Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings.

Proposed deletion of AfterLogic WebMail Lite


The article AfterLogic WebMail Lite has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * unremarkable product

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  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  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. RadioFan (talk) 12:29, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

August 2009
Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Because your account was used for promotion of a company, group, product or organization with a username that violated username policy as it promotes (or implies affiliation with) the aforementioned. This includes, but is not limited to: adding spam links, creating promotional pages (this includes user pages), adding advertisements to existing articles, and adding promotional/favorable content about something you are affiliated with.
 * Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Use of Wikipedia for promotion of people, products, companies or other groups (even non-commercial or charitable ones) is considered spam and is forbidden. Such actions will result in the blocking of the account involved. Please read FAQ/Organization and Conflict of interest for our policies about this.

In addition, user accounts are for individuals only, not for companies or groups or other collective editing. Your username should reflect this. Usernames that appear to be promotional (such as those that make reference to a company or product) violate our username policy and are typically blocked to enforce that policy.


 * What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

If you do intend to make useful contributions about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:


 * Add the text below this message box.
 * Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
 * Tell us what new username you want to use. Please make sure that your new username does not violate our username policy and check that it has not already been taken (click here to search).
 * 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.

If instead you believe that you have been blocked by mistake (i.e., you have not in fact been using Wikipedia for promotional purposes), please write below this message box and replace the text "Your reason here" with the reason why. See also Appealing a block for more information.

issues with your article
There are two main issues with the article. First, you probably have a conflict of interest regarding this topic. So it's probably best for you to avoid writing the article yourself, especially after it's been deleted. Second, the inclusion standards on Wikipedia are based on the existence of independent sourcing for a topic. So what you should be looking for is material published independently that talks about the company or the product in detail. But it can't just be people blogging, it needs to be in reputable publications. So it's a pretty tough standard, and there's no guarantee the other articles on similar companies are actually appropriate. Mango juice talk 15:23, 21 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia was rather more lax about these things in 2005 when @Mail was submitted; given that the article has been up 3 years and never proposed for deletion, there's no need to change things now. As I said, you have a conflict of interest.  Go WP:RA with whatever source material you can find and make a request for someone else to create a new article.  That's the best shot.  It would not be good for you to write the article yourself.  Mango juice talk 13:32, 24 August 2009 (UTC)


 * No, that's not appropriate, unless they are a seasoned Wikipedia editor who can be trusted to put Wikipedia's interests first. (I.E. you could ask me, but personally I'm not interested.)  What we need here is someone to independently judge whether the company deserves an article.  See WP:BESTCOI; it'll describe the kind of behavior you should stick to.

 * I told you already, go to WP:RA. No, I will not recommend anyone specific because all work here is done on a volunteer basis, and recommending someone would be too much like giving them an assignment.  If no one writes your article, it's probably because it doesn't really belong on Wikipedia: the point of WP:BESTCOI directing you to WP:RA is that you go through the process there and accept the outcome, in order to avoid the appearance of trying to manipulate Wikipedia for selfish interests.
