What't the URL of my sitemap??

With the "Extension:Google Sitemap" the URL I have to give Google for my sitemap is "http://www.pop-cult.net/Wikitainment/sitemap.xml", but what if I want to use the default sitemap that my mediawiki has?

Btw, is there a way for either of those sitemaps to list more than 500 articles?

I also hate that the "Extension:Google Sitemap" is listing categories and user pages, I only want it to list the regular articles.

Thanks beforehand--20-dude (talk) 01:43, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Well, the generateSitemap Skript can have more than 500 articles. But there are all namespaces listed. But the namespaces other then the main have a lower priotity, so the regular articles are listed and crawled faste then the other. I think the best way to prevent Google from crawling userpages and categories is through robots.txt or so, even when it makes no sence for me. --DaSch (talk) 21:25, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Framepool

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 Framepool 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 an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Fiddle Faddle 10:22, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

I suggest you copy it to your userspace yourself. There is no bar to recreating it if you can assert its notability. Fiddle Faddle 10:46, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

Does maybe the list of notable films the company was involved in prove notability? [1] --DaSch (talk) 10:49, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

IMDB is not viewed as a reliabel source because it is edited, as is Wikipedia, by ordinary members of the public. IN the same way, Wikipedia itself is not a reliable source. I suggest you work in your sandbox until the article is ready. Most experienced editors do just that. It takes a lot of experience to make a new article stick first time around in main namespace. Fiddle Faddle 10:49, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

Well the problem is, that verifying it would need to post copyrighted film/video or Magazins that are only available offline :/ --DaSch (talk) 10:53, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

Offline references are absolutely fine. Read up on WP:CITE and the essay I posted in the next thread down. Fiddle Faddle 10:55, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

thx :) I moved the page and will try to add what is needed. --DaSch (talk) 10:56, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

Excellent. Now take your time. There is absolutely no rush. Read the essay, and work quietly and patiently. And produce an article that will survive all challenges :) Fiddle Faddle 10:58, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

To encourage you

Please do not be disheartened, and absolutely do not take a deletion proposal personally. We have to keep standards high. Tp give you some guidance, guidance you may not need, have a look at this essay, though do copy Framepool to your sandbox first!. I'm happy to do my best to answer questions if you find anything less clear than it might be. Fiddle Faddle 10:53, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
