A tag has been placed on User:Typing a lot/Red dot Payment, 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 "Click here to 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

License tagging for File:RDP Homepage.png

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:RDP Homepage.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 11:05, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Managing a conflict of interest

[edit]

Information icon Hello, Typing a lot. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Red Dot Payment, you may have a conflict of interest.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. While people with a close connection to a subject are not expressly prohibited from editing about that subject, and are often the kind of enthusiastic writers Wikipedia very much needs and appreciates, they will need to be especially careful about ensuring that their edits are supported by reliable sources and writing with as little personal bias as possible. Statements added to an article under the premise, "I know this is true because I am an expert on the subject", are considered unsubstantiated unless accompanied by citations to such sources, and maybe flagged or removed by other editors if they are not.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of potential problems:

  • Exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products with which they are involved.
  • Avoid linking from your organization's web site to the Wikipedia article or vice versa (see Wikipedia:Spam).
  • Consider disclosing your relationship to the organization or product you are writing about. If you don't, you may be in breach of Wikipedia's Terms of Use (see these guidelines for more information about how and where to do this).
  • Become familiar with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. tutterMouse (talk) 13:04, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@TutterMouse: Hi TutterMouse, thank you for looking at my article. I am not from this organisation, I just started trying out writing articles on Wikipedia, so I am not sure where I am wrong. So according to you, do I remove the link to their website? How else can I improve on this article?

You don't need to remove the links, they are fine but it's more to do with the content itself. From what I can see it seems like there is something there, you say you don't work for the company in question but if not then you seem to be writing this article on their behalf (i.e. they paid you to do so) which still carries a conflict of interest. The article itself could use a few more sources to prove notability, some I question the reliability of but I can see cause for concern about it being solely promotional in nature. Also, there's an issue with you wishing to protect it against vandalism, there hasn't been any and we don't protect them before any vandalism happens so any requests will be denied until it requires it which isn't now as anyone should be able to edit it, for good will or bad. The message above has a lot of reading material should you want to write this article within our policies but if you fail to adhere to them then this article may be deleted. Please also remember to sign using ~~~~ at the end of your messages so we know it's you. tutterMouse (talk) 11:01, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@TutterMouse: Ah, I see... this is my first article on Wikipedia so I went to their website to look at their content. I thought to write on something short for a first article and thought this would be a good place to start. I am still new and confused in using Wikipedia's formats and guidelines. I requested for protection as I thought it is a good thing to have, so thank you for clarifying that for me. I did try finding out all the articles I could about this org, but there are very few. May I know how can I write it such that there is no conflict of interest and to better my writing skills? Typing a lot (talk) 05:08, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on File:RDP Logo.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria. If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the file can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{Non-free fair use}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the file. If the file has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it.

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 "Click here to 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.

Hi

[edit]

@Typing a lot: I know how hard it is to get started on Wikipedia, so I have created a user page for you. Userpages are a great way to express yourself, and are also fun. Go to wp:wikifauna to find out what sort of wikicreature you are. Go to template: Infobox user to add an "about me" table to your page. Join projects and find userboxes about things that describe/interest you like

This user loves pizza.

I hope I was helpful and you can always ask me for help or just talk to me on my talk page! BluJay (talk) 01:54, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @BluJay:, thanks for helping me out here, I did not know I can have a userpage. May I ask, do I add my wikicreature to my userpage? Under which section? Typing a lot (talk) 03:33, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
