Tanjung pinang
Hello there. Thanks for your edits improve this article. You may have noticed though that I have modified some. Particularly the touristy stuff. This is strongly discouraged to make wikipedia more of an encyclopedia than a tourist brochure. If you flick through the article history, you'll see the changes I've made. Thanks again for the improvements. I'm a "bule" and have been to Tanjung Pinang and Penyengat and found them both fascinating. One day I will add some of my photos. Drop me a message anytime on my talk page. kind regards --Merbabu 06:07, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for you contributions on the article. I assume you were once wikitravel editor and then changed your mind to edit here (please forgive me if I'm mistaken about this). It happened to me also that my editing style at wikitravel was repeated in wikipedia. However, Wikipedia is really different than Wikitravel, in terms of editing styles and contents. We don't put brochure like information, such as travel tips, flight schedules, list of hotels and attractions, etc. It's not encyclopaedia (please see WP:NOT in this case). We can put, however, the wikitravel link in the External links section to suggest readers that are interested to travel to the destination. I hope you can understand my message. If you have any questions, then please drop me a note. ;-) &mdash; Indon ( reply ) &mdash; 08:53, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Savan marine
A tag has been placed on Savan marine 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 a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (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.
