Speedy deletion of The Day School at Baltimore Hebrew
A tag has been placed on The Day School at Baltimore Hebrew, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Business' FAQ for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (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. themcman1 talk 17:33, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from pages that you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, then please place  on the page (please do not remove any existing speedy deletion tag) and make your case on the page's. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. -- Orange Mike  |  Talk  19:05, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Articles: suggestions
Our guidelines discourage, in the strongest possible terms, creating articles about organizations, companies or persons with whom you are involved. If an institution is genuinely notable, somebody will find enough impartial information on it to create an article. See, for example, the article on the Spence School: created by an editor with no connection to that school (indeed, with rather an antipathy to the class of people who send their children to such schools), but put together out of impartial, reliable sources and continuously improved by other editors. -- Orange Mike  |  Talk  19:11, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of The Day School at Baltimore Hebrew
A tag has been placed on The Day School at Baltimore Hebrew 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 a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance 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 companies and corporations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (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.

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 from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing 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;
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam);
 * and you must always:
 * 1) avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see Business' FAQ. For more details about what constitutes a conflict of interest, please see Conflict of Interest. -- Orange Mike  |  Talk  19:34, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Your edits
I fear you've sabotaged this article, probably with the best of intentions. First, without explanation you removed the wikilinks to topics such as day schools and Reform Judaism and the stub tag (the latter a "please help improve this article" signal); not to mention deleting an explanation of where the school is!

Then, you added inappropriate, peacock word-laden pieties about what the school teaches. Our goal here is impartiality: neither bragging nor ragging. If (as I suspect) you are a parent, alumnus or staffer of the school, this is exactly the reason why we discourage editing by folks who (again, with the best of intentions) cannot be impartial about the subject matter. Nobody here is hostile to the school; but you've got to be prepared to make your case in the face of a healthy scepticism. (If it's any consolation: when I was new to this project, I wrote a few articles which may be deleted the first time somebody looks at them.)-- Orange Mike  |  Talk  19:49, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Signature
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! -- Orange Mike  |  Talk  19:53, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

I definitely did not mean to delete them - I am a 100% novice at the "Wikipedia Page editing game". I have replaced all content with "blanked by author; will be recreated with proper sources later" - I hope this is sufficient until I can meet the guidelines.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Dsbh3.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Dsbh3.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 20:20, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
