Welcome!
Hello, Dalcanale, 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, like WQIN, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.
You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Speedy deletion nomination of WQIN
[edit]A tag has been placed on WQIN, 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 an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Links
[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, 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. [1] --Ronz (talk) 15:49, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
re Trying to understand
[edit]Thanks for the message on my talk page. I'm sorry your initial experiences editing Wikipedia has been so frustrating for you. I hope I can shed light on the situation:
New articles are routinely deleted if they don't appear to be on a notable topic. If you can include multiple, independent, reliable sources that demonstrate the topic's notability, then article should not be deleted.Wikipedia:Starting an article covers the topic well. It may be helpful to look through WP:Criteria for speedy deletion to see how and why new articles are quickly deleted.
External links may be deleted for problems with the content of the linked articles or with the contributor's behavior. The behavioral issue is fairly simple: If an editor adds little or nothing to Wikipedia besides external links, or repeatedly adds the same or similar links, the links will most likely be removed regardless of any content issues. See WP:PROMO for details.
WP:EL covers when and what external links are acceptable in regard to their content. In the case of the link you added, it is not a direct link, and the content is a dynamic aggregation. Direct links are preferred, to static articles or pages that we know will always be highly relevant to the article topic.
I hope this clarifies the situation for you. I'm happy to explain in more detail. --Ronz (talk) 16:00, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for the message. Glad I could help. Because no one else is involved, WP:THIRD could be used to get another perspective on the situation. --Ronz (talk) 16:42, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
File permission problem with File:Screenshot-20.png
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Screenshot-20.png. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.
If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Minorax«¦talk¦» 13:21, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:Wqinlogo.png
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Wqinlogo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Salavat (talk) 14:34, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
