User talk:PictureTrivia

Welcome!

Hello, PictureTrivia, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One firm rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! Dougweller (talk) 11:18, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

If the answer to these questions is "no", then the photos are not relevant to RentAGoat are they? Barney the barney barney (talk) 10:19, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of RentAGoat
Hello PictureTrivia,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged RentAGoat for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks, Barney the barney barney (talk) 10:20, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure what part of 'don't remove the speedy deletion tag' you missed, but the only reason I didn't delete it was because there is the possibility that it meets WP:ORG.
 * I deleted the history section as it is not about the company. I'm pretty annoyed that the citation of the Google blog said "^ "Google Uses RentAGoat". Google Blog." instead of what the actual title "Mowing with goats". And it clearly says they rented from another firm -although I see the attempt to advertise this firm that was made today.
 * It's also pretty obvious that you've got a conflict of interest. Dougweller (talk) 11:18, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of RentAGoat


The article RentAGoat has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Article about small non-notable company.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
