License tagging for Image:Paris and others 027.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Paris and others 027.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 18:09, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Please do not add commercial material to Wikipedia, as you did to Jean machine. While objective prose about products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Thank you. Coren 01:37, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Hello.

Strictly speaking, I didn't delete your article but simply tagged it for deletion by an admin. In that particular case, it was Akradecki who deleted the article. You may ask him or her to undelete it, or bring the case to the deletion review.

But before you do that, I would recommend that you read the notability guidelines for corporations and companies and the the policies on spam. Wikipedia editors (me included) are very unforgiving of using the encyclopedia for promotion or advertising purposes, and anything that even slightly looks like spam tends to be deleted with extreme prejudice.

From what I remember of the article, you might be able to get it restored as one of your subpages (so that you have it available), but it would need extensive rewriting before it would be accepted as an encyclopedic. You will need to establish why that company is notable enough to have an article, supported by independent, reliable sources.

Yes, there are articles that do not currently fit the guidelines. Often, those will get a review once an editor notices. Sometimes they will squeak by because of brand recognizability (which, arguably, is an argument to notability anyways). The fact that articles not fitting the guidelines exist, however, is never a good argument to keep another.

A few more notes:
When you want to leave a message to a user, you should leave it on his or her talk page, and not on the userpage. Editing a userpage is very often taken as vandalism, or at the very least a fairly rude gesture. (I've moved your message from my user page to my talk page). You can reach a talk page by using the discussion link/tab from the user page.

Also, when you leave a message on a talk page, you should always sign your message by ending it with four tildes (like this: ~ . This puts your name and the time and date of your message so that it is properly attributed (and much easier to reply to).

Have fun editing, and don't take initial rejections of one of your contribution to heart. All of us work to make this a good encyclopedia. Coren 21:04, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
