Note
Please do not submit promotional material to Wikipedia. Thank you. DS 20:48, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Okay
First, you'll be relieved to know that your original material is in fact still available (except for the images, but I think you probably still have those). If you like, I can send it to you via the "e-mail this user" link once you activate it.

As for how to create a more neutral page... well, let me ask you this. Are you, personally, involved in the running of Minyanville? Because the page definitely read like you had a personal stake.

(Oh, and when you post on a talk page, you should do so at the bottom.) DS 23:01, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Guidelines
Ah, here we are - the neutrality guidelines. Also, I suggest you read some more articles first, so as to get a proper feel for what the "encyclopedic tone" should be. Your previous version felt very much like a press kit - and, indeed, you used a press kit as the basis for your work. Use of a press kit as a source of information is perfectly reasonable, of course, but it's like using an egg in a recipe: no matter how necessary it is, you don't want the final product to feel like raw egg.

I'll get you the deleted edits within the next few minutes.

By the way, is there any connection between "Minyanville" and the Jewish concept of the minyan? DS 13:10, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:News&views new.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:News&views new.png. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr.) 20:23, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:MVsmall new.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:MVsmall new.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:10, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Minyanville
A tag has been placed on Minyanville, 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. Manway (talk) 20:31, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
