User talk:Deadalus821

Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, Deadalus821! I have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on or by typing helpme at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on, or place helpme on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! Ks0stm  ( T • C ) 00:16, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

{{ Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added {{#if:Intelligence quotient|such as to the page Intelligence quotient}} do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the {{#if:Intelligence quotient|article's talk page|article's talk page}} before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. {{#if:|{{{2}}}|Thank you.}} Dmcq (talk) 05:26, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Mega Genius
A tag has been placed on Mega Genius, 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 Mega Genius 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. Dmcq (talk) 05:41, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Re:Mega Genius
Hi Deadalus821. You are certainly welcome to resumbit the article, but I suggest you read WP:ADS and WP:MOS before doing so. Wikipedia has a policy against advertising/spam and pages which meet such criteria (see WP:ADS) are subject to speedy deletion per deletion criterion G11. -  F ASTILY  (T ALK ) 19:35, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Jim Diamond (Mega Genius)
A tag has been placed on Jim Diamond (Mega Genius), 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.

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. — jwillbur 01:18, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Notice — Copyright (c) 2009 Jim Diamond. The author of the Biography aquired his facts from personal contact with Jim Diamond and is the orginal author for the Biography at the link.

There is no copyright violation

Look for "Offical Biographer: Kurt Roskopf" at the end of the Biography on the Weblink. I am the orginal author for this Biography and intend to use my existing work which I independently created from personal communication with Jim Diamond, which was used for the Website and have copyright permission from Jim Diamond to use the Biography as a contribution to Wikipedia.Mega Genius® Biography Deadalus821 (talk) 03:59, 28 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia does not allow copyrighted text, please read Copyrights for detailed information. In any case, articles need to be neutral and referenced with reliable, third-party, published sources. The subject's own website is neither neutral nor a third-party source. Please stop recreating the article. — jwillbur 05:33, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Blatant conflict of interest
Hello, … by your own admission, "I am the independent author of the Mega Genius® Biography, which I create for Jim Diamond …"This is the very essence of WP:COI, which states: "Do not edit Wikipedia to promote your own interests, or those of other individuals or of organizations, including employers …"This is quite separate from the copyright violation issue, because it is still a primary source that cannot be considered "independent" by any definition … the point is that www.megagenius.com can never be considered a reliable source because it is by definition the subject's own words, albeit spoken with another person's voice.

Unless you can find some "significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject", Wkipedia will not allow the subject to have an article. Happy Editing! &mdash;  23:20, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Followup
If this subject does not have enough Attribution, then how can you expect that totally unreferenced article that you keep posting to survive? I mean, this subject got three paragraphs about their Mensa membership in Ebony (a WP:RS periodical available in supermarket checkout lines) that can be Verified by a trip to a local library to examine a microfiche copy, but all your subject has is their own word from their own website … BTW, I see that it has been salted to prevent recreation.  &mdash; 17:52, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Jim Diamond (Mega Genius)


The article Jim Diamond (Mega Genius) has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Only Google hit is self-promotional website (and press releases from said website). Article exists entirely of highly improbable claims without any independent secondary sources.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Singularity42 (talk) 15:14, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text below this notice, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Prolog (talk) 22:08, 17 January 2011 (UTC) You were not given a second chance so you could continue using Wikipedia as a platform for advertising. Prolog (talk) 22:08, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

If you're still just planning to write about the same subject, why are you using the unblock request template? You already know that you aren't going to be writing about that subject, and as far as I can tell you aren't interested in writing about anything else, so why do you need an active account? -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 02:37, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
