Re Your deletion of some text in the SIOE article.
Re Your recent deletion of some text which I inserted.

Which part of it was biased. The two examples of criticism come from the British Labour Party and a Left-wing pressure group. The criticism paragraph as it stands is far from objective and offers no context for the criticisms at all. The final edit, re BNP merely spelt out that group's full name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emmetfahy (talk • contribs) 11:05, 8 February 2013 (UTC)


 * That's not true. Have another look at your edits and then come back to me. Thanks GimliDotNet ( Speak to me,  Stuff I've done )  12:34, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

I'd be happy to call Labour Left-centrist if that's what you prefer. The Anti-fascist group referred to are an activist group, with clearly left-wing sympathies, just look at their leadership's political affiliations. This is not a criticism of them, but merely an attempt to give some context. The link to the claim about David Cameron, says he support them yes, but all their organisors appear to be left-of-centre politicians and activists. Regarding the SPLC, they are a Democrat Party aligned and supported group. The Democrat party are (at least in US terms) considered left wing. There has been much criticism also (which you can see in the Wikipedia article on them) about their inappropriate labelling of groups. I think its important to give some context to the criticisms in these articles. I take your point about citations and will look into it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emmetfahy (talk • contribs) 16:27, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

QikPad
I've declined your speedy as it isn't web content. It's a browser based software that does something or other on local nets rather than being a website. Software doesn't come into A7. The wording 'web based' causes confusion, I think. But this looks to me like downloadable software that works over a net, much as a browser does. Having said that, I can't see any sign of notability and the only ref looks unreliable and possibly not independent.... I'd go for prod. Peridon (talk) 23:00, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi Peridon, I hope you are well. I want to be sure I understand what you have said. Just to clarify QikPad does not require the downloading of any software - it is 100% browser based. There is no third party or download required. In terms of notability, QikPad has been featured in the Times of India newspaper, Examiner '5 sites for web 2.0 applications from 2012 to integrate into the classroom' (search Google for the link - cannot embed), MakeUseOf.com, Robin Good @ MasterNewMedia.org, Addictive Tips, Freeware Genuis and many many more reviews, including in Spanish, Japanese, Chinese etc. Any questions we can answer please just let me know.

 * So, you're telling me that it IS internet based? There's a difference here between stuff you use online (like YouTube, Wikipedia, multi-user games, etc) and stuff you use on your own computer (Open Office, Firefox, FreeCell, etc). Browsers do go online, but the software is at home. Stuff that's kept on some central computer and used there (remotely, of course) is liable to speedy deletion id considered not of indicated significance. Software on your home machine is not liable to this (there are other ways for deletion). Anyway, whichever it is, you've had a stay of execution. You need to greatly improve the references. Your sole source is not what I would consider worth typing in. It looks promotional, and possibly not independent. Read WP:RS about what are reliable independent sources, and what aren't. Apologies to Gimli for using his page. Peridon (talk) 18:07, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
