Speedy deletion nomination of Merchant Services Direct edit

 

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Merchant Services Direct, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that 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 general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of Merchant Services Direct and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Mean as custard (talk) 09:07, 4 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

April 2011 edit

  Welcome and thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test on the page Press release worked, and it has been reverted or removed. However, if you would like to experiment further, please use the sandbox instead. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. - Happysailor (Talk) 11:00, 26 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

  This is your only warning. You will be blocked from editing the next time you add inappropriate external links, as you did with this edit to Press release. - Happysailor (Talk) 11:11, 26 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

  Your addition to Press release has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. You added substantial text verbatim from http://www.hellobloggerz.com/seo/improve-press-release-seo. JamesBWatson (talk) 19:28, 26 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
