Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page NewBlue has been reverted. Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam 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. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): \byoutube\.com (links: http://www.youtube.com/user/newbluefx). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file. Video links are also strongly deprecated by our guidelines for external links, partly because they're useless to people with slow internet connections. 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 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) 04:20, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Notability of NewBlue
The article NewBlue has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article, which appeared to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, did 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 indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. —C.Fred (talk) 04:27, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Notability of NewBlue, and what to do about it
The article NewBlue has been deleted twice, and your third recreation today (5/29/2009) is likely to get deleted too.

Part of the problem is that it lacks reliable and verifiable sources to establish notability of a company. Currently, the sources are something that may be a press release, a blog about a previous company by the president, and a FAQ about a previous company. They aren't terribly reliable sources, and they don't establish notability of NewBlue. This needs to be solved- I'd suggest copying the page to your userspace and improving it until it is ready to meet Wikipedia's guidelines.

Finally, keep in mind wikipedia's policy on conflict of interest strongly recommends you state your COI with an article, if you have one. tedder (talk) 05:41, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks Tedder — I'll provide these references. And I've stated my COI on the Talk page — disclosure upfront! --Torley (talk) 05:45, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

(note we traded messages- do you mind if I paste your note here?)

In response to you, just because another article isn't up to spec isn't reason to include this one. What is really needed is reliable mainstream sources talking about NewBlue. If you don't think you can find them immediately, userifying the page is a good route- that way you won't get hassled.

Having said that, welcome! Your enthusiasm is appreciated, I hope none of this is construed otherwise. (and reply HERE, so we can keep things in the same place.) tedder (talk) 05:49, 30 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Edit conflict, so this is a reply that will get posted that the same time. I hadn't seen the COI- sorry. As I said above, your enthusiasm is certainly welcome. Having said all this, I'm off wiki for ~18 hours. Looking forward to working with you. tedder (talk) 05:49, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't mind at all! And take care — I appreciate your time and care helping improve this. Added references from 3rd-party trade publications, well-respected sources in the video industry. --Torley (talk) 06:03, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Torley. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article NewBlue, you may have a conflict of interest.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Widefox ; talk 10:21, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:NewBlueFX Logo.png
Thanks for uploading File:NewBlueFX Logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:29, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
