Notability of Resource controller

Hi. I'm the person that notability tagged the Resource controller article. There's nothing there that proves the software is anything special. Some good starting points would be the guidelines on notability and how to provide citations. You're going to need to show that it's well used and well regarded; features on the software on well regarded websites, major websites using the software and so on; but as it stands it simply looks like "another" third party library. If you have any questions you can reply here or on my talk page. --Blowdart | ^talk 14:55, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Hmmm, I guess I will have to understand how notability works with wiki. SHould I delete this article too, coz I am unable to understand the best way of writing this article...may be I will research it and then come back again? There does not seem to be another way of hanging on with some content as of now. Marvindanig (talk) 15:07, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

That's probably best; as it stands it would get deleted anyway, but if you blank it and replace the contents with {{db-blank}} it will indicate you did it on purchase. If you look at the welcome message above there's a few good resources there on how to write an article. If you want any more specific help then feel free to shout; the community does appreciate the time and effort everyone puts into adding articles! --Blowdart | ^talk 15:09, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

For now I will remove it as I am tired. I have saved the content for tomorrow. But my idea is to write about "application starters" for "ruby programmers". Writing about it will make a ruby developer's life easier as it will show the readers the benefits of using a skeletal open source software as against starting things from scratch. I hope you're understanding what I mean. Even in James Golick article I wrote about such open source skeletal softwares. Marvindanig (talk) 15:15, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Appstarter

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Appstarter, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Social suggestion box

Please cut back on the uncited claims and the marketing speak; for example

Companies deploy it for innovation in their products or services through crowdsourcing or to boost their brand association both of which are a major expense heads for organizations.

Without some proof of that you simply can't add it; it's either marketing or original research. The same with claiming it's web 2.0; that's a meaningless assertion with citations.

Thanks --Blowdart | ^talk 18:16, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi Blowdart! I have quoted Dell & Starbucks as a proof of Companies deploy it for innovation in their products or services through crowdsourcing or to boost their brand association both of which are a major expense heads for organizations..

Quoting collaborationblog Cast >> Web 2.0, ... "Capture Customer Ideas and React

Dell released IdeaStorm, a customer suggestion site, to capture customer ideas and to leverage the community to vote on the most important ideas. IdeaStorm has taken in 9,000 ideas, recorded 600,000 visitor votes, and implemented 120 suggestions. One of those suggestions was a Linux-based laptop that was developed in large part to customer responses.

Dell still has a long way to go. 21% of their customers still post negative comments about Dell, but compared to where Dell was several years ago, this is a significant improvement.

Companies such as Dell, Daimler Chrysler, Sony, and Coke have all learned the hard way that Blogs and User Generated Content can really hurt a brand and sales. Like Dell, companies need to open up communication with customers to quickly resolve customer issues, ensure that the full truth is being told, and to prevent potential PR nightmares... "

Please advise why I should not place the content as I had put it earlier on the article?

Thanks, marvin

Speedy deletion of Appstarter

A tag has been placed on Appstarter, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.

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 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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Alexius08 is welcome to talk about his contributions. 10:02, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

September 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Social suggestion box, did not appear to be constructive and has been removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Stop removing tags when you haven't fixed the problems. The article is orphaned, it has no references and you keep making claims with no proof to back them up. Blowdart | ^talk 10:10, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Blowdart your deletions are not constructive (please don't get offended) like you questioned inclusion of 'web 2.0' instead of 'web'? That's strange! A social suggestion box is built on a premise of web 2.0!! Otherwise what is the difference between an "online suggestion box" and a "social suggestion box"? Secondly the article has been edited unwarrantedly to reach an "orphan state" and the necessary linking to the other definitions of interest are also removed by you.

Thirdly, read the necessary quotation I wrote on discussion above where I have quoted an article on how companies deploy a social suggestion box. Proof submitted before editing the article so your claim " Stop removing tags when you haven't fixed the problems. The article is orphaned, it has no references and you keep making claims with no proof to back them up. is wrong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Marvindanig (talk • contribs) 10:26, 25 September 2008

OK lets deal with these one at a time; but please, remember to sign your comments on talk pages, thanks.

You offer no evidence that social suggestion boxes are a web 2.0 technology; in order to do so you'll need to provide some citations from reliable sources. The burden is on you to prove your claims; you simply cannot add it and expect them to be unchallenged. You were already told this on the article talk page, but keep adding back claims without any proof they are verifiable. Simply calling something "social" does not make it new in any way, indeed there is little to no difference between what you claim is new and an online suggestion box to my mind.

The article is an orphaned article; this means little or no other wikipedia pages link to it. This is correct; you can see this by clicking what links here on the page; you will see there are no links from main articles at all; hence it is orphaned; removing the tag is vandalism in wikipedia terms. The edits I made did not change this in any way.

Thanks, --Blowdart | ^talk 16:22, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Social suggestion box

I have nominated Social suggestion box, an article you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Social suggestion box. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. -- Mark Chovain 05:08, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Delete it ... that's why wikipdeia sucks. Bye.

Wikipedia its own enemy

A tag has been placed on Wikipedia its own enemy, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing no content to the reader. Please note that external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article don't count as content. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.
