Notes[edit]

The article you created about yourself and the one about your company (yes, you are Ultra.R.Legos and TankStudios too) have been deleted because the subjects are not notable by Wikipedia standards. See WP:BIO and WP:CORP respectively, and WP:RS (reliable independent sources ) in both cases. I have blocked the TankStudios account as the name appears to represent an organisation. If you decide to edit on subjects other than yourself (see WP:AUTOBIO and WP:COI - conflict of interest), I would advise using the Ultra.R.Legos account as it is more anonymous. Using one's own name is done by many people, but it can cause problems. Peridon (talk) 13:01, 20 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Trials Legends[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Trials Legends, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. - Mr X 13:38, 22 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Brazu Color[edit]

Hello ShaunRoselt,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Brazu Color for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Jennie Matthews 97 (talk) 21:54, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hoërskool Jim Fouché[edit]

Hi Shaun: Thanks for adding information to this article, but please don't put in names; only officers' names are encyclopedic. (The rest is going to change every year, and the people might not like the publicity anyway). What we could really use for that article is references; can you find any mentions in the press, especially documentation of its academic and sports record? Thanks for understanding!

Shaun, that page was promotional both in language and in its total lack of external sources. Have a look at this summary of the requirements for a Wikipedia article - yes, people may well find such a thing useful, but you found it by Googling and so can they. For Wikipedia's purposes, notability is defined in terms of independent reliable sources having covered it. Now, if you can find two or three extended reviews in computer journals - that are not interviews with the creator and not press releases - then it can probably have an article; but the article cannot say "This is great!" in any way. Just the facts.

Also ... your version was extremely similar to an earlier version of the same article that was deleted a month ago as a copyvio. That version was by Delphi Freak. You both need to note that copyright violation is a serious matter. Wikipedia is publication. We cannot use others' words. Summarize the essential point in your own words - very brief quotations, in quotation marks or as indented blockquotes, are ok but the less copying and pasting, the better; that's also how to make the wording neutral and encyclopedic. See this essay. Further, I note that you have edited a draft article in Delphi Freak's userspace, so I have to ask - is that account also yours? If yes, you should put a statement on both the user or user talk pages and it would be better to limit yourself to one account. If not, you may still want to make some sort of statement that you are different people, because the suspicion is going to keep arising if you continue to edit the same articles in similar ways.

Sources and notabilty[edit]

Hi Shaun: Good to see you working on improving the school article again. But you've been told before that you aren't notable enough to be added to famous alumni lists, lists of programmers, or anywhere else on Wikipedia, until you've had multiple newspaper or magazine articles or news segments dedicated to you by independent reliable media. And you need sources. Adding "citation needed" for your own addition doesn't cut it. You are best placed to dig up a newspaper article on the Programming Olympiad and how students in your city did; plus it's your responsibility when you add the material. So go find a ref for that. As to the alumni, Leon Schuster is eligible to be listed, but only with a reference documenting that he went to the school and/or taught there (the article on him also badly needs references). Annelize van der Ryst-Hatting needs an article first, and a reference documenting that she went to the school. Are you sure you've spelled her name right? Remember, refs don't have to be in Ebnglish - Afrikaans will do fine. Yngvadottir (talk) 13:20, 11 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Shaun, where are those references for the Programming Olympiad? Surely some newspaper has covered it. Once more, references do not have to be in English. They don't even have to be online: just give us the author if any, article title, name of the newspaper, and date. Yngvadottir (talk) 04:54, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for October 27[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited South African Computer Olympiad, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Free State. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:10, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:JimFouche Hoerskool Skoolhoof.jpg[edit]

Your draft article, Draft:Programming - Source Code Helper[edit]

Hello, ShaunRoselt. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled "Programming - Source Code Helper".

The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by one of two methods (don't do both): 1) follow the instructions at WP:REFUND/G13, or 2) copy this code: {{subst:Refund/G13|Draft:Programming - Source Code Helper}}, paste it in the edit box at this link, and click "Save page". An administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. HasteurBot (talk) 08:00, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
