Welcome!

Hello, Mbendler, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like Tabulus, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of Tabulus

A tag has been placed on Tabulus, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous 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 Wikipedia:FAQ/Business 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 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.

Removing Speedy at Tabulus

Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles you created, as you did with Tabulus. If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please do the following:

1. Place {{hangon}} on the page. Please do not remove any existing speedy deletion tag(s).
2. Make your case on the article's talk page.

Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 15:28, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi there Mbendler! I saw that you added a {{hangon}} tag to a page which you created, Tabulus. This is good, but in the process you removed the tag requesting deletion under CSD G11. Even though there is a hangon on the page, the deletion template should remain there. But don't worry, this doesn't mean that the page is going to get deleted. Make sure you edit the talk page of the page nominated for deletion, located at Talk:Tabulus, administrators will look at your reason why the page should remain before they decide what to do. Thanks - SDPatrolBot (talk) 15:39, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

(Reply to:) Removing Speedy at TABULUS

I removed the tag before I saw this message. I thought it was an error that showed up.

What am I supposed to put to talk about a software program and what it does.
There is a listing for a product called "Quantrix" that looks almost identical. As a matter
of fact theirs has a note saying they have more reference information then the article is long.
Please let me know what I need to change so this can stay listed. There are also other programs
listed like the entire suite of programs by AutoDesk called AutoCAD.

• What you have to show is that the software in notable enough to be worth an article in an encyclopedia. The best way to establish notability is by means of references from reliable sources which are independent of the subject. In regard to other articles, please see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS.

Speedy deletion nomination of Diehl technology llc

A tag has been placed on Diehl technology llc requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. JohnCD (talk) 17:35, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not an advertising service or business listing directory. Please read the guideline on Conflict of Interest and the FAQ/Organizations before you write about your own product or organization. JohnCD (talk) 17:39, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 17:46, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Your question

You can put {{underconstruction}} - two curly brackets each side - at the head of the article, which will protect it for a few days; or you can build it in a user page - type, for instance, "User:MBendler/Sandbox" in the search box and click "Go" to create the page, and then click "Start the page" on the next screen. Then when it is complete you can move into the article space. But before you put much effort into it, please consider that Wikipedia is not here to promote your company and its software: for a company to have an article it must meet the notability criteria of WP:ORG. The fact that Procter and Gamble or Microsoft have articles does not imply that your 2008 startup is entitled to one. Also, people are strongly discouraged from writing about themselves or their own organizations, because of the conflict of interest involved. For more advice, read carefully the FAQ/Organizations, in particular the sections headed:

• Why doesn't Wikipedia have an article on my organization?
• I think my organization deserves an article on Wikipedia but none exists. What can I do?

Editing with a Conflict of Interest

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. Smashville^talk 18:30, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to add promotional material to Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. --Smashville^talk 20:49, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
The next time you use Wikipedia for advertising, you will be blocked from editing. Right now you are showing no desire to actually work within Wikipedia guidelines. --Smashville^talk 20:54, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Delete and threats

Hi Smash...I have followed every rule you set for Wikipedia. I added a spreadsheet program that was not listed under spreadsheet programs. How is this in violation of the Wikipedia rules? --Mbendler 20:58, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

No you have not Read Smashville's comments above and quit harassing him --Notedgrant (talk) 21:25, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
