You do not deserve a reply to your email because a) you gave no links and b) you are advertising. However ...

No you cannot "hot-link" an external image into a Wikipedia page. Why don't you:

  • reduce the image to no more than 400 pixels wide - the version you uploaded was 4708×1217 px which is far too large
  • upload it again
  • apply a fair-use licence tag - see logos of similar organisations
  • read the image description after the upload. If you had actually read the image description of your previous upload, you would have seen that you had uploaded the image with a deletion request already in place - see the standard message below.

You claim: "I've contributed to about a dozen wikipedia entries on music and technology". I don't see them: special:contributions/Adammetz. -- RHaworth 17:44, 11 October 2007 (UTC) Have a look at the Hot Hot Heat and Luke Paquin articles, edited from my home IP address.

Speedy deletion of Daptiv

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Daptiv requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.

Proposed deletion of Daptiv

edit
 

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

Non-notable business making non-consumer products. References supplied are to category listings on the Gartner's investment site, or inclusions on lists of similar products at the Wall Street Journal. This is not enough to confer notability on this business. Article itself is advertising and non-neutral, referring to its products as "solutions".

While all 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 {{dated prod}} 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 {{dated prod}} 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.
