Welcome

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Your recent request at Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Redirects, unfortunately, had to be removed. That page is for requesting WP:REDIRECTS only. If you want to write an article, you are a registered user, so you do not have to use the Articles for Creation process. However, please be sure to hit the preview button before saving your new article, as the formatting that was included in your recent edit was problematic- it caused my browser to crash. In a moment, I will leave a menu of links here that will answer many common questions about Wikipedia. For any other concerns, please feel free to ask at my talk page.

Speedy deletion of Infotech Enterprises

Hello Mariah 2010, this is a message from an automated bot to inform you that the page you created, Infotech Enterprises, has been marked for speedy deletion by User:Orangemike. This has been done because the page seems to be about a person, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant (see CSD). If you think the tag was placed in error, please add "{{hangon}}" to the page text, and edit the talk page to explain why the page should not be deleted. If you have a question about this bot, please ask it at User talk:SDPatrolBot II. If you have a question for the user who tagged the article, see User talk:Orangemike. Thanks, - SDPatrolBot II (talk) on behalf of Orangemike (talk · contribs) 17:40, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Spamming is not permitted here

Please stop. If you continue to add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Infotech Enterprises, you will be blocked from editing. --Orange Mike | Talk 13:39, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Infotech Enterprises

A tag has been placed on Infotech Enterprises 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. ukexpat (talk) 16:32, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

I noticed that you have recently created an article which has been proposed for speedy deletion. Things can move very fast here at Wikipedia. To have more time to develop your article without having to fight a simultaneous battle to keep it from being deleted, consider developing it in a drafting page set up as a subpage of your user page instead of creating it a "real" article. If you would like some instructions on how to do that, click "Show" at the end of the next line. How to Use A Drafting Page for Article Creation If you want to be able to draft an article without being bothered by other users trying to improve or delete your page, do it in a drafting page set up as a subpage of your user page. Here's how: Edit your user page (not the article page, the article talk page, or your user talk page). Somewhere on your user page create a link to your drafting page like this: [[/<articlename>]|Draft of <articlename>]] Replace <articlename>, including the brackets, with the name of your article. You don't have to include "Draft of" after the | if you don't want to do so, but it can be a useful reminder. Save your user page. You will now find a red link on your user page which says "Draft of <articlename>". Click on it. A page that will come up which says, "Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name" and has a link that says, "Start the <articlename> article." Click that link. Start editing your article in the editing page that comes up. Do not add category links to your draft unless you put nowiki tags around each one to deactivate it (for example:<nowiki>[[Category:Widgets]]</nowiki>); putting live category links on a draft article violates Wikipedia policy. When you're finished, save it. You've created your drafting page and you can go back and edit it as often as you like. Your article will not be indexed in Wikipedia's article index so long as it is kept as a drafting page, so when you think that it's ready for scrutiny by other editors, you can create a new article page and simply copy the code from your drafting page into its edit form. Once you've done that, please delete your drafting page by adding a {{db-userreq}} tag at the very top, saving it, and then deleting the drafting page link off of your user page. A word of warning: just because a drafting page is in your user space doesn't mean that you can put text, images, or other material on it which is, or may be, a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policy, which is unsourced negative information about a living person, or which attacks, defames, or threatens a living person. That kind of stuff can be deleted immediately, without warning, anywhere it is found and can get you in trouble with the community, too. Finally a couple of words of friendly advice: First, I've tried several times to write a better introduction to editing than can be found at the Article Wizard and Your First Article and I can't. Don't be tempted to skip past sections of either one. Read them all, they're full of solid gold information, and take them to heart. Second, if you've not done so already, you need to immediately read the Notability, Verifiability, No original research, and What Wikipedia is not policies from beginning to end. Without a working knowledge of those policies it can be very frustrating to try to write an article that won't be deleted or heavily edited. Finally, if you are thinking that your article will be safe here because there are other articles just like it already on Wikipedia, don't bet on it. Those other articles may be just as much at risk of deletion as yours may be, but no one has happened to notice or bother with them yet. Best wishes, thanks again, and good luck with your drafting. — TRANSPORTERMAN (TALK) 20:04, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Small logo copy.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Small logo copy.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

PLEASE NOTE:

• I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions.
• I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
• If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
• To opt out of these bot messages, add {{bots|deny=DASHBot}} to your talk page.
• If you believe the bot has made an error, please turn it off here and leave a message on my owner's talk page.

Thank you. DASHBot (talk) 03:05, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
