Speedy deletion of Coates (supercomputer)

A tag has been placed on Coates (supercomputer) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. 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.

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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.

January 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Coates (supercomputer), a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Mayalld (talk) 15:45, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Coates (supercomputer)

I have nominated Coates (supercomputer), an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Coates (supercomputer). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Your submission at Articles for creation

Carter (supercomputer), which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.
The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on the article's talk page. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

You are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. Note that because you are a logged-in user, you can create articles yourself, and don't have to post a request. However, you are more than welcome to continue submitting work to Articles for Creation.

• If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk.
• If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider .

Thank you for helping improve Wikipedia!

Steele (supercomputer)

Hi, Thanks for your hard work on the Steele (supercomputer) article - it looks like you've made the largest contribution to the excellent article!

As a heads-up, I just wanted to let you know that I formatted the bare links into citations, where I could. I also added an "inline citations" tag. I know that the hardest thing for me when I was getting started was formatting the citations, so if you'd like help with that, let me know.--CaroleHenson (talk) 23:51, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Original Barnstar
	Great work on the Steele (supercomputer) article and the recent approval of another supercomputer article! CaroleHenson (talk) 23:52, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

Rossmann (supercomputer)

Ah, I see you are a supercomputer wiz! As another heads-up. I also made some changes to the Rossmann (supercomputer) article, which definitely shows a progression in your wiki-ability! I put the sources that were not in-line citations into a Bibliography section - and linked other articles to it so that I could remove the "orphan" tag assigned by the automated browser editor. Keep up the great work!--CaroleHenson (talk) 23:57, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

September 2019

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Purdue Online, from its old location at User:Gnkline/sandbox. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. -Liance^{talk/contribs} 17:27, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

Conflict of Interest

Hello, Gnkline. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.

Draft:Purdue Online concern

Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:Purdue Online, a page you created, has not been edited in 5 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:32, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Purdue Online

Hello, Gnkline. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Purdue Online".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! Bkissin (talk) 19:18, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
