[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the external links you added to the page Electronic commerce do not comply with our guidelines for external links. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Versageek 00:00, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
The article CommerceHelper has been 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. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Please stop. If you continue to ignore our policies by introducing inappropriate pages, such as CommerceHelper, to Wikipedia, you will be blocked. Kuru talk 00:39, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
This is your last warning. The next time you use Wikipedia for advertising, as you did with CommerceHelper, you will be blocked from editing. — Coren (talk) 01:03, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
I am a noob, what am I doing wrong?
[edit]I'm only providing verifiable factual and objective information like many other companies listed in the internal links I'm referencing?!—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Commercehelper (talk • contribs).
- You would appear to be adding promotional material for your business. Please read our conflict of interest guidelines ASAP. Kuru talk 01:08, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
- Well, there is the obvious conflict of interest (as Kuru said), which is a problem. Also, the article reads like advertisement and makes no claim to verifiable notability. Those are all fatal. — Coren (talk) 01:10, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
- I diagree as there is no sales Jargon, links to data sources and objective copy. I appreciate the edits of course and only want to obey the rules, but I using other business profiles as a guideline, is it because they are bigger or publicly traded? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Commercehelper (talk • contribs).
- You've created, and re-created, a very simple sales pitch with information such as "Ready when YOU want or need it, you don't pay for it until you turn it on. We abhor hodge-podge "Frankenstein" user interfaces: on-demand software features should look like they belong with the resto of the screen when you decide to turn them on." The "objective" source you mention is the WHOIS site dump? Some notable and independent coverage will be needed. You can read our policies at Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). Please do not add any more links or re-create the article about your company until you can correct these issues. If I can assist you with reading these policies, please let me know. Kuru talk 01:26, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
- Those issues were fixed already, I suppose I should get my content more refined offline before adding. Can you review the last version I made?
- The above observations were made from your last version (00:58, 21 July 2007). No reliable sources, mostly adcopy. Again, due to the conflict of interest, it may not be advisable for you to write about your own company. Kuru talk 01:38, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
I've read it and do not see a conflict of interest.
[edit]Can you please explain your reasoning?
A little help please?

- Please read the notability guidelines. Those will give you the reasons in great detail. You may also want to read the conflict of interest and promotional material guidelines. — Coren (talk) 02:00, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
On-demand software
[edit]A {{prod}} template has been added to the article On-demand software, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (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. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. — Coren (talk) 03:33, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
