User talk:Pcmlana

Hi

Thank you for your message. The article PowerCost Monitor™ was deleted because it was clearly intended to be advertising. Advertising is forbidden on Wikipedia, as is creating articles about any product or organization you are connected with. If your product is well-known enough to deserve an article, it will be created for you. I am unfamiliar with the other article you mention, so I have no idea why it has not been deleted. If you believe it should be, then you may place a tag on it to indicate that it should be considered for deletion. See Deletion for more information.

In future it is best to contact other editors by editing their talk page rather than by emailing them. If you want to reply to me you can do so by editing this page - I will see it. Remember to sign your contributions on talk pages by placing four tildes ~ at the end. It will be expanded to your username and the time and date.

Have fun, and happy editing. DJ Clayworth (talk) 03:04, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi and thank you for the information.

We will not be placing a tag on these pages - although it is still confusing to me how ours was deleted so quickly while these product pages have remained active for quite some time (same descriptive content).

Do you think we would be more successful with a user oriented page about the PowerCost Monitor? For example create the page, post a photo.....and leave the content to objective wiki users.

Thank you


 * Hi. To some extent it is chance whether someone notices a new article - plenty of people monitor them but some slip through. A user-oriented page will not help at all. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and only encyclopedia-style articles are permitted. I also need to say this again: it is not permitted to created or add content to articles for companies or products you represent. May I suggest you look around WIkipedia, get a feel for it, and make some edits to articles not related to your company or products. I would also suggest reading:


 * Welcome, newcomers
 * Advertising
 * Neutral point of view
 * Verifiability
 * Notability
 * Also please make sure you sign contributions on talk pages. You can do this by 'appending four tildes to your edits, like this ~ '. DJ Clayworth (talk) 14:57, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of PowerCost Monitor
A tag has been placed on PowerCost Monitor, 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), 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. RadioFan (talk) 13:34, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with PowerCost Monitor. Please use the template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion, and make your case on the page's talk page. Thank you. RadioFan (talk) 14:06, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as PowerCost Monitor™, to Wikipedia as doing so is not in accordance with our policies. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article; you might also consider using the Article Wizard. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. RadioFan (talk) 14:07, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

tagging competing products for deletion
Please do not tag articles for competitor's products (Google PowerMeter, Cent-a-meter, Kill A Watt, The Energy Detective) for deletion. --RadioFan (talk) 14:13, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for your account is being used only to promote the "Power Cost Meter" and to attempt to delete articles on competing products; your username indicates a conflict of interest. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. JohnCD (talk) 14:53, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
 * You said on the article talk page that the deletion attempts were made by someone else. Role accounts used by more than one person are not permitted, the account holder is responsible for everything done by it, and the excuse that edits from an account were made by someone else is never accepted.
