User talk:Jmappleton1

Welcome!

Hello, Jmappleton1, 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 Heard Building, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, 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 Heard Building
A tag has been placed on Heard Building, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous 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 the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 hangon 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. &mdash; Timneu22 · &#32; talk 01:11, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I am not surprised that Tim thought this was spam: every time you used the building's name you had to make it into a link to your company! I have moved it back to User:Jmappleton1/Heard Building. How many other Wikipedia articles about buildings have you looked at? Look at some now! Obvious improvements: less peacock language, use Infobox NRHP, wikilinks in the main body, external links confined to References and External links sections at the end. To avoid deletion, ask or me before moving it back into the (article) namespace. &mdash; RHaworth  07:05, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Your mugshot goes in User:Jmappleton1 not in the article! &mdash; RHaworth 07:12, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Indeed. The spam wasn't about the article's topic itself, but more about the presentation. The bottom of the article was blatant promotion: Article written by: James Appleton, Real Estate Sales and Leasing Agent at The Rudel company, Inc. James also develops Self-Storage websites and is the current Chairman of the Communications Committee of the Arizona Self-Storage Association. I hope you understand. &mdash; Timneu22 · &#32; talk 09:56, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
 * And if you were still feeling keen after cleaning up the article about the building, I note that we need a bio of Dwight B. Heard. &mdash; RHaworth 23:18, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
