Commercial links
Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. Unfortunately, the commercial links/content you added were inappropriate, as Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and should not be used for advertising or a collection of external links. See the welcome page if you'd like to learn more about contributing to the encyclopedia. Thanks! / edgarde 21:18, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

I guess this is a baptism of fire
I'm afraid it happens. I can see that you are new to Wikipedia, and I hope the experience you have had so far will not discourage you. Pretty much everyone makes a load of errors to start with. What you have done is not a major sin. You've been bold, as we all should be, and you've had a go. Carry on having a go. If you need help, put on your user talk page and a friendly helpful person will drop by and answer your questions.

When writing in talk pages (but never on article pages) sign your work with ~ which translates to your signature automatically.

Have a look at WP:MOS and WP:NOT for the most important guidelines and you won't go far wrong. Just don;t be discouraged that your first attempts have been viewed by other editors as "not really what was required". IT truly is not personal, it just probably feels it.

Since you are new and are probably wondering how to answer this (if you choose to answer it), just answer it below here. I'll notice next time I'm passing by. Fiddle Faddle 23:36, 12 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Fire is right!


 * Thanks for the help - just trying to pay by the rules, and still get things posted.

 * Ok, I've trimmed the article radically for you. The form I left it in may survive.  It may not.  Try to write what a reader of an encyclopaedia would expect to see.  It is a tough discipline, far harder that writing marketing copy.  Expand the article with care and with references and you stand a chance, unless it fails WP:CORP when it will go however good the article is in its own right  Fiddle Faddle 23:50, 12 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Great - thank you!

 * Good luck. Above all, even if this article gets deleted, do not be discouraged.  Everyone starts with errors.  Everyone!  This is not a gentle place, I'm afraid.  But it is a great experience.  Fiddle Faddle 23:55, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

It looks very much like it will go because of lack of inherent notability. I always thought it was likely. Water under the bridge. Fiddle Faddle 00:33, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Is there anything else I can do on this in the short term?67.103.44.231 20:31, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

CheapesTees.com
I have added a "" template to the article CheapesTees.com, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria. -- Kinu t /c  07:13, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

I added more info on this company. I believe they deserve to be included since they are a noteworhty company given their success, devotion to treating their employees right and giving to worthy charities. They may not be a public, well known company, but they seem to do things right. Donw1965 03:04, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
