Reference needed tags in DroidMsg
Hi Richards56, just a note - please don't remove the tags asking for more secondary sources unless you have actually added some. Secondary sources are sources that are not affiliated with the subject; that means that the review in theappmagazine.com is secondary, but the product's website or blog, and the link to where it can be bought, are not secondary. And in order to show notability, there should be significant coverage in multiple reliable sources, which means that there needs to be more than one source. Wikipedia is a work in progress, and it's not a problem if an article that isn't spammy or otherwise problematic sits there for a while with maintenance tags at the top, so if you don't have access to more secondary sources, just leave the tags so other editors are alerted to the fact that references are needed. Thanks! --bonadea contributions talk 13:50, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of DroidMsg


The article DroidMsg has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * No evidence of notability, even after being tagged for sources for nine months.

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.

Conflict of interest
Hello, Richards56. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article DroidMsg, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. JamesBWatson (talk) 14:41, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
