Edit Summary Request
I have noted that you often edit without an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky or even vandalizing. Also, mentioning one change but not another one can be misleading to someone who finds the other one more important; add "and misc." to cover the other change(s).

speed delition of smartassembly page and links

 * From User Talk:JzG

Hello,

Having a look at the 2 Wikipedia articles regarding: a) obfuscated code and b) obfuscation software, I found the following links: - Wikilinks to Dotfuscator, an obfuscator from Preemptive. a very short page. In the category software stub. - External links to the "How to select guide for an obfuscation tool", an interesting guide to obfuscation tools, but which was published in August 2005, and was never updated since then.

I added a few links myself: - A link to a more up-to-date obfuscation tools list, on sharptoolbox - A link to a new created page on smartassembly, which is an obfuscation tool for .NET applications. - an external link to the website for this tool.

Everything was immediately deleted.

I am totally new to Wikipedia. And I'm sincerely sorry if I did something wrong. My intention is absolutely not to "pervert" the wikipedia philosophy with commercial elements, or with inappropriate contributions. As there is already such type of reference in the article, with Dotfuscator, I thought it appropriate to mention our obfuscation software too.

Deleting my references/resources, while keeping a link to Dotfuscator obfuscation tool, that doesn't look fair, and innevitably results in biaised information for any wikipedia user.

Please advise me what I can do. I sincerely tried to keep the links and the smartassembly page neutral and objective. But maybe it wasn't. I'm of course ready to take any comment or to adapt the description to better suit the Wikipedia guidelines. So please be so kind to get back to me as soon as possible.

Thank you. --Smartassembly 17:00, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * The major problem is that you created an article on a product, Smartassembly, which matches your username. That always looks like a WP:VAIN violation, and in this case User:HappyCamper concurred with User:MER-C's judgment that the article was essentially vanity (category A7 is the criteria for speedy deletion).  As a secondary issue the link summaries in other articles were promotional in tone.  Just zis Guy you know? 17:10, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
