Speedy deletion nomination of Diagraph msp
A tag has been placed on Diagraph msp, 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 Diagraph msp 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. The very model of a minor general (talk) 17:47, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Re Diagraph msp
Hi Arachnerd - I wanted to let you know that I have had to delete the page you created, on Diagraph msp. I did this for two reasons:
 * It was a copyright violation of the company's website (their company history page). Wikipedia's rules do not allow us to host copyright violating material. I noticed that when you were creating the page, you mentioned that you were part of the company. Unfortunately, even if that is the case, we cannot use text copied verbatim or closely related to the company's website, unless the copyright owner donates the copyrighted material to us. This process gives Wikipedia the right to use the text, but also gives that right to pretty much anyone else to use it and modify it in the same way (as you may know, Wikipedia articles are copied all over the Internet, and re-published by many different individuals and groups).
 * It was overly promotional in tone and content. Wikipedia articles should be written in a neutral way, and should not set out to advertise the subject of the article.

If you would like to re-create the article, you are welcome to do so. Any article will need to be free from copyrighted material (unless you donate the text, as noted above), and should adhere to our guidelines on notability for companies and organisations. If the subject does not fulfill these guidelines, you might like to publish information at an alternative outlet, such as AboutUs, WikiCompany or MyWikiBiz. I have also left some links below which might be useful to you. If there's anything I can help you with, please let me know! -- &#9735;  Kateshortforbob talk &#9732;  18:48, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Arachnerd. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Arachnerd~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 22:05, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
