Welcome!

Hello, Pöffihunt, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as "Books To Films", may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. 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! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Speedy deletion nomination of "Books To Films"

edit
 

A tag has been placed on "Books To Films" requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Proposed deletion of Black Market Industry Screenings

edit
 

The article Black Market Industry Screenings has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The notability of the subject is dubious and the content would be more suitable under the PÖFF article.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Quibik (talk) 20:55, 30 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

Conflict of interests warning

edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

  1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
  2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
  3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. —Quibik (talk) 20:58, 30 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

Welcome!

edit

Aside from the (templated) warning/cautioning above, what I really wanted to say is: welcome to Wikipedia! Don't let the warning discourage you: you are more than welcome to expand the PÖFF-related articles, provided they are properly sourced, verifiable and neutral, both in the selection of content and wording. At the moment your additions have strong issues with all of these – the content reads more like an advertisement than an encyclopedia article. I'd also suggest that you first concentrate on the main PÖFF article before creating any sub-articles. If you feel that the sub-topics warrant a separate article, then please check and follow the notability requirements first. I will be eager to help out with expanding and improving the article, if you are willing to accept and follow these few general guidelines. So, don't hesitate to ask for help either, if need be. You might also like to take a look at Wikipedia:The perfect article for inspiration and insight. Happy editing! —Quibik (talk) 21:18, 30 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
