Secure USB flash drives seem to be an interesting topic. However, as someone else already remarked, it reads like an essay or magazine article where you try to provide arguments to convince the reader. Maybe you took these arguments from publications. You provide a number of references, but it is not clear which reference makes what argument, and which arguments are your own opinion. The easiest way to deal with it is to use something like <ref>[http://example.com/ Title of web page]</ref> directly after each statement. Moreover, the article should start with a short definition of what a secure USB drive is, rather than with an argument, and this short definition can be worked out later in the article.

P.S. And add {{reflist}} at the end of the article. Han-Kwang (t) 08:04, 25 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Uk insolvency helpline

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Uk insolvency helpline, 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.

Copied?

edit

This page, now moved to UK Insolvency Helpline, also looks to have been copied (with a few minor changes) from http://www.insolvencyhelpline.co.uk/company-info/ih-introduction.php Do you have permission from the person who owns the copyright? In the meantime, I have tagged it again for speedy deletion.

I am concerned that your first new page, USB flash drive security, also seems to be copied wholesale from this PDF, although the page has now been substantially rewritten. Please don't just copy someone else's material.

Similarly, Polyjet matrix bears a strong resemblence to this, and the section that you added to Reshafim seems to be closely based on this website, although there are also more differences than the two above. -- Testing times (talk) 18:47, 22 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Also, adding external links and creating new articles are not minor edits. Do not mark them so. Mannafredo (talk) 08:47, 12 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
