Speedy deletion of Mort Rosenblum
Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. As the article namespace is for encyclopedic content and not tests, the page you made will soon be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

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. mhking (talk) 02:46, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Mort Rosenblum
A tag has been placed on Mort Rosenblum 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 a person or group of people, 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 biographies.

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from 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. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. mhking (talk) 02:51, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Dispatches journal
A tag has been placed on Dispatches journal, 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 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. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information.

Hello and welcome
Your username and contributions indicate you may have a wp:coi. The link provides Wikipedia's policies for this type of situation. I've also raised the issue here where more experienced editors can weigh in on whether the cites you've added are appropriate. I'm not an expert on this particular scenario, but I'm happy to help in any way I can, so please let me know if you have any questions. ChildofMidnight (talk) 21:13, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Dispatches (journal); other edits reverted
This article, which you created, has been deleted because it (in my eyes and those of the administrator who followed up) "exclusively promote some entity and that would need to be fundamentally rewritten to become encyclopedic." Afterwards I have gone through your edits to other articles and found that they were mostly adding links that did not improve Wikipedia as an encyclopedia. I found that most of your edits were one of
 * 1) Adding external links to contributor biographies from your journal's website. Most of those biographies were less thorough than the Wikipedia article itself; none of them appear to meet our guidelines for external links in articles.
 * 2) Adding links to "teaser excerpts" of articles published in your journal. The purpose of those appear to be solely to entice the reader into buying access to the full article; we don't like such "spam" links.
 * 3) Even in the few cases where your external links led to the full work that your journal published, I judged that they were not of encyclopedic interest. The fact that a writer or photographer or cartoonist has been published in a particular journal is only relevant in an encyclopedia article if the journal itself is notable. And that a journal with only three issues should be so notable that publishing in it is an important fact about each contributor, is such an extraordinary proposition that it demands extraordinary evidence -- which you have not provided.

Accordingly, I have undone most of your edits. Though nothing technically stops you from re-doing them, I urge you not to do so without closely reading our conflict-of-interest guidelines and the other relevant policies and guidelines they mention.

You may also want to contribute your own side to the discussion at Conflict of interest/Noticeboard. –Henning Makholm (talk) 23:53, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Dispatches OnRussia cover.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Dispatches OnRussia cover.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 11:06, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
