User talk:DJUpton

Welcome!

Hello, DJUpton, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Vinculus, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. 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 helpme on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Uncle Dick (talk) 19:22, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Vinculus
A tag has been placed on Vinculus 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 about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, 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. 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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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 administrators to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Vinculus, 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. Uncle Dick (talk) 19:32, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Vinculus. Please use the template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion, and make your case on the page's talk page. Thank you. Uncle Dick (talk) 19:33, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Please stop removing speedy deletion notices from pages that you have created yourself. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Uncle Dick (talk) 19:34, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

This is the final warning you will receive regarding your disruptive edits.

The next time you remove a speedy deletion notice from a page you have created yourself, as you did at Vinculus, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Uncle Dick (talk) 19:35, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Sorry.... I am new to making pages on Wiki. Could you please help me? My article isn't for a website. It's an article about this puzzle, just like sudoku is an article too. I added the website address as an external link.


 * I have tagged your article for speedy deletion because it does not specify how or why your puzzle game is notable or significant. Wikipedia is not for the cataloging of things that you have made up or for advertising a new game that you have developed. I believe there is also a serious conflict of interest since you appear to be the originator of the Vinculus game. Unless you can assert the notability of this game that you have developed through reliable, secondary sources, this article is likely to be deleted. Uncle Dick (talk) 19:45, 8 October 2010 (UTC)


 * To understand what Wikipedia is about you should read the Five Pillars and it would probably help to read Your First Article too. Please read these and understand the notability requirements for articles before you write them. Thanks for your attention and ask if you need help. Also please remember to sign your posts in Talk pages with four tildes ( ~ ) at the end. -- Alexf(talk) 19:49, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not for what you are trying to do
I'm sorry, but you will have to go somewhere else to promote your puzzle. JohnCD (talk) 19:56, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
 * You say on your website "This puzzle is very new, and is in the process of becoming known." But Wikipedia is not in the business of helping to make new things become well-known: our inclusion criterion is called notability and requires showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." See Wikipedia is not for things made up one day, particularly the section on Scrabble, for more explanation.
 * Also, in writing about your own puzzle you have, from our point of view, a conflict of interest. Wikipedia is extremely sensitive to the danger of being used for advertising or promotion, and has strong rules against editing with a COI.
