Welcome!

Hello, Stuartmilljohn, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as E-Excellence, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

Proposed deletion of E-Excellence


The article E-Excellence has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Non-notable neologism.

While all 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. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of EMF - The Forum of e-Excellence


A tag has been placed on EMF - The Forum of e-Excellence 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 an organization or company, 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.

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; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 17:18, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Nomination of E-Excellence for deletion
A discussion has begun about whether the article E-Excellence, which you created or to which you contributed, should be deleted. While contributions are welcome, an article may be deleted if it is inconsistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines for inclusion, explained in the deletion policy.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/E-Excellence until a consensus is reached, and you are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

You may edit the article during the discussion, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 17:20, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with EMF-the Forum of e-Excellence. Please use the template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion, and make your case on the page's talk page. Thank you. JamesBWatson (talk) 17:40, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

E-Excellence
You recently added a comment to Talk:E-Excellence regarding why the article should be kept. Since that article has been nominated for deletion, you should direct any comments regarding that matter to Articles for deletion/E-Excellence. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 17:42, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page E-Excellence has been reverted. Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://twitter.com/#!/EMFeexcellence. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest). If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 10:54, 9 December 2010 (UTC)


 * @EEng|EEng: I am positively appalled by the tone in use in this forum! Some people here really seem to believe that they are the mind police... I have no problem admitting that I made a contribution in which I have a special interest. However, it is also of interest to a wide community of people and having an article published in Wikipedia on the European Seal of e-Excellence will not engender any "gain" for me, nor for the 2 dozen not-for-profit organisations that support it. Are you accusing other NGOs (not to mention the thousands of commercial companies that have a Wikipedia entry) in the same way when they publish information about their activities???
 * Sorry for the misunderstanding on my part. However, the article seemed indistinguishable from any number of vague commercial neologisms being promoted.  When e-Excellence gains some traction then it will be time to have an article about it, making clear its noncommercial benefits. EEng (talk) 14:44, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
