User:Net2ride/Perfect Networker draft article
Hi Net2ride, and may I also welcome you to Wikipedia.

I see that you have created a draft article - that's great, we always need more editors and creators. However, at the moment there are some problems with the draft article. I will discuss these more on the article's talk page (which is here), but I thought I'd give you some pointers to some of the policies which guide what is and isn't included on Wikipedia.

The basic criteria for an article is 'is the subject notable'?

The main guidelines for notability are at Notability. The main criteria is If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article.

Other useful notability guidelines are Notability (organizations and companies) and Notability (web).

Reading those guidelines, you will see that it mentions reliable sources - what is counted as a reliable source? I'm glad you ask - the guidelines are here: Reliable sources.

Also, the guidelines mention that information in articles must be verifiable - the guidelines about that is here: Verifiability.

I suggest that you read those guidelines, and then the comments I'm going to leave on the article's talk page.

If you have any other questions, either leave a message here (this page is on my watchlist - which shows me the last change to pages I am watching), or on my talk page (by click on the "Contact Me" link in my signature. Alternatively, you can use the IRC channel as you did when we were chatting - or leave a question at the Help Desk.
