Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

Or, you can just type   on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

Speedy deletion nomination of Servo Robot Inc.
A tag has been placed on Servo Robot Inc. requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

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. Abce2 | Aww nuts!

Speedy deletion nomination of Servo Robot Inc.
A tag has been placed on Servo Robot Inc., 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Servo Robot Group
A tag has been placed on Servo Robot Group requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. JamesBWatson (talk) 12:55, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Possible conflict of interest?
If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant 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 conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines.

User name
I hope that I don't seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and I am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy for the following reason. It is Wikipedia policy that a user account belongs to an individual, and not to a company or other organisation; I suggest you may like to read Wikipedia's policy on this. Since SRI is in use as an abbreviation for Servo Robot Inc, which is the subject of the article you have written and edited, it looks as though your account may be intended to represent that company. If so, you must not use this account for further editing. If you have any questions about this, you may post them here. You are also welcome to contact me on my user talk page. JamesBWatson (talk) 19:02, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your explanations. As a new member, it is sometime hard to know where the limits are. The name SRI-General does not belong to Servo-Robot Inc, so I won’t use it anymore to edit the Servo-Robot Group article. Should I change totally my user name or just use another one for this article? SRI-General, 26 August 2009


 * In principle you could do either. However, there are a few pitfalls to avoid. Firstly, some users use more than one account for dishonest purposes, which is known in Wikipedia as sockpuppetry, and anyone suspected of this is liable to be treated in a very unfriendly way, and eventually blocked from editing. It can also be confusing and unhelpful if edits by the same user appear to be by different editors. For both these reasons I think it much more advisable to change your username completely. If, however, you do decide to use two usernames for different purposes, I would strongly urge you to put a note on both the corresponding user pages saying so: that way you will largely protect yourself from accusations of sockpuppetry (though I have still known accusations to be made even then). You could, of course, simply abandon your existing account and start a new one. However, it is helpful to keep all the history of your edits in one place, and there is a process for requesting a change of username. I have never used this process, so I don't know a lot about it, but if you are interested you will find a brief note about it at WP:UNC, and full instructions at Changing username.
 * One more small point: the standard way to sign a comment on a talk page is to type 4 tildes (i.e. ~ ). This is automatically replaced by your signature, complete with the date, a link to your talk page, etc. JamesBWatson (talk) 11:33, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Thank you, I will try to change my username, I think this solution is safer. Could you remove the warning about possible conflict of interest?SRI-General (talk) 18:47, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
