Deleting Venom

Information icon Hello, I'm Deb. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions because it appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Please read the guidelines before creating any further articles.Deb (talk) 11:49, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
And also, don't add personal comments in article space. You have been around long enough to know better.Deb (talk) 11:52, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I did that directly to get through to you, it obviously did not work. No evidence of notability?

Seriously Deb? Here is a google search. https://www.google.com/#sclient=psy-ab&q=Venom+truth+in+journalism&oq=Venom+truth+in+journalism&gs_l=hp.3...1091.11767.0.12089.36.26.2.8.9.0.111.1748.23j3.26.0....0...1c.1.23.psy-ab..7.29.1292.GOPDO5G6Xns&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&bvm=bv.50165853%2Cd.b2I%2Cpv.xjs.s.en_US.seW1cfrvSKg.O&fp=81bbfe24b99ff94c&biw=1600&bih=756

Can you see all the various sites reporting it? The video went on YouTube last night. I have a process, I write an article, section by section. I do a hundred small edits rather than a single big edit. See my contributions. This is my process. You have disrupted it and I won't be making the page again. I am not very social on Wikipedia, but there used to be a process here. We used to get time to fix an article. Have things changed? Will people like you immediately delete our work before we can finish it? I really do not appreciate, what you are doing.--Cube b3 (talk) 12:01, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Don't post pages before you have done the work of finding and adding reliable third-party references demonstrating notability. Then your articles won't get deleted. Deb (talk) 12:04, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Whatever happened to warning? Or taking something up on discussion?

You deleted the article a minute after it was created. It is not like it was not referenced. The primary reference from YouTube perfectly highlighted that it had been viewed 200,000 times. How about you restore the page and I will go ahead and put in a few secondary references.--Cube b3 (talk) 12:10, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Cube b3. Please keep in mind that {{Hangon}} tags are only applicable to articles that are tagged for speedy deletion, and not for WP:PROD. -SFK2 (talk) 22:46, 29 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I will be mindful of that in the future.

However could you please tell me why you reverted my edit, about BizBroker24 focusing exclusively on online brokering? I found that information by browsing the references and I thought it made the article more cohesive.--Cube b3 (talk) 01:15, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article 100TB has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable brand. Parent's notability does not give it notability

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Caffeyw (talk) 07:06, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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

Non-notable. Parent may be notable, but this brand is not. Also very close to promotional with links to reviews

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Caffeyw (talk) 07:08, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

PRODs

I would recommend putting them as a section under the main companies article (assuming there is one). These companies don't meet notability guidelines on their own, and notability is never inherited. Just remember, whatever you write in the parent companies article shouldn't sound too promotional. Caffeyw (talk) 00:32, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done :)--Cube b3 (talk) 01:28, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of UK2 Group for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article UK2 Group is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/UK2 Group until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. The Banner talk 20:04, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've noticed that you've been copying content directly from other websites. Please read WP:COPYVIO. -SFK2 (talk) 11:52, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that most of the content was already there on the page before I got involved.

Thank you for informing me. I would've taken a look and addressed them but you have gone ahead and removed everything. I did find a lot of the things in the article broader in scope and relating more to brokering than the company. I would suggest moving that information to a new page. Maybe we can create a new page focusing on Online Brokerage in general? Best Regards--Cube b3 (talk) 17:35, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Notability / UK2 / GoDaddy

Unfortunately, controversy is one of the easiest ways to gain notability. Quietly and reliably doing your job doesn't really make headlines. I share your dislike for GoDaddy, and I wish they'd just go away, but they're fairly notable. Reviews are another way to gain notability. If you have trouble establishing notability for a page that you create, the easiest way to solve it is by searching for reviews. If you can't find any reviews, it's a good bet that the topic isn't notable. It doesn't take much – just four or five should be enough. As you've seen, Wikipedia can be a bit choosy about who/what gets an article, but there are good reasons, as explained on the page. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 06:49, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi I appreciate your advice. I think it is very helpful. I hit Google and found 5 references not necessary reviews but they should help establish notability. I integrated one in the article and left the others in the talk.

Best Regards B

P.S. My website www.age-media.net and a few other domain names are still registered at GoDaddy. I will probably look into moving them when they are about to expire. I don't know it is all technical stuff that I don't really have an understanding off.--Cube b3 (talk) 17:29, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Explaining

I patrolled your page. I went through the enormously-backlogged list of newly-created pages and confirmed that your page was okay: not spam, not an attack page, not a copyright violation, not any of the other reasons for which I would delete someone's page without asking. Then I clicked "patrolled" to remove it from the list of "pages that have not yet been patrolled", and moved on to the next entry. That's all. DS (talk) 22:05, 3 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

IRiDES

2009? No.... 4 August 2013. Unless...

...ah! You screwed up the history with redirects; it was actually 2010. I'll do a history merge now.

As for making it a Featured Article: oh dear, oh dear. You have no idea what you're in for. How about you try making it a Good Article first? DS (talk) 11:27, 4 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'll look into and get back to you in a couple of months :)--Cube b3 (talk) 19:39, 4 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Can you teach me how to do a history merge?--Cube b3 (talk) 19:41, 4 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Cool Herders, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to a nonexistent page, or a redirect loop.

If you can fix this redirect to point to an existing Wikipedia page, please do so and remove the speedy deletion tag. However, please do not remove the speedy deletion tag unless you also fix the redirect. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Warning icon Hello Cube b3, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to Geo News has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

  • You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and a cited source. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
  • Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
  • Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
  • If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
  • Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied without attribution. If you want to copy from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. SMS Talk 14:55, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Half of that was a quote in inverted commas. So it had to remain as is.--Cube b3 (talk) 05:07, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dreamcast articles

There's a lot of good work to be done on Dreamcast games and Sega articles, if you're interested.

Take care czar  03:28, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

With the relevant Sega sources not being recognized it is very difficult to work on Sega pages. For example Shinobi requires clean up. I assume stuff that isn't referenced needs to be removed. All the references could probably be found on Sega-16 for that franchise however if we start discussing Sega-16 again we would essentially be going in circles.--Cube b3 (talk) 03:51, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
There is plenty of coverage from existing vetted sources, in my experience. I'd assume Sega-16 is fine for now czar  04:19, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
