Hi.

I prefer to call myself as a Wecoming comittee member instead of a welcome monkey. Ha Ha. --Ageo020 05:31, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

A page you created, or image you uploaded, NetYC Alliance, has been [ deleted] in accordance with our deletion policy. In particular, it meets the one or more criteria for speedy deletion; the relevant criterion is:


 * Unremarkable people, groups, companies and web content. An article about a real person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content that does not assert the importance or significance of its subject.

Wikipedia has certain standards for inclusion that all articles must meet. Certain types of article must establish the notability of their subject by asserting its importance or significance. Additionally, since Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, content inappropriate for an encyclopedia, or content that would be more suited to somewhere else (such as a directory or social networking website) is not acceptable.

Unit conversion stuff (question)
Minor question, not actually needed right now, just curious, and I would normally have stuck this in the help desk but I'm at school and my current IP is blocked from editing due to vandalism (either some kid being stupid or some teacher editing the article to stop kids from cheating, not disputing).

Let's say I have a source for something that gives a number - say a dollar amount for average cost of a component in some sciencey thing. Now my source gives the number in USD, but the article is using Euros elsewhere for some other cost. If I use Google to convert the USD to Euros, and stick it in the article, how would I properly note this? Just cite it and put &lt;!-- This source gives the amount in USD, I converted it to Euros through Google on April SomeNumber 2012 --&gt; ? Is there a template I use?


 * Don't convert it at all. If the source only mentions Euros, only add that value. You don't know how they arrived at that value - they might have converted it themselves, someone else might have converted it for them, the conversion might have been done months earlier, etc. - so you are unable to convert the amount (back) without violating WP:SYNTH or WP:NOR.
