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. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" is strongly discouraged. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Ash (talk) 12:49, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by some search engines, including Google. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Ash (talk) 12:50, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Dictionary definitions
Hello,

I noticed you recently recreated several articles had consisted only of a dictionary definition. You contributions are valued, but please keep in mind that Wikipedia is not a dictionary. If you wish to contribute dictionary definitions, I suggest you try our sister project Wiktionary: http://en.wiktionary.org

If you have any questions, let me know. Thank you, ThaddeusB (talk) 17:15, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Flexene
That is going to be quite tough to find web sources other then the main website, the rest are either mirror pages or just commercials/advertisements. Although other published material, unfortunately not accessible for people like myself can be added as sources. I don't know if books, magazines or newspapers have info on the Flexene though. It would be a good idea to add the type of content as you mentionned on my talk page. Also, there have being questions on the AFD about the notability by the nominator, though I don't know the product itself.

The page Notability (organizations and companies) shows information on products should be included into the company's article unless the latter is very large and/or if the product itself is notable. Seeing that the company itself likely does not meet the notability guidelines for companies, maybe one solution is to create an article about Andrew W. Killen, if he meets the notability guidelines and put the information about the product there (as example the Vince Offer (AKA the Shamwow Guy) article - note that the two products he sells even though it is very frequently advertised don't have their own articles) - although should not put too much though so not looks too promotional.

My guess probably is if Mr. Killen is notable enough and if it is too tough to find sources from more and independant parties on the product, then probably the best solution is to create an article on the creator of the product and to put some of the product's info there.

As for the other question, if other pages have wikilinks to Flexene, then it shouldn't be considered as orphan, if it is links to the website of the product, it is still orphaned. JForget 15:10, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Surface coating


The article Surface coating has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * This dictionary definition has been copied to Wiktionary.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Cnilep (talk) 16:15, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
