Carb Boom article
Hi Magwin1;

Welcome again to Wikipedia. I noted your Carb boom article soon after you submitted it and, and saw that it had been recommended for deletion, and also placed a hangon tag to suggest that it not be deleted. The user who placed the deletion request removed it right away so it is no longer being considered for deletion. The reason this user placed this request is that on the surface, the article looked to be an advertisement for this product. I see that since this initial edit, you have made additional edits and expanded the scope of the article. Below are a few comments which I can make because I made many of the same little errors when I first started editing Wikipedia;

- External links - you are adding external links in the form like - ''' Carb BOOM! official homepage link title '''. This can be changed to ''' [http://www.carbboom.com Carb BOOM! official homepage] ''', which will give the appearance in the article as [http://www.carbboom.com Carb BOOM! official homepage] - with the link leading to the intended web site. substitute the phrase "link title" with the text you want to appear.

In the competitors section, if you add br at the end of the lines, it will skip to the next line instead of placing each item after the other. You may also want to look at Table to see how to place these in a table.

Also, if you use the Preview button instead of the Save page button, you can make intermediate changes without actually seeing them in the page history section.

Again, welcome - and keep on editing - Radtek67 (talk) 21:00, 7 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi again;


 * A couple of hours ago, I suggested that you use the markup BR to force a new line. The correct syntax is actually   .  This just proves that new users do not have the monopoly on making errors.  That is the beauty of Wikipedia - we do not have to be perfect every time.  Radtek67 (talk) 23:03, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Since Wikipedia uses XHTML, the correct syntax is . But if Wiki markup is properly used there is no need for  . You had made no attempt to demonstrate the notability of the product so I deleted it as spam. -- &mdash; RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 07:33, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
