User talk:Goalloverhere

Welcome!

Hello, Goalloverhere, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Rubicon Project, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type helpme on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

Speedy deletion nomination of Rubicon Project


A tag has been placed on Rubicon Project 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 an organization or company, 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; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 23:43, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages, as you did to Zynga. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. CliffC (talk) 22:16, 12 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Cliff C. I did not think that adding the Zynga valuation ranking from Silicon Valley Insider would be considered promotional or a soap box. Do you not consider this notable and the source credible? Just curious as I am new and looking to learn thank you.Goalloverhere (talk) 21:06, 15 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, I reverted nine plugs for businessinsider.com that listed various companies' positions on its "Top 100" list. This looks like spamming and adds little or no value to the articles - lots of other sites would like a mention in every Wikipedia social-media article, but that is not the purpose of Wikipedia.  Please review WP:ELNO, WP:REFSPAM and WP:Spam.  Thanks, CliffC (talk) 01:01, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Is there something about the above message you don't understand? All your edits adding spam like this  are being removed now --CutOffTies (talk) 22:46, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

This is your last warning; the next time you insert a spam link, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines. REFSPAM CutOffTies (talk) 23:15, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

Please advise as to what I did wrong??? thanks. Goalloverhere (talk) 01:26, 1 January 2011 (UTC)


 * As I said above, please read CliffC's message about spamming, particularly WP:REFSPAM --CutOffTies (talk) 01:58, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Ok - I think I see what the concern is ...but that certainly was not my intention to try to promote any site by adding links. Rather I was trying to add more value to each article by providing verifiable and reputable 3rd party information about the traffic to these particular sites. Isn't that worthy of being included in an article? Do you have suggestions on this matter? I would welcome your input. Thank you. Goalloverhere (talk) 17:49, 1 January 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't see what makes that site "reputable". Please see reliable sources. Perhaps next time, ask on the Reliable source noticeboard if a site is reliable before adding it to a bunch of articles. --CutOffTies (talk) 18:16, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for taking the time to provide these resources...I will certainly review more carefully.Goalloverhere (talk) 18:49, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Total Beauty Media


A tag has been placed on Total Beauty Media requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  at the top of the article, immediately below the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate), and providing your reasons for contesting on the article's talk page, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

You may want to read the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. LordVetinari (talk) 02:05, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
