User talk:Austin.mayden

Hi! I am trying to get into helping in my spare time because I am an avid Wikipedia user when looking things up. I thought I would start this page because I noticed it didn't exist. Since I also spend time in design for both 3D, 2D and motion. I am familiar with both DT and Gnomon. I did notice that Gnomon had a Wikipedia page already. I assume these both rank the same as education outlets that are used worldwide though online access.

I do however notice that what I had used as references do not meet the GNG on relieable sources. 3 of the 4 sources I used were press releases set forth by the company. This was my fault for I should have look for better sources and understood the guidelines better. I do not think that the article should be deleted but if there would be a way to temporarily disable the article, until I can make sure it meets all criteria that makes good Wikipedia articles.

I feel that DT, Lynda, Skillshare, Gnonom and etc are all important websites due to there nature of online education. I feel that this is a growing trend for education and that it is being noticed by people who want to learn new skills or advance their education by using it as a supplement to a college or university.

So does this look like an entry that could be added to Wikipedia or am I still off the mark? Thanks for your help!
 * I don't really have the time to look through your article, but there is a way to stop it from being deleted. I've moved it to "Draft:" space, so it now exists here. Hope this helps. Acalycine ( talk / contribs ) 05:43, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Digital-Tutors


A tag has been placed on Digital-Tutors 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Zeus t&#124; u &#124; c 02:44, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Austin.mayden. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content 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 a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.  Я ehevkor ✉  21:36, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
