Proposed deletion of Smart delay edit

 

The article Smart delay has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:NEO. I cannot find any sources to support notability of this neologism.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Singularity42 (talk) 15:41, 25 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

November 2012 edit

  Hello, ExcessPhase. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may need to consider our guidance on conflicts 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. 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.

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

  • Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
  • Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
  • Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
  • Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself 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. MrOllie (talk) 17:55, 7 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 18:01, 7 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

"Phobie" edit

No such word in English. I believe you mean phobia. Though that's a hyperbolic term to use for the phenomenon you're describing and isn't appropriate to an encyclopedic tone. —chaos5023 (talk) 18:02, 7 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did with this edit to C++. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. GorillaWarfare (talk) 18:03, 7 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

I think in the future I'll make my contributions unsigned so that they cannot be associated with each other and removed because of association. My last signature: ExcessPhase (talk) 19:38, 7 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

For the record, your contributions are still attributed to your account (in the page history). GorillaWarfare (talk) 20:58, 7 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

In the future I'll make my future contributions unsigned so that they cannot be removed just because I created them... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.73.228.23 (talk) 21:02, 7 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

The point GW was making is that all your edits are accountable to you whether or not you choose to sign them. Refusing to sign accomplishes nothing but low-grade harassment of other editors. I will further make the point that if you make good edits, nobody will revert them because they came from you. —chaos5023 (talk) 21:13, 7 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
