Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Manual of Style
- Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia
- Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
- Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
- No edit warring or sock puppetry.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
- Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.
The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!
Speedy deletion nomination of Alteryx
editHello K8fr0st,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Alteryx for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Ishdarian 05:12, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
- Hi K8fr0st. So, the article reads as very promotional right now. I took a deeper look after I got your message and I noticed that a lot of the material is either copied word for word or slightly modified from the referenced works. You did a great job providing your sources, however, you need to abide by our copyrights policy. A great essay to read about this is at WP:Plagiarism. I saw you've created a few articles in the past, but it's been a while since you've edited. I'd suggest taking a look at WP:FIRST, which is a guide to creating your first article, but it also gives great pointers for everyone to follow along with. My suggestion if you want to rebuild the article would be to create it in your sandbox first. You can take your time to work on it and, if you like, I could give you a hand. If you have any more questions, leave them here on your page. I'll be keeping an eye out :) Ishdarian 05:35, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
