Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" is strongly discouraged. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. --CliffC (talk) 02:37, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for advertising or promotion. --CliffC (talk) 04:27, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of The National Women's Studies Association
A tag has been placed on The National Women's Studies Association 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 an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles 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 organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

The National Association of Women Lawyers
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of The National Association of Women Lawyers, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.nawl.org. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 21:38, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Women Lawyers Association of Los Angeles
A tag has been placed on Women Lawyers Association of Los Angeles, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous 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 the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

Speedy Deletions
Hi, AugustWind! Just wanted to drop by and leave a note since you had a couple article stubs run through the Speedy Deletion process.

I suspect the articles you wanted to create are notable subjects, and probably deserve articles. The ones you created, though, seem to be very short, and don't indicate in them any reason for notability.

Some suggestions? Take a look at Creating an article in UserSpace for some guidelines on creating an article in your own space. When the article has some content and is more fleshed out, you can then move it into ArticleSpace.

You may also be interested in the WikiProject Gender Studies - a WikiProject dedicated to improving articles on gender.

Hope that helps! -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 03:18, 3 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Not a problem - glad to help! Two other bits of advice... You can sign your posts (on talk pages, not on articles) by putting four tildes together - like ~ .  That adds your signature and the time/date, which is helpful.  The other thing is that, if you ever need help, you can get it by adding a section here on your talkpage along with the magic code "  ".  Take a look at this page for more info: helpme
 * Happy editing! -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 04:27, 3 February 2010 (UTC)


 * I tagged several of the deleted articles. The articles were deleted because they showed no credible evidence that their subjects were notable; mere existence does not qualify a group for inclusion. If you can find non-trivial coverage of the groups in reliable sources then they most likely qualify. You may find the category Category:Women's_occupational_organizations useful for identifyng other articles to link to from your article Women's Associations. Be careful about WP:OR, WP:SYN and WP:V: your lead in that article makes some assertions about such groups without any supporting justification. I42 (talk) 13:34, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Napw.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Napw.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 23:51, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Deletion discussion of The National Association of Professional Women
See Articles_for_deletion/Log/2010_April_29. --Enric Naval (talk) 15:50, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

AfD nomination of The National Association of Professional Women
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is The National Association of Professional Women. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Articles for deletion/The National Association of Professional Women. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:05, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Napw.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Napw.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

PLEASE NOTE:


 * I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions.
 * I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
 * If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
 * To opt out of these bot messages, add  to your talk page.
 * If you believe the bot has made an error, please turn it off here and leave a message on my owner's talk page.

Thank you. DASHBot (talk) 03:51, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

You should come hang out with us on the internetz!
Hi! I wanted to let you know that we have created an IRC channel for "countering systemic bias one new editor at a time", aka closing the gender gap! Come hang out at #wikimedia-gendergap if that subject interests you. We hope this channel can serve as a safe haven to hang out, talk about Wiki, brainstorming, increasing women's participation in Wikimedia, article alerts and foster friendships. I hope you join us! (And if you need any IRC help, just let me know!) See you there! SarahStierch (talk) 22:22, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:Stained-Glass-Business-Logo.JPG


The file File:Stained-Glass-Business-Logo.JPG has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Unused logo with no article used, it's also can't move to commons because of an unused logo will be deleted as of out of project scope."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
