User talk:Pleiter

A tag has been placed on Backbase, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant 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 general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. StephenBuxton (talk) 21:18, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Comments on your article
Just in case the article gets deleted - though it shouldn't just yet, as you have added the hangon tag (gives you a bit of grace to get the article tidied up), I have copied my reply to yours below:


 * First off, I am glasd that you are not just trying to advertise - Wikipedia sees enough people trying to sneak their ads in. I would suggest that you have a look at the Featured article list, specifically on computing.  These articles are all considered to be ideal articles for Wikipedia, and are to a very high standard.


 * Once you've had a look through those, have another look at your article. To be brutally honest, it is reading a bit like an advert at the moment.  If you can edit the article so the tone looks less like an advert, and more like an encyclopedia advert, the article will almost certainly stay.


 * One thing has caught my notice from your post above - the use of the word "we" instead of "I". Can I just check that there is just one of you using this username? Wikipedia has a policy about not having multiple users for one username.  Also, can you confirm whether or not you are involved with the company that makes this technology? If you are, there is a risk of conflict of interest. If there is, then please read the policy on that.


 * If there is anything I can do to help (though bear in mind that I am not an administrator, and have no say in whether or not this article can stay), please feel free to ask. YOu will shortly be seeing a welcome message appear on your talk page - please read it - it should help you edit your article. StephenBuxton (talk) 21:53, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
