Welcome!
Hello, Vtheater, 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, like David Saxe, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.
You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard. Thank you.
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:
- Your first article
- Biographies of living persons
- How to write a great article
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Help pages
- Tutorial
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡbomb 21:28, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
The article David Saxe has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Unreferenced BLP. GHits/GNews reveal at best very trivial coverage (quotes attributed to Saxe) in a couple of reliable publications, no actual coverage. Written like a promotional bio.
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. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡbomb 21:28, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
- Believe I agree with your decline of my PROD, based on the additional sources you have added. I'm going to take a crack at cleaning the article up in a few places, where it occasionally reads a bit too much like an autobiography (ie doesn't have a proper encyclopedia tone). I've also added an infobox. Nice job on the sourcing! ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡbomb 23:52, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
- I've taken a stab at improving the article to bring it in line with Wiki's manual of style for biographies. I also removed or altered a few lines or sections which felt unencyclopedic (things like "he has a born talent for..." "he is a natural at..." etc....are replaced by simply asserting the facts as-is). Take a look and let me know what you think -- hope this helps! ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡbomb 00:10, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
Username blocked edit
Why can't I edit Wikipedia?
Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.
- Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?
Probably not. See Wikipedia:FAQ/Organization for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
- What can I do now?
You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
- Add the text
{{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}}below this message box. - Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
- Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
- Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
- Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.
