Help re deleted article
Thanks you for the kind welcome! I just wanted to write an article about an open source project. It was deleted by User [Kimchi] without giving me and my friends the chance to improve the article and add an assertion about it's notability. The project has already attracted more than 5.000 users around the world. It was frustrating to see all the work being deleted. I really want to learn how to write an article meeting the guidelines of Wikipedia. Thanks


 * In writing about your own company, you have a conflict of interest which you need to disclose at every stage to avoid suspicion that you are spamming. I see that, because it was recreated several times, the title has been salted - protected against recreation. Try this approach:
 * Read:
 * WP:Conflict of interest
 * WP:Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest
 * WP:FAQ/Organizations
 * WP:Your first article
 * WP:Notability
 * WP:Notability (organizations and companies)
 * Write a draft in your user space at User:Gottowik/Bettercodes.org,
 * Post a request at WP:Requests for feedback, disclosing your interest,
 * When you think the article is ready, ask if he will agree to unsalt the title and let you post it,
 * If he does not agree, you can go to WP:Deletion review.
 * At each stage, you should disclose your interest.

 * Hi, I've restored the page and placed it in a subpage of your user page, so you can work on it there: User:Gottowik/Bettercodes.org. --KFP (contact | edits) 20:29, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute 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 as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because 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 article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 16:20, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
