Ajax Basic

It's clear from your contributions that your reason for being here is to promote your product. It makes no difference that "Ajax Basic" is a "non-commercial" package. Wikipedia requires that articles are about "notable" people/places/companies etc. If Ajax Basic was notable, other people would be writing about it. There are literally hundreds of implementations of BASIC - I've even written a couple myself - but wikipedia policies such as WP:CORP, Wikipedia:Notability (software) and WP:Vanity apply.

Regardin your comments on my talk page, I'm sorry but I feel your missing the point about what Wikipedia is - and also, you could note that I don't make the policies of Wikipedia - those are worked out by the Wikipedia community.

"I don't know why our product is not better then QBasic.. except the fact that People know about Qbasic,.. but not know about Ajax Basic.."

Your product may well prove to be better than QBasic...I would expect that a product developed some 15 to 20 years later may have some improvements...however, the Wikipedia policies I mentioned above are quite clear that a product becomes notable and deserving of an article after people "know about it", in your words. Wikipedia can't be used to inform people of every software package etc. etc. that comes up...thousands upon thousands of these are developed every day.

"It's not better to talk about KNOWN things... It's BETTER to talk, write and discuss new things.."

I wouldn't say I disagree with this sentiment...however, there are many many forums and sites on the web were new ideas can be discussed. Wikipedia isn't that place. For example, there may be a musical group formed who are all immensely talented - but they only get an article on Wikipedia once they start to gain some recognition, say, get a record contract, sell some records - Wikipedia isn't used to tell people about unknown music groups, products, persons etc.

You should also note your opinion is just as valid as mine on Wikipedia. I have no special powers to keep anything out of the site. You should go to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ajax Basic and make your case there. Camillus (talk) 22:39, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Basic.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Basic.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:32, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
