Welcome

Hello, Varunbredge, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been reverted for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of deletion, you might like to draft your article before submission, then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. To start creating a draft article, just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit that page as you would any other. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

The one firm rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. It is also worth noting that Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which specifically link them to one company or corporation. If your username does have such a name, it would be advisable for you to request a change of username.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! You can also just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• Tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Cind.amuse 09:42, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Hello Cindamuse,

1. Please review/edit the page http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poodle_Recruiter 2. It is true indeed, I represent the company that makes the software described on this page. Please advice on the possible references/ sources I can quote to improve the authenticity/neutrality of the content. 3. I do not have too many edits. My username violates the wiki-policy as I note now, since it contains the name of the company I represent - 'Bredge'. Please advice on what happens to the already created page if I create a new account. 4. You have renamed 'History' to 'Corporate History'. May I request a reconsideration? The content talks only about the history of the product. Thanks much! Varun. Varunbredge (talk) 10:09, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

• Hi Varun, first off, welcome to Wikipedia! I will certainly look at the article. I can't offer you any suggestions on possible references that are available, other than to mention newspaper, magazine, journal articles or similar publications. I will try to do a search and add any sources that I can find to the article. As far as the article and changing your username, nothing will happen to the created article. It will still be there, so don't worry. It's up to you with changing your username. I didn't flag your account to require a name change. For all I know, Bredge could be your last name, which is allowable. And as far as "History" or "Corporate History", I guess I should have put "Product history"? Sorry about that. I will look over the article for the basic formatting/proofreading stuff to comply with Wikipedia policies and guidelines, but honestly, I know very little about computers and software, so I'll leave that up to you, okay? Let me know if you have any questions as you navigate through Wikipedia. And don't forget to have fun! Best regards, Cind.amuse 10:48, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
  • Okay, I ran a quick copyedit. I restructured a bit, as well. I looked through google, but couldn't find any sources to add to the article. Although I found your Facebook, I don't think that will help. LOL Do you have any reviews of the software? Cind.amuse 11:19, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
    • Thanks for your efforts Cind.amuse. With my question, I meant to ask for the type of references required to establish objectivity/neutrality. Your earlier comment answers it. I've a bunch of journal articles, whitepapers, etc. I'll list them along with appropriate in-line links. Thank you again! - Varun. PS. Yep, FB won't help much ;-) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.167.90.108 (talk) 14:15, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Poodle Recruiter

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Poodle Recruiter, 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 and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. VQuakr (talk) 04:55, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
