User talk:Tris Dyson

Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on. Again, welcome! -- moe.RON   Let's talk  16:39, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Just Add Spice
A tag has been placed on Just Add Spice 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 a company or corporation, 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

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), 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. -- moe.RON   Let's talk  16:39, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * "'parent' organisations the Young Foundation and the University of Wales, Newport are both included on wikipedia"? Perhaps; but notability is not inherited. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  14:36, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * If you're going to assert notability, you need to provide references from impartial third parties. A report from the University of Wales on a University of Wales Newport project doesn't qualify. Where is the coverage in the national press? In books, journals, etc.? -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  22:52, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
 * How many tonnes of government reports on organizations like these would you like? Will you pay shipping? Please? One of the natural products of governments is "file and forget" reports. We need more visible coverage, in the print media, scholarly journals, etc. Does that exist? -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  16:54, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * If the project is so notable, why hasn't anybody without a conflict of interest tried to write anything about it? -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  17:24, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

By the way, If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam); and,
 * 4) avoid breaching relevant 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 conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  17:24, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Hi, Tris Dyson, I would just like to second Orangemike's caution about conflict of interest. The guidelines are necessary to ensure that the information in Wikipedia is neutral and verifiable. Thank you. Drawn Some (talk) 17:00, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
