Welcome

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions seem to be advertising or for promotional purposes. Wikipedia does not allow advertising in articles. For more information on this, see If you still have questions, there is a new contributor's help page, or you can write   below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! Ioeth (talk contribs friendly) 21:53, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Jb eckl
A tag has been placed on Jb eckl, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Business' FAQ for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, 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, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

November 2007
You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to No original research, Neutral point of view, and Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later.

Editing in Wikipedia
Okay, so if you are going to continue to work in Wikipedia. I wish you would contribute to other articles as well as your own. Articles you have no vestment in. TOOTing you own horn is frowned upon around these parts. That said, I would like you to take a deep breath, step back, go have a cup of tea, then come back and learn Wikipedia better before you continue.

While anyone can edit in Wikipedia, there are some rules. Please do some studying before you move on. You need to read the manual before you drive the car.

First I would like you to read:


 * Biographies of living persons
 * Neutral point of view (NPOV)
 * Verifiability
 * No original research


 * Manual of Style (biographies)


 * Manual of Style

Then I would like you to look at 20 bio's on here of living people, popular ones, Carlos Santana, etc. Look at the way they are formatted, and look at the layout. Your article needs to "Wikified" (Wikify) to look like the other articles. We want all the articles, and bio's, to have the same "look and feel", the same layout. This helps the reader. If articles are in 10 or 20 different formats, it frustrates the reader.

Next, I can't emphasize this one enough: CITE YOU SOURCES!

How to cite sources:

Citing sources and also Citing sources/example style

SEE: Guide to writing better articles (This is a good one!)

Don't be here just to "sell" and sometimes publish things for shock-a-move-ability. Try to present both sides of the story, good and bad, etc:
 * Include only verifiable information

Format books in the suggested style:


 * Author last name, first name. Title. City: Publishing House. Year. ISBN 0000000000

Okay, here are some other tips for you:

Hello
Don't worry too much about all these comments. I helped clean up the page to make it more informational, and the only real issue is having sources. Everything on Wikipedia needs to have some kind of reputable reference. The result of not having a published reference is that the article now has a tag that says it's "unreferenced". If you have sources then note them, otherwise don't worry too much about it. K. C. Porter doesn't have many references either. Cuñado ☼ -  Talk  07:00, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
