Contesting speedy deletion
[edit]I need help. I am trying to create an information page like ones made for LabVantage, Kleenex, and etc...
How do I know what is considered neutral or promotional? Can someone point me out to guidelines? Thanks.
I do have permission from LabVantage to post this up. I will have them send you an email to confirm. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Limsmaster (talk • contribs) 21:50, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
- Hi, Limsmaster. I removed the information you posted in the article because in addition to being a copyvio, it mostly contained promotional content that does not belong on Wikipedia. I have rewritten the article with multiple reliable sources, so this article will not be deleted. If you have any suggestions of what to add to this article, please suggest them here since you appear to have a conflict of interest with this company. Cunard (talk) 22:36, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
The article sounds like coming straight out of the LabVantage prospectus. Business rhetoric such as 'most advanced technology' or 'thrusts company to become number one', 'opened market to all continents except Antarctica' should not be used in the Wikipedia. I vote for total rewrite or deletion.38.122.126.58 (talk) 15:26, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Page moved to Labvantage. Vegaswikian (talk) 00:20, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
LabVantage Solutions → LABVANTAGE® Solutions —
- This is a LIMS provider that has changed its product and company name. Limsmaster (talk) 00:05, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
- Oppose. Per our guidelines on trademarks, we should follow standard English text formatting and capitalization rules, regardless of the preference of trademark owners. If anything, it should be "Labvantage" (only the "L" is capitalized). Zzyzx11 (talk) 16:40, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
- Oppose a move to LABVANTAGE® Solutions per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (trademarks).
Support a move to Labvantage per Zzyzx11's arguments. Cunard (talk) 00:41, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Updates for 2022
[edit]![]() | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Hi editors: I'm new to Wikipedia and created a user page at https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/User:Fuhrsd. I'm wondering if I can start to submit updated suggested edits to the current LabVantage page that brings it up to speed? They've had a lot of developments in recent years and I think we can offer some further definitions that can really help visitors and researchers understand and connect with the laboratory management area even more. Specifically, I'm wondering if I can start submitting sections one at a time here in my personal Sandbox section for you to review to restructure the current page into a series of scannable sections for the reader/researcher, starting with an Introduction section? And then moving on to additional sections, such as Company, Platform, LIMS/LIS, ELN, LES, SDMS, Services, and History? Our goal is not to be promotional - just factual - and we've tried to mirror the language and structure after similar software company listings we see on Wikipedia. I've published a first take at that first new section for the page, called Intro, at my personal sandbox (https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=User:Fuhrsd/sandbox&action=edit&redlink=1&preload=Template%3AUser+sandbox%2Fpreload?) for review prior to me submitting it to the actual LabVantage page, to make sure I'm on the right track. Thank you! Fuhrsd (talk) 14:11, 12 May 2022 (UTC)https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/User:Fuhrsd
- @Fuhrsd: Your proposed edit starts:
LabVantage Solutions, Inc. provides browser-based laboratory informatics solutions...
I recommend you read WP:SOLUTION. This is an essay, not a Wikipedia policy, but it contains useful advice to avoid terms that really provide little meaning and serve only as promotional tools. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:14, 12 May 2022 (UTC)- @Fuhrsd: You are more than welcome to submit proposals using the request edit template. After looking at your proposal in your sandbox, I have declined to add it in because it is uncited. Usually, an article's body is written first, then the lede can be written as a summary of the information included in the body of the article. Z1720 (talk) 00:59, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
- Hi User:Z1720 - thank you for the information, and I also looked over User:WikiDan61's recommendation to read Wikipedia:SOLUTION. I edited my sandbox ((https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=User:Fuhrsd/sandbox&action=edit&redlink=1&preload=Template%3AUser+sandbox%2Fpreload?) update for the Intro section and resubmitted it again for consideration after removing all instances of "solution" and replacing them with "software" as perhaps a better description. Also, my proposed copy does have references built-in as hyperlinks - the following terms are hyperlinked directly to Wikipedia's own definition pages for those terms: Electronic lab notebook (Electronic lab notebook); Laboratory information management system (Laboratory information management system); Laboratory informatics (Laboratory informatics); Artificial intelligence (Artificial intelligence); Machine learning (Machine learning); and Predictive analytics (Predictive analytics). Please advise if these edits would qualify the proposed Intro update if copied from the sandbox and submitted to the LabVantage Wikipedia page. Thank you! Fuhrsd (talk) 16:09, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
