User talk:JohnboyMaui

Welcome!

Hello, JohnboyMaui, 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 Seattle Pedicab, 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! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Questions or ask me on my talk page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Seattle Pedicab


A tag has been placed on Seattle Pedicab 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, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. Reaper Eternal (talk) 20:50, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi
I've moved your article to User:JohnboyMaui/Seattle Pedicab. I'd suggest rewording to avoid the promotional sound ('our' and such words - be neutral WP:NPOV). You will need reliable independent references - see WP:RS. It's not only the editing - it's the policies.... When you think it's ready, ask an admin or someone who edits regularly for an opinion.

 * 'Reliable sources' does not include Youtube or Facebook... Peridon (talk) 21:36, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Peridon for your help! Obviously this whole Wikipedia thing is completely new to me and I 'jumped-the-gun' on my efforts. The links you've provided are very useful and any others will be appreciated. In my list of project priorities this one is not even on it, so I'm in no particular hurry. ~ Aloha!
 * Good idea to sign talk page posts with ~ . Don't leave it unattended too long - even in userspace and labelled draft things can be found by the patrollers. One's looked in and decided to give it more time - but if nothing at all is happening, they'll decide it's abandoned... Peridon (talk) 15:07, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
