Welcome

Welcome!

Hello, Cookiz1, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Eyeka, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Speedy deletion nomination of Eyeka

A tag has been placed on Eyeka, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia for multiple reasons. Please see the page to see the reasons. If the page has since been deleted, you can ask me the reasons by leaving a message on my user talk page.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 14:53, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Eyeka

I caught your note at Talk:Eyeka and am responding here instead of there because the talk page of a deleted page should also be deleted.

Without access to the text of the deleted article I can't provide you with specific reasons as to why I requested deletion, but can only provide general reasons why I tag articles for deletion as "unambiguous advertising/promotion". I should note that ultimately an administrator has the final say when it comes to deleting articles, and I am not an administrator. I identified the article as "unambiguous advertising/promotion" either because it was written from the perspective of telling the readers how great the subject is, or it was written with a great deal of flowery filler words that if removed would have left the article with almost nothing. Another factor here is that the article made no credible claim to meeting the notability criteria for inclusion. In order for an article to remain on Wikipedia, it must contain reliable, independent references that establish the claims made in the article and that it meets the inclusion criteria.

If you would like me to provide specific details as to how the article you contributed met the generalizations I outlined above, please contact user Athaenara (talk · contribs), the administrator who deleted the article, and request that it be "userfied". This means that the article will be placed in your user space, not as an encyclopedia article, but as a draft to be worked on. Pages in user space are subject to considerably less scrutiny from the community than articles, but are still subject to some scrutiny (e.g., no copyright violations or libel) and are not private. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 15:52, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia in Eyeka, User:Cookiz1/Eyeka, or other articles, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. (You may wish to see {{Did you know}} for an indication of the quality of new articles which are accepted on Wikipedia.) Thank you. – Athaenara ✉ 15:48, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
