is the strictest in enforcing it. If your intent is merely information, you can find the relevant policies on the French language Wikipédia at fr:WP:NESP and fr:WP:ISP. Peridon (talk) 11:04, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
