Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, AnatolyVilchinsky! I have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on or by typing helpme at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on, or place helpme on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! Calaka (talk) 13:48, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Hey there. Well as it stands no one has placed it up for deletion but people generally want references to back up what you are saying. I mean how do you know all that information? You must have gotten it from somewhere? Or perhaps from multiple places. If so, place all of the references and sources at the bottom. Furthermore, if you want more info the links above are very good for getting you into Wikipedia. Also you might be interested in checking out: WP:COMPUTING and maybe someone can help you there to improve the article. Kind regards.Calaka (talk) 14:26, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Your recent edits on Virtual tape library
Hi. I backed out your recent changes to that article since they seemed to be unsupported promotion of StarWind Software. Wikipedia is not a forum for advertising or promoting a product. I also removed the unsupported claim about FalconStor's market share, but left the sourced claim about it being the basis for half of the products in the sector. If you'd like to improve this article, and I agree that it needs a lot of help, the improvements need to be neutral and well sourced from reliable third-party sources.

The same problem applies to Comparison of iSCSI targets and I will be nominating that article for deletion. A company's product comparison guide is not a reliable source, nor is that private IT SE website. Beyond that, though, the content seems to only be advertising the features of StarWind Software vs a small selection of other products. That makes it spam and not suitable for an article in Wikipedia. Regards, Celestra (talk) 15:46, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Comparison of iSCSI targets


A tag has been placed on Comparison of iSCSI targets, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that 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 the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of Comparison of iSCSI targets and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Celestra (talk) 15:59, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Apparent conflict of interest
If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about, 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 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 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 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 conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Kbrose (talk) 14:07, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
