User talk:Ncknight

A tag has been placed on Azione Capital requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, 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 assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Accounting4Taste 17:25, 3 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your note. I think what will help you most is the set of templates at .  You can attach one of these to your page temporarily, and it's kind of like putting up an "under construction" sign.  I very much doubt that anyone would tag your page even if you left it for 12 or 24 hours, or even more, as long as the "under construction" tag was present.  They can't be used indefinitely, but I think they will protect your page as long as it needs protecting.
 * It's a pleasure to be of assistance; let me know if there's anything further I can offer. Accounting4Taste 16:13, 4 September 2007 (UTC)


 * But don't use the ones marked with padlocks, halfway down the page -- those are reserved for administrators. Accounting4Taste 16:14, 4 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your recent note about Azione Capital. I've edited the article to take out quite a bit of detail that I thought was excessive, because I also thought that that was what might have triggered the other editor to tag it as "advertising".  I left a note on his talk page as follows:
 * I've given this Azione Capital article an edit and tried to make it more impersonal, and taken out quite a bit of what I felt was unnecessary detail. My feeling is that someone would come to this article looking to find out what Azione Capital did in a general sense, that most of the fine detail and history was not necessary and, if the reader wanted to know more, they could go to the website which is listed as an external link.  I'm not sure precisely what the author meant when he said I was "ok with it" -- I originally tagged it as non-notable, based on a less fleshed-out version, and removed my own tag when notability was demonstrated to my satisfaction.  I've tried to work with this author to make a Wikipedia-style article.  If you still have concerns about this being spammy, please bring them to me and I'll work with you until you're satisfied.

 * and I think that about sums up what I did and why. I also took out the mailing address and contact information, which are rather "advertising-like", and edited down the number of news releases.  (News releases are not generally considered enormously useful references on Wikipedia because they don't lend any notability, just verifiability; what you say about your own enterprise doesn't usually matter and frequently shouldn't be in the article.)  As you can see, I've asked the other editor to come to me if he has further concerns, and I'll say the same thing to you -- I'll be happy to work with both of you to make this an article that meets Wikipedia's needs and standards and that you can both be satisfied with.  If you have any further questions or concerns, please leave me a note on my talk page.  Accounting4Taste 05:21, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Advert tag
Hi there, please don't be offended by the advert tag on the Azione Capital article. These tags are there to encourage better choice of words in article, not to criticise an editor. In this particular case, it's not so bad really - looking at it again I would say that I could only pick out a few specific words that could be seen that way, e.g. "hands-on", "sector-focused", in the context of the article. They come across to me as a bit promotional, that's all.

I'll leave it up to you to find the best wording. All the best Cnbrb 15:25, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Sure, no worries. A good place to start is The perfect article.

Language is so subjective - different readers understand different things and it's hard to get the tone of language right for Wikipedia. Even if users don't mean to, they inadvertently write things that come across differently to other readers. It's hard to put one's finger on it, even with the guidelines. Personally, I always react against corporate-style language (leverage, success, client-focused etc.) as I read it as promotional, but I don't think there's a Wikipedia policy against it. I guess you have to imagine what it would be like for someone reading with no prior knowledge - would they understand it, and would it seem like the subject was being projected neutrally. Look here too for guidance:
 * Neutral point of view
 * Avoid peacock terms

Above all, have fun. Cnbrb 17:50, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Azione Capital logo 200.jpg

Speedy deletion of Nicholas Chan
A tag has been placed on Nicholas Chan 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 person or group of people, 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.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

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), 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.  §hawn poo   06:44, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
