Speedy deletion of GOODE Ski Technologies
A tag has been placed on GOODE Ski Technologies, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant 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.

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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. CultureDrone (talk) 20:13, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Talk:GOODE Ski Technologies
A tag has been placed on Talk:GOODE Ski Technologies, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that 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 general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of Talk:GOODE Ski Technologies and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Willking1979 (talk) 20:27, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

I've gone ahead and created a backup for you
at User:Dave Goode/Sandbox. This is so you won't have to start from scratch if the article you created is deleted. Please take the time to review the links I posted above, as well as Wp:RS, WP:NOTE, and WP:CORP, and improve your draft if needed. Wikipedia does not allow advertisement, but it does allow articles on corporations/companies if presented in a balanced, and cited, way. &eta;oian  &Dagger;orever &eta;ew &Dagger;rontiers  20:28, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Goodelogosm.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Goodelogosm.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. J Milburn (talk) 21:21, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Article
I've added places where additional citations are needed. If it is already mentioned in a previous citations, simply do the following: replace the first citation instance with 

Then add where ever the same cite is needed.

Okay I will try to do better.
Thank you for your assistance. Do I need to do anything where it says (fact)?

Or just fix the refs?

Thank you, again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dave Goode (talk • contribs)


 * I've added some comments ( in ) on areas needing improvement (more of relevancy issue). Its a great improvement right now though. The refs should be converted to standard formatting (see template:cite web and related templates, but it's not mandatory.  &eta;oian   &Dagger;orever &eta;ew &Dagger;rontiers  02:55, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Also: One can't cite another wiki, or wikipedia. One may copy a citation located on a wikipedia page, but citing another wiki (unless about wikipedia policies) fails Wikipedia:Reliable Source &eta;oian   &Dagger;orever &eta;ew &Dagger;rontiers  03:09, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I hope you haven't found Wikipedia's policies to be too confusing, I understand new business owners may feel frustration when an article on their company gets flagged for deletion while seeing other companies pages on wikipedia. I thank you for your patience and willingness to abide by WP:Policies which take some time to comprehend. (The previous new editor who was writing about their company I tried to help after picking up them on NewPage Patrol and marking their original draft for deletion accused me, and two other admins who were trying to help of "abusing power." He/she refused to read the policies (or at least skim them) and kept trying to have advertisement as citations, which is sad as the article was salvagable) &eta;oian  &Dagger;orever &eta;ew &Dagger;rontiers  03:25, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of File:Goodelogosm.jpg
A tag has been placed on File:Goodelogosm.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image showing no evidence that the copyright holder has released it under the license indicated by the uploader which has been tagged as such for more than 7 days, and it still lacks the necessary information.

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  explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay.

December 2008
If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam); and,
 * 4) avoid breaching relevant 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 conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Omarcheeseboro (talk) 01:00, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
