Passmore Lab
I did not propose the deletion of PassmoreLab. I tagged it for it to be wikified, but the person after me is who proposed the deletion. KING OF WIKIPEDIA - GRIM LITTLEZ (talk) 23:41, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Welcome!

Why it might look like an ad
I saw your question on another talk page. I'm not the person who tagged it, but I have some feedback. I took a look at the article you started and it reminds me of a resume. It would be good to get it away from that feel and towards the feel of an encyclopedia article.

I thought it might help you if you looked at some articles that are highly rated to see examples of encyclopedia-style writing. (Many articles have ratings on their talk pages, and the best have a symbol on the top right corner of the actual article.) Any article marked as a "good article" or a "featured article" would be a good model for your writing. I'll give you some random examples of good or featured articles about companies or people involved in film making. Cloveapple (talk) 07:45, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Scene7
 * Delrina
 * Pixar
 * Diane Keaton
 * André Morell

Thanks so much! I appreciate the feedback and will take a look at these examples. Would you happen to know who tagged my article for removal though? I'm new to Wikipedia and can't seem to figure it out.

Also, thanks for your contributions!
 * You're welcome. It is confusing to find your way around here sometimes. I'm still learning myself. The person who marked it for proposed deletion was RHaworth. You can see who did what to an article by looking at the history. (History tab is at the top of the article, along with the discussion tab.) Here's the edit where he marked it for "proposed deletion".


 * By the way each time you edit an article there's a field to fill in called an "edit summary." It's best to always put a brief note explaining your edit. That way anyone who looks at the history page will know what is going on. If you can't explain your edit in a brief note then just write "see talk page" and put an explanation on the article's talk/discussion page. I'd also suggest hitting the "watch" link on any article or talk page you are interested in. That will make all edits to the page show up on your own personal "my watch list."

Your recent edits
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 17:31, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

PassmoreLab
I appreciate that you asked me to look in on the article. I invite you to look in on my progress to see hoe I combined duplicated material and set the "lists" into prose format. Further, I invite you to study how I modified your inline external links and converted the to inline citations. For future contributions, I encourage you to study WP:Reliable sources so as to better understand what Wikipedia accepts as a suitable source, and WP:Citing sources to see how to best prsent them in an article. And too, please study WP:Tone to see how Wikipedia requires articles to be neutral so as to avoid and use of hyperbole that may not seem neutral to our readres. Essentially, the information should be verifiable in reliable sources and the information as presented should be as formal in style and tone as you might expect to find in Britanica.

 * Thanks so much for the help! You're a lifesaver.  I'll check out the links you suggested, get more familiar with Wikipedia, and continue revising the article and please jump in at any time and do so as well.  All the best.wenchiac 20:38, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Hi. I'd be glad to help, but I'm not sure what "sponsor" means. Anyway, it looks like PassmoreLabs has gotten really built up with a lot of citations so I guess it is no longer in danger!--Farpointer (talk)` —Preceding undated comment added 21:22, 8 July 2011 (UTC).
 * The way I've seen it used, a "sponsor" is somebody who volunteers to go over an article that somebody close to the subject has worked on. That way at least one person who has a little distance from the subject of an article has looked it over and worked to be sure it has a neutral point of view. (For example if I wrote an article about my dad or my boss I'd certainly need somebody to give it a good going over. because no matter how careful I was I couldn't be sure I'd gotten the tone and balance right.)Cloveapple (talk) 22:44, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Ditto. Exactly what I meant by that.wenchiac 23:35, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
