Regulations for hard hats

The article you added to Wikipedia was an advertisement for a company, OSHA, the content of which was deemed unsuitable by another Wikipedia contributor. Bobo. 20:12, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Regulations for hard hats

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Regulations for hard hats, 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}}. Q ^{T C} 15:27, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi, you can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~~~~

I deleted your recent article because it was apparently an advertisement, via the links for a safety gear company. It also did not provide independent verifiable sources that it met the notability guidelines. The text is non-encyclopaedic, written as a a "how-to" interspersed with chunks of ANSI regulations. (I didn't check what the copyright status of those is) It Jimfbleak. ^{Talk to me.}16:36, 1 August 2007 (UTC)~

You need to rewrite the facts in your own words, bearing in mind that this is an encyclopaedia article and not an instruction booklet. Link to the ANSI regulations, rather than copying them, which gives you an independent reference and avoids copyright issues, although you may want to summarise the main points. Avoid commercial links, unless there is a wide enough range to be clear that it's not an add. You may want to internationalise by including non US sources, such as the UK health and safety executive or other manufacturers, but that's not essential. Jimfbleak 05:45, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Jeff -who needs Beckham anyway? (: Jimfbleak 14:43, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

You can recreate at any time - good luck. Jimfbleak 14:59, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to ignore our policies by introducing inappropriate pages, such as Fall protection, to Wikipedia, you will be blocked. MKoltnow 19:54, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

You have recently recreated or reposted material at Fall protection which previously was deleted in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policies. Please do not recreate this article without prior approval from an administrator or you may be blocked from editing. We ask that you respect what Wikipedia is not. If you disagree with the article's deletion, you may seek an independent deletion review.

This article was deleted yesterday; please do not recreate it with the same content. MKoltnow 19:56, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Fall protection again

Jeff, I had a look at the article, which had been tagged by an editor for speedy deletion, and I decided that it read like an advertisement, and would have taken some considerable time to fix. Therefore, I felt that it was covered by our speedy deletion criteria general 11, and deleted it accordingly. Please note that this has nothing to do with the copyright status of the material (criterion general 12), an issue which you had indeed addressed. If you would like to have my decision reviewed, and perhaps overturned, the Wikipedia:Deletion review page is the place. Should you have any problems with the process there - and the instructions can be a bit cryptic - please let me know and I'll try to help. Best regards, Angus McLellan (Talk) 20:52, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

What I'm saying is that the article read like an advert or press release. Whether that was intentional I have no idea, but I wasn't the only person who thought so. Best regards, Angus McLellan (Talk) 21:11, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

August 2007

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Hard Hat. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

re: gas detectors

It helps to leave an actual link so that people can figure out what you are talking about. I believe the edit you are referring to is this one[1] which was actually made by MKoltnow and not myself. However, I can still help you with your question. GFDL compliance is met by the contents of the talk page and the article's edit history. That link is not needed to maintain GFDL compliance and is inappropriate per our external link guidelines. Thanks. -- JLaTondre 18:03, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
