CyberDyne IP Systems edit

A tag has been placed on CyberDyne IP Systems, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable. If you can indicate why CyberDyne IP Systems is really notable, you can contest the tagging. To do this, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and leave a note on Talk:CyberDyne IP Systems, explaining how CyberDyne IP Systems is notable. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

Please read the criteria for speedy deletion (specifically, articles #7) and our general biography criteria. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.In ur base, killing ur dorfs 19:44, 20 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Seeing as both the CyberDyne IP Systems and SkyNET Telesystems articles you have written list Thomas Hitchens as their CEO, I sense a conflict of interest. There's no problem having articles about companies on Wikipedia, but only when they're notable enough that a neutral 3rd party in the press or academia has written about them already. As Elaragirl has already suggested, you must satisfy the criteria established by WP:CORP or else your articles will be deleted again. If you repost the same material without doing so, you will be blocked for disruption. If you wish to appeal their deletion, you may do so at Wikipedia:Deletion review. --  Netsnipe  ►  21:14, 20 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Would humbly request that these pages be undeleted. The content posted to them, which was in the process of being updated, is as relevant, IMO, as that of Packet8, SunRocket, et al. In that the CEO of both companies was Mr. Hitchens, we feel is no more an issue than Sir Richard Branson being a key figure of both Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Mobile. Both sites will have additional information of a more informational basis added to them if they are undeleted. We have already posted a "hangon" post to both pages. Respectfully request a speedy resolution to this matter. Sincerely.. Highlander56 16:01, 24 October 2006 (UTC)Highlander56Reply

It's too late to use hangon since the articles have been deleted already. Please file a request for review at Wikipedia:Deletion review instead. Should they overturn the deletion, I will accept their decision. --  Netsnipe  ►  16:09, 24 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

An editor has asked for a deletion review of SkyNET Telesystems and CyberDyne IP Systems. Since you closed the deletion discussion for (or speedy-deleted) this article, your reasons on how or why you did so will be greatly appreciated in the above review. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Highlander56 (talkcontribs) 21:17, October 24, 2006 (UTC)

Netsnipe, a question. If we were to repost the articles with the needed 3rd party data you spoke of, would it be allowed? Or, would we be blocked from here on out? Should I post a "here's what we propose to post" posting here, or at the SkyNET wiki page? Help would be appreciated. Thanks, Highlander56 — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Highlander56 (talkcontribs) 20:56, October 25, 2006 (UTC)

Feel free to repost, you will not be blocked since you have made an attempt at asserting notability. I do highly recommend that in any rewrite, that you try to avoid promoting the features of any specific products (unless you can assert their notability individually), and concentrate on documenting the company itself or your articles may be nominated for deletion. Thanks. --  Netsnipe   ►  21:01, 25 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

NetSnipe, I have reposted the SkyNET Telesystems page. This time, I hope it contains what will be accepted as far more notable and informative data. I have made sure that the direct information regarding SkyNET is what would seem to be of a less than advertising nature. I must add though, that pages such as those of Packet8, and others seem quite advertising in nature. Please look over the page and if you feel it needs "massaging" please let me know. I will make updates, if necessary. Kind regards. Highlander56 15:49, 27 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Packet8 is now tagged for deletion. OK, you're still making the mistake as before, you're concentrating on your products and not the company. For example, you're reexplaining how VoIP works and its advantages, when such information is already covered in the VoIP article itself. Take a look at AT&T, Qwest and Verizon Communications are written. You're still not providing 3rd party references to assert notability. Your link to the FCC adds no value to the article as a reference on your company. Are there any newspaper or magazine articles that you can link to which document how your company has developed? PS: Please don't create a new section on my talk page for each question/message – just edit the pre-existing section. Thanks. --  Netsnipe  ►  16:17, 27 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Is there someway to just have the page suspended or such for now, instead of being deleted? If the links to newspaper or magazine articles were included, would the rest of the page be able to stand on it's own merits, or does it still need a re-write? Highlander56 16:26, 27 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

I've undeleted your articles to your personal space at User:Highlander56/SkyNET Telesystems and [[ User:Highlander56/CyberDyne IP Systems so you can continue to improve them there. Once up to standard, you can move it back out to the main encyclopedia. Once you include the links to newspaper or magazine articles and remove the duplicated information that is already covered in VoIP, then the background information on your company can stand. I must also commend you for being so patient and understanding in trying to improve your article. --  Netsnipe  ►  16:34, 27 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

License tagging for Image:Webpnl2.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Webpnl2.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 18:15, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

User:Highlander56/CyberDyne IP Systems edit

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article User:Highlander56/CyberDyne IP Systems, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest 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 [[Talk:User:Highlander56/CyberDyne IP Systems|its talk page]]. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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.
