Style changes
I'm glad to see you digging right in and helping out. Thank you! You may notice that I reverted some of your style changes in Cloud computing because they were not in accordance with our style guide. I think you will find that capitalization is not used as much in Wikipedia as it is elsewhere (see WP:MOSCAPS). Hyphens are also less used here but the main reason I reverted your addition of hyphens is that we don't use them for those terms in the rest of the project (see Software as a service, Platform as a service, etc.). It's always a good idea to look around to see how styling is applied generally, and in particular, before making style edits. Anyway, I'm glad you're here and look forward to working with you.

November 2013
Hello, Sfroberts. 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 Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/SaaS Markets, 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. Joja lozzo  13:42, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/SaaS Markets


A tag has been placed on Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/SaaS Markets requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from saasmarkets.com. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Rough start
Hi. You're having a rough start. I think this is mostly because you came here to promote your own interests rather than furthering the purpose of the project. Wikipedians are protective and vigilant in preserving the project's neutrality and in preventing it from being hijacked for commercial purposes. It clearly seems to offer a free channel for promotion of businesses but that's an illusion. A business has to establish its bona fides in third party articles before it rises to sufficient notability to earn an article or even mention here. I strongly recommend you become familiar with Wikipedia policy before making another attempt to contribute information about your business. In addition to all the critical links in the messages above, also see WP:NOTABLE, WP:SPAM and WP:NPOV. Cheers. Joja lozzo  14:17, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
