Your submission at Articles for creation edit
Thank you for submitting an article to Wikipedia. Your submission has been reviewed and has been put on hold pending clarification or improvements from you or other editors. Please take a look and respond if possible. You can find it at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Shortcuts.com. If there is no response within twenty-four hours the request may be declined; if this happens feel free to continue to work on the article. You can resubmit it (by adding the text {{subst:AFC submission/submit}} to the top of the article) when you believe the concerns have been addressed. Thank you.

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 Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Shortcuts.com requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. 2 says you, says two 21:24, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
Welcome! edit
Hello, Ferhamirdawi, 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 may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

- I have replied to your message on your talk page, but as the reply contains some links that may be useful to you, I will copy it here.
- Just asserting authorship is not enough, because (a) we have no way to be sure you are who you say, and (b) release to Wikipedia involves more than just permission to reproduce, and the copyright holder has to understand and agree to the license terms. What you need to do is described at WP:Donating copyrighted materials; the simplest way is to display on the source web-site the form of words given in the paragraph headed "Granting us permission to copy material already online".
- However, it is clear that you are writing about your employer's product, which means that, from our point of view, you have a WP:Conflict of interest. Please read that guideline, and also WP:Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest. Wikipedia is not to be used for promotion, and is very sensitive to that danger. In summary, you should not post an article yourself, but submit it at WP:Articles for creation, declaring your interest when you do, so that other editors can decide whether it is suitable.
