Welcome!

Hello, VerticalFarmer, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like Vertical farmer, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

A tag has been placed on Vertical farmer, 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 as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

FYI conflict of interest guideline

[edit]

If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia in Vertical farmer, Vertical farming, or other articles, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

  1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
  2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
  3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant 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. You may also wish to consider changing your username, to avoid giving the impression that your account is to be used for promotional purposes. Regardless, doing so does not exempt you from the proscription against editing articles in which you have a conflict of interest. Thank you. — Athaenara 19:03, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This page has been nominated for deletion and I am unsure how to proceed. I am new to Wiki and would like to make credible contributions to this page. How can I improve this page to prevent deletion? Valcent (talk) 11:38, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The speedy deletion nomination was declined, but user 2over0 (talk · contribs) has instead converted the article into a redirect to Vertical farming, which already covers the Paignton installation in the section "First vertical farming installation in Europe." If you think you can make the case that there is enough more to be said to warrant a stand-alone article, suggest you discuss it with him.
If you are connected with the Valcent company, please read these guidelines:
Wikipedia is extremely sensitive about being used for any kind of promotion. One of our rules is that user accounts must represent an individual, not an organization or group; I would invite you consider applying at WP:CHU to change your username to something that is not a company name.

Thank you for your help and suggestions.I shall apply for a change of username immediately. Valcent (talk) 10:11, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
