User talk:All-About-Men-Store

Not only did you create a spam article about a store that you have a heavy conflict of interest with, but you overwrote an existing article.

How can I add a page about All About Men without overwriting the existing page? Also, yes I am linked to the website but I'm just here to write a short description of it, not to be any form of advertising. I didn't realise I was not permitted to include a link, i will remove it, although there must have to be a link somewhere since it is a website i'm writing a description about. Should I name the article All-About-Men.co.uk? As is done in ASOS.com's wiki page? All-About-Men-Store 13:56, 14 May 2009 (GMT)


 * You could do something as simple as All About Men (store) or All About Men (retailer), but if I can offer advice: you are permitted to put a link in, but if the only source that you have for your article on your store is your own link... your article will likely end up deleted and you'll be blocked for spamming. We need reliable 3rd party sources (newspaper listings, articles from trade magazines saying what an impressive newcomer to the online retailing scene you are), and evidence of notability (for example, being an online retailer isn't notable but being the 2nd largest online retailer behind Amazon.uk would be).  In general, we heavily advise against writing an article on anything you are associated with.  If you are notable enough, someone else will eventually create an article.  I hope that helps.
