 * Hi. If the content was original, it would likely be OK to keep.  Problem was, it read as if it was a cut-and-paste and was promotional in nature as well.  You were off on the right foot by citing your sources, though.  The best advice I can give would be to direct you to WP:YFA which will help with a first article and its layout.  You're also more than welcome to ask me or other users for help as well.  Good luck and I hope this helps.  --PMDrive1061 (talk) 16:11, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

If the content was indeed your own, then there's no copyright problem...but there may be a conflict of interest. What I'll do is to create a user subpage for you with the most recent version. It's still in the deletion logs. This will give you the opportunity to work on the article at your own pace without fear of deletion. I'll let you know when I do. :) --PMDrive1061 (talk) 17:05, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

There isn't any sort of deadline here, so there's no real hurry to get it online. Tell you what: I'll do that subpage right now. You'll have it by the time you get this note. PMDrive1061 (talk) 20:38, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

OK, you're set: User:Tivona schneider/Epoxy moisture control system. My suggestion would be to review a few pages, namely WP:COI, WP:MOS and WP:YFA. You are certainly free to ask me for help as well. PMDrive1061 (talk) 01:48, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Why Was My Article Deleted?
That's the question you are probably asking yourself right now. Well, there are a couple reasons your article could have been deleted.


 * 1) It may not have met the General notability guideline.  This is the guideline that all articles must meet before they can be included on Wikipedia.
 * 2) It may not have been notable.  If a subject isn't notable, it isn't included.  Your little brother's garage rock band with 5 fans isn't notable, but Metallica...that's notable.
 * 3) It may not have been verifiable.  If an article doesn't have several third-party reliable sources, it can be deleted as original research.
 * 4) It may have been advertising.  Any page about a company of any sort must meet strict guidelines so it isn't considered advertisting.  A page about the local quickie-mart is probably advertising and also probably not notable.


 * We welcome articles written as part of school assigments. Note that if your article is part of a school project, it must still meet our requirements. It might be useful for your project to be registered at the School and university projects WikiProject, and you can look there for some help specifically with your school-related project.

To create an article, first, please read WP:FIRST. This page is about creating your first article. Then get all the information you can on the subject. Create the article first in userspace (on a subpage of your userpage) so it won't get deleted before you are finished. Add all the information, references, reliable sources and more to the page. Make sure it meets the General notability guideline. If you aren't sure, ask an admin, they will be glad to help. Then move it to where you want it in mainspace (on the Wikipedia). From there, keep it updated with pertinent updated information, so the article doesn't become stale. When in doubt with anything, ask the Help desk or an admin. Hope this helps...

 * It's a great start, but it's going to need a bit of cleanup and wiki markup. Since this site is aimed at a general audience, the style has to be a bit less technical.  I can go through it for you if you'd like.  That should give you a better idea of the required style, outlined here.  Ditto your other contribution; I'd originally deleted it as a posible copyright infringement.  We're making great progress, so let's keep it up.  :)  --PMDrive1061 (talk) 16:27, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
