Speedy deletion of AstralliS

edit
 

A tag has been placed on AstralliS requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, 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. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. CultureDrone (talk) 19:32, 4 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Andy Tillison has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://prog-sphere.blogspot.com/2010/05/prog-spheres-interview-with-andy.html. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, or similar site, then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Nektar do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

Thanks for uploading File:Psscreenshot.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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Prog-Sphere.com

edit
 

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 Prog-Sphere.com requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done 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. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). 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 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. Cntras (talk) 11:15, 3 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image File:Pslogo.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Pslogo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. 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).

PLEASE NOTE:

  • I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions.
  • I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
  • If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
  • To opt out of these bot messages, add {{bots|deny=DASHBot}} to your talk page.
  • If you believe the bot has made an error, please turn it off here and leave a message on my owner's talk page.


Thank you. DASHBot (talk) 05:42, 6 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Re: Progsphere reviews

edit

Hi. Please stop adding information and/or reviews from Progsphere. The site is not a reliable source. According to the "About" section of the site, it is a "blogzine". WP:RS says that blogs are not acceptable sources for articles, and thus information from Progsphere is not reliable, and will be reverted if added to articles on Wikipedia. Thank you. MrMoustacheMM (talk) 20:13, 6 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi,
I am writing as you've considered that the informations from my website are not reliable. First of all, we used to consider our website as a "blogzine", but our website brings interviews, reviews, special articles, news as well as other features like any other music website. Thus, we are pretty reliable source.
We are not giving any fake info and my edits are strict to the topics we write, so from that point they are reliable.
Hope this can clarify something in order to keep my "contributions" to the Wikipedia articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AstralliS (talkcontribs) 10:20, 7 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
(Talk page stalker comment) There are two concerns with adding reviews from ProgSphere. First, there is the issue of conflict of interest, specifically self promotion, in which you may benefit from inserting links to your own website. Doing it in multiple articles could be seen as spamming as well. Second, there's not a clear reason to think the website is a reliable source in the technical, Wikipedia-specific sense of the phrase. You should submit your site to the reliable sources noticeboard and get some outside opinions on whether it qualifies as a good source for citations. Hope that helps. Torchiest talkedits 15:28, 7 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
User:Torchiest is correct. I understand that your edits have been on-topic and and not "fake", but this is not enough for Wikipedia. I would recommend checking out all the links he has provided above to determine whether Progsphere is considered reliable according to Wikipedia's guidelines. MrMoustacheMM (talk) 16:09, 7 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
Hello. Feel free to read and supply commentary to this discussion concerning several review sites. Thank you. Backtable Speak to meconcerning my deeds. 01:09, 10 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
I saw that you posted on the reliable sources noticeboard. I was going to reply there, but this isn't a comment on the reliability of your site, per se. This is my concern: every single edit you've made to Wikipedia involves self-promotion. You've only made four edits that were not to articles: creating your userpage, requesting the undeletion of the article for your website, defending the use of your website as a reference, and requesting comment on using your website as a reference. Everything else is you adding links to your website to articles. Other editors won't see you as someone who is trying to build an encyclopedia so much as someone who is trying to promote his own website, which is strongly disapproved of. Can you point to anything you've done here that didn't involve adding links to your site? Torchiest talkedits 04:51, 10 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Stones Grow Her Name, you may be blocked from editing. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 14:36, 10 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

  Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Neu!, as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". And--again--please do not add external links to your own website. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 14:50, 10 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
