Disk Track

edit

A tag has been placed on Disk Track, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. aJCfreak yAkBAk 16:47, 16 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Superfluous articles

Hi. You've created loads of very short articles (apparently sourced from IBM technical manuals) for trivia related to hard disk drives. It's probable that many if these will be deleted in accordance with Wikipedia's policies. Please consider adding future information to existent articles on similar subjects before creating new stubs. Thisprovides more insurance that such information will be kept on Wikipedia and improved in future edits. Thanks. Chris Cunningham 20:20, 19 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
