Speedy deletion of The Great IPv6 Experiment
A tag has been placed on The Great IPv6 Experiment 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

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.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added 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. 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 before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. &lowast; \ / (⁂) 13:38, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the heads-up. I would like to add though, that your line of reasoning seems pretty odd to me. I realise that Wikipedia should not be used for personal promotion and had I crudded up random articles, your removal would have been entirely justified. This, however, was a link on my personal wikipedia user page to my personal (entirely non-commercial) web site/blog. As you mention, the link does not effect search engine rankings (which I was aware off) which just deepens the mystery of why you believe it to be a problem. Friism (talk)
 * Thanks for the reply. The message I sent you was a template, so it probably didn't get my point across as well as it could've. Basically, I removed the link on your userpage because it violated the userpage policy, more particularly - 'Advertising or promotion of a business or organization unrelated to Wikipedia (such as purely commercial sites or referral links)'. I removed the link as it appeared to simply be a referral.
 * Since you have indicated it is your own personal website, (I couldn't quite tell by going to it! :) ), you shouldn't have too many issues in having it on your userpage. Just be careful not to link to it to much, and it may be helpful to add a little more info to your userpage just so it doesn't look too spammy. Thanks for your reply, and happy editing. :) &lowast; \ / (⁂) 21:07, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification
Hi. When you recently edited Fast attack craft, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Minesweeper (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Orphaned non-free media (File:AppHarbor logo.svg)
Thanks for uploading File:AppHarbor logo.svg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Werieth (talk) 21:12, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
