User talk:Spideygoturback
NiktheStoned[edit]
The message is actually on your page. Let me copy it here.
How you been nik? I've been working on the riskval page in my userspace and am coming close to finishing a first draft. I scoured the net for third party resources and wrote it in a neutral perspective. Reading through the requirements for organizations I tried to follow all of the guidelines but I'd appreciate if you could review the top and history section to make sure I'm doing everything alright. I'm still working on the product section but those will only be 1-2 sentences each so they shouldn't be problematic. Let me know what you think. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Spideygoturback/RiskVal As always, spidey still got your back. Spideygoturback (talk) 19:37, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
Heya. RE: this article, I see you are adding references directly to the references section. This is now how this should be done... References should be added in support of statements within the main text itself, as I did with the first one you supplied. This is to satisfy Wikipedia's verifiability policy. Check out this guide on in-line citations if the single example in the article doesn't sufficiently show how this is done. Cheers, Nikthestoned 14:39, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for the heads up Nik! Right now I'm just aggregating all the information I need on these guys to write the article later since I don't have much time this morning. I did notice though that you fixed up the first link that I posted really quick. Is there a quick way to convert links into wiki-standard cited references? Also before I even started writing the article I read up on notability. There is plenty of reason to have this company included on Wikipedia, but are the three articles like these sufficient for the notability requirements? Spideygoturback (talk) 14:51, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, there is a way. I use a tool called Reflinks. It converts <ref>www.foo.com</ref> into a proper Cite Web template. This page has a bookmarklet you can just drag into your bookmarks so you can just click that and it processes the refs properly. This prevents WP:Linkrot which is a Bad Thing™! I'd leave the notability tag there for now until you're done with the first proper draft of the article, it's somewhat difficult to tell with the article currently being so short. By the way, did you read WP:N or WP:CORP? The latter is more appropriate for your article. Cheers, Nikthestoned 15:04, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
- Oh, and to leave a talkbacktiny template, all you need add to someone's userpage is {{subst:tbt}} and it will substitute in your user name / signature etc =) 15:05, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Draft articles[edit]
Hi again. Saw the comment you added re: the speedy deletion of your article. Thought you may like to know that you can create draft articles in your own userspace which you can work on at your leisure (so long as you don't infringe any copyright or turn the page into an advert) to build up a credible case for notability etc. You could simply stick it on your userpage or, as a subpage like this: User:Spideygoturback/Draft1. Nikthestoned 08:19, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
- I appreciate all the help Nik. You're really making this whole process much easier for me. One thing: I don't see the point of the {newpage} tag at all if they'd rather have it drafted in userspace. It makes complete sense to have drafts there but then why even have the option of a newpage tag that gives the illusion that I'd be safe drafting in the full space of wiki? Whatever. I was ignored and my stuff wasn't userfied but it wasn't much. Most of the time I had spent on it was learning so it's easy to redo now that I know what's going on. I appreciate all your help :D
- No worries Spidey. The {{newpage}} tag is for people who have created many-an-article before and are actively engaged in putting it together... It's not really for your purposes. Given this is your first article it's going to take you longer to get it put together, to ensure it's not removed for the same reason you need to make sure it meets these notability requirements before moving it into Wikipedia-a-proper. Also, when posting on a talk page you should do so right at the bottom! Cheers, Nikthestoned 08:40, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
- Also, any reason you chose that admin to request the userfy? From his contributions it looks like he's not been online for a while - probably why you've yet to receive a response! User:Tyrol5 actually processed the deletion, they should be able to help you out! Nikthestoned 08:58, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
- This is embarrassing but I can't find the previous userfy request I wrote or the admin I wrote it to. I the page that lists people who can do that and I didn't see Tyrol there so I just picked some random admins. Out of the first three I clicked he had the most recent activity so I picked him haha. I'll write him the request after lunch but let me know if you can help me locate the original request I wrote. Thank you Spideygoturback (talk) 15:16, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
- I just checked your Contributions and found it there! I'd always ask it of the person that removed the page; if they won't do it they'll at least know who will! If they've the time to delete it I can't see restoring it being an issue. RE: The talkback, if you post anything on my talk page I get a big orange bar, so yes, a talkback template (or update of any sort!) is def. the best way to get my attention =) Nikthestoned 15:24, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
- But you don't get a message just because I replied to your message on MY Talk page right? ie. you won't see this unless you decide to look on my page without any type of notice on your page.Spideygoturback (talk) 15:29, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

FW: Proposed deletion of RiskVal[edit]
The article RiskVal has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Negligible evidence of notability. In a WP:BEFORE, I can find only the one RS listed, and the rest is press releases and passing mentions. Article appears to have been created and maintained by promotional SPAs and IPs.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
