September 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. The project's content policies require that all articles be written from a neutral point of view, and not introduce bias or give undue weight to viewpoints. Please bear this in mind when making edits such as your recent edit to Template:Software Engineering. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.  Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 00:19, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Method engineering

Hi Donald.

I already explained in the edit summary, see here that I removed the

• Donald Firesmith et al. (2008) The Method Framework for Engineering System Architectures. Auerbach Publications. ISBN 978-1-4200-8575-4

For the reason: Removed book about just one specific so called MFESA method and not method engineering in general

In Wikipedia if an reasonable argument like this is given, it is not done to put the book back without given a good reason. Even so, it is better not to put the book back but start a discussion on the talkpage.

We (other editors) are here to help, even if we put uo tags and removed things you just added. In the end you will find other ways. But just putting things back is not the way.

Hi again. I guess I cleared most of the issues with both articles. I think both contain to much original research and I wouldn't add more of that. Please keep in mind Wikipedia:No original research. Good luck. -- Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 11:28, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Donald Firesmith

You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, as you did at Donald Firesmith. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you.  Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 18:25, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 28

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Shift left testing, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Agile. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:58, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Method Framework for Engineering System Architectures

The article Method Framework for Engineering System Architectures has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Only sourcing found is author's own work. Low citations. No evidence this is a notable framework.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. StarM 15:14, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
