Dauphine Press[edit]

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Dauphine Press, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Navou ^banter / _contribs 19:59, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I actually just removed the PROD on the article. I see you are still working on it. Keep up the good work! Navou ^banter / _contribs 20:00, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:Ventianjournal.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Ventianjournal.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:

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 Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 20:28, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Dauphine Press[edit]

A tag has been placed on Dauphine Press, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Pan Dan 22:45, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dauphine Press[edit]

A tag has been placed on Dauphine Press, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does 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 assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Pan Dan 17:22, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

moved from Talk:Dauphine Press[edit]

I do NOT believe this page should be deleted as it is simply and clearly stating the mere facts of this company's existence, services, and location -- no less or more than say the listing for Dick Blick art supplies, which does not present an article full of "gusto" about art supplies and the companies that provide them! Deleting this page would not be justified as Wikipedia is full of articles regarding companies, their services, and their locations -- indeed, deleting this page would imply a double-standard at work at Wikipedia.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Peachapple (talk • contribs)

There is no double standard. What we need to write a neutral encyclopedia article are sources independent of this company that discuss it in depth. If you can provide such sources, the article will likely not be speedy deleted. However, if you have a conflict of interest, please do not write about this company on Wikipedia. Pan Dan 17:40, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please advise how this article could be anymore neutral than the facts stated.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Peachapple (talk • contribs)

Simply including these facts in Wikipedia is non-neutral if these facts have not been noted in sources independent of this company. Again, to avoid deletion, please provide independent sources if they exist, and if you do not have a conflict of interest. Please take a look at the notability criteria for companies. Pan Dan 18:14, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There are independent sources not only citing the existence of Dauphine Press, but lauding them in such publications as PAPERCITY, MODERN BRIDES, IN STYLE, BRIDES, and COMMUNICATION ARTS. Moreover, there is a featured piece conerning them on CBS NEWS (http://www.dauphinepress.com/pdf/cbs-stocking-stuffers.gif). How can these sources be used without being pigeonholed as advertising or as having a conflict of interest?— Preceding unsigned comment added by Peachapple (talk • contribs)

The CBS link is not about this company and there is nothing there that we can use to write an encyclopedia article. Please remember Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. We need in-depth coverage from independent sources. On conflict of interest: this has nothing to do with sources. It has to do with the nature of your connection to this company. Regardless of whether this company passes our criteria, I emphasize again that you should not write about this company in Wikipedia if you have a conflict of interest.

Orphaned non-free image (Image:PCDIseal.gif)[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:PCDIseal.gif. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 06:13, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

September 2009[edit]

Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content, as you did to Ashworth College. Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. If it is a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If the page has been vandalized, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please edit the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. Alan (talk) 22:27, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting it into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other articles that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.
