Welcome to Wikipedia!
Dear Blackdaz: Welcome to Wikipedia, a free and open-content encyclopedia. I hope you enjoy contributing. To help get you settled in, I thought you might find the following pages useful:


 * Introduction
 * Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * Frequently Asked Questions
 * How do you edit a page?
 * How do you revert to a previous version of a page?
 * What about copyrights?
 * Community Portal

Don't worry too much about being perfect. Very few of us are! Just in case you are not perfect, click here to see how you can avoid making common mistakes.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. A third option is to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator.

One last bit of advice: please sign any discussion comment with four tildes ( ~ ). The software will automatically convert this into your signature which can be altered in the "Preferences" tab at the top of the screen. I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information. If you need any help just let me know. Once again welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to tell us about yourself and be BOLD!

This page was tagged for deletion for being too promotional; I'm going to give you a little slack here, but I've moved it into your userspace (at User:Blackdaz/Blackdaz), added noindex to the page ... don't remove that ... and read up on WP:CORP. Happy editing. - Dank (push to talk) 22:58, 12 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the heads up, Dank. Being new to Wikipedia editing, I thought that I had added this page to my sandbox, as I am working to ensure that I have enough outside sources to ensure that this article is not too biased. - Blackdaz (push to talk) 23:26, 12 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Hello Blackdaz. I saw your message on Dank's talk page, and I'm going to try to help you out.
 * First of all, make sure your article satisfies the notability guidelines (WP:CORP). That's step one.
 * Secondly, your article reads like an advertisement. Specifically these sentences-
 * WorldLingo was inspired by an international group of experienced IT and translation professionals who believed that clear structures, a flat hierarchy and a flexible organization - internally and externally - would make complex client projects more manageable.
 * Free from the necessity to develop its own TEs, WorldLingo has focused on making usable applications and on parsing technologies to improve overall translation speed and accuracy.
 * The above sentences lead me to believe you're either working for, or are somehow related to WorldLingo. One way to know whether an article has been written from a neutral point of view is if you can't figure out whether the article writer supports the company, or is against it. After reading your article, I can easily see you're pro-WorldLingo, and that's one of the reasons your article was deleted.
 * Additionally, you might want to read up on: WP:COI, WP:RS, and WP:OR. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have (on my talk page).  Aditya  α ß 17:12, 4 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much for your feedback. It's much appreciated. I will do what I can to make the changes that you suggested.Blackdaz (talk) 19:20, 7 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Excellent. Once you've rewritten it leave a message on my talk page and I'll look over the article again. Cheers,  Aditya  α ß 10:33, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Worldlingo
A tag has been placed on Worldlingo 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. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 00:00, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Worldlingo, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. I have restored the CSD tag. Crafty (talk) 00:26, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: WorldLingo
Hello Alan. I am decling speedy deletion of WorldLingo because they provide machine translation services that can be accessed via the Microsoft Office Suite application which is used internationally by millions of people across the world. Being that Wikipedia is a resource that millions of people use to research information about things that they encounter in their daily lives, an article about this company should be included. Furthermore, because of the open format of Wikipedia, all users are free to add more information that may not have yet been added. This can also be said about other providers of machine translation services like Language Weaver, Systran, MyMemory, etc. Lastly, no disputes have been entered against MyMemory with regards to notability, yet WorldLingo provides them with machine translation services that they use as well.

Speedy Deletion, Worldlingo etc
Black,

On Alan Liefting's talkpage you "declined" the speedy deletion nomination he made regarding Worldlingo. As the creator of the article you are not permitted to decline such a nomination. In fact it's generally held that only Administrators should make determinations regarding CSD nominations. You can continue to edit and improve the article whilst it is tagged.

Also you should take care to post new messages on talkpages at the 'bottom of the page, rather than the top and take care to sign your talkpage comments with four tildes ( ~ ) which will automagically insert your signature and a time/date stamp. Crafty (talk) 02:54, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
