Regarding your creation of Cleverline
Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you may want to do. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. --Fire Star 火星 05:04, 21 June 2007 (UTC)


 * It has already been deleted. Any article that includes the line "I am unaware exactly what they are, as the website is in their country's language" isn't going to last very long. --Fire Star 火星 05:16, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello, welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Our intro page contains a lot of helpful material for new users - please check it out! If you need help, visit Questions or place   on this page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Unfortunately, however, a tag has been placed on Cable Turtle, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you feel that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add  on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) 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 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. -- slakr 05:08, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to ignore our policies by introducing inappropriate pages, such as Cable Turtle, to Wikipedia, you will be blocked. slakr 05:16, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Greetings
My advice would be to work on any article you want to create in the Sandbox before posting it to our article space. As you've seen, such a small, unattested article is rapidly deleted. If it has more meat on its bones (i.e. more complete, not a seed, a plant) then it will stand a better chance.

Here are a few good links for newcomers:
 * The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style
 * If you're ready for the complete list of Wikipedia documentation, there's also Topical index.

Good luck! --Fire Star 火星 05:26, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you Fire Star

"I found this item. I just started my research on them, but ws looking for more. I thought that if I put it on Wikipedia, others would contribute and it would have more body. They are a product tha tis worldwide. It used as a cable organizer...over a million a year are sold on websites (cableorganizer.com, cableturtle.co.uk, ebay stores, etc). They have been around for roughly 10 years and have won many awards and are in the NY museum of art. I know this is a seed, but really believe that this product should be on wikipedia."
