User talk:Randomer789

Welcome!

Hello, Randomer789, 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 Easiteach, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, 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:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! ukexpat (talk) 20:37, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of "Easiteach"

A page you created, Easiteach, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is obvious advertising or promotional material.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Thank you. ukexpat (talk) 20:37, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your article

This article you created has a weird history. A few different new accounts have shown up, and edited nothing but that article. So multiple different accounts have repeatedly created the same content, all without sources. This makes it look like one or more people are trying to misuse Wikipedia for advertising purposes. So, if you have more than one account, please stick to just using one. It'll actually improve your chances of adding the content you're trying to add. Also, as I told the other accounts, you're going to need good sources for this article. Let know know if you have any questions. Friday (talk) 20:51, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Help

Could you give me any tips to improve the article. I am sorry about all the misconvenience, I also noticed that several other users had added articles and I can honestly say I have no connection to them. I respect you Friday and the other moderators, but I would just like some help on this page.

Thanks, Randomer789

You already found the page in progress at User:Floptchy/Sandbox. I'd recommend continuing to work on it there until it's ready. That way, nobody will come along and delete it. Has this software gotten significant coverage in reliable third-party sources? That's what you'll need, in order for it to have an article here. We cover only things that have already gotten coverage in other sources. Friday (talk) 20:57, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, lots of primary and high schools have the program, so if they are using them, they should be reliable enough sources. Also how do I put the page back on wikipedia when I have completed the page.

Thanks, Randomer789

You probably want to have a look at Wikipedia:Reliable sources. Here we're an encyclopedia, so we don't do things like calling up schools and asking them what they think of their software. (Here, that approach would be called "original research" and it's not within the scope of Wikipedia.) I was thinking more of magazine articles about the software and things like that. Judging from a quick google, it looks like common enough software, so I suspect such sources probably do exist. Friday (talk) 21:06, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Have you heard of a website called wikispaces? It obviously sounds like wikipedia, so I thought you might know about it. That seems to have some detail about it. Would that be satisfactory for a third party source?

Thanks Randomer789

Ehhh.. A website that any unknown person can create is not generally going to be considered a very reliable source. I've been googling a bit.. it's hard to find because most of the google results are coming from the company that makes the software. Are there educational magazines for example that do software reviews? That would generally be a pretty good source. Friday (talk) 21:18, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I personally remember it being in an educational magazine...but it was a couple of years ago and the review is probably no longer on their website, but it does prove that there is some reviews, I not a kind of person doesn't give upe so I will carry on searching. It is being wanted by several users, so if I can find a reliable source, a few people will be happy. By the way, what happens if I cannot find a source, can it never go on wikipedia?

Thanks Randomer789

Removing Speedy at Easiteach

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Easiteach. Please use the {{hangon}} template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion, and make your case on the page's talk page. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 20:59, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Give me some help please.

I have a page I created called easiteach, it was deleted because I had no reliable 3rd party information to help me explain it so can I get it on wikipedia without the info?

Thanks Randomer789

You can't - you need reliable sources. Also see Wikipedia's policy on notability. If easiteach is a company, this may help as well. Further questions? let me know! Fleetflame 21:31, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have been searching quite a lot and the only source really that is coming is the website of the company itself. If I took information from there, would it count as advertising? Please could you reply to MY talk page.

Thanks Randomer789

I'm afraid it would; you're going to need more sources (hence the "third party"), or the article just can't be on Wikipedia. There are many people who want articles on here, but we can't have them all; we're an encyclopedia. Also, when you ask questions or leave comments, just type four tildes "~~~~" to leave your signature. Thanks! Fleetflame 21:46, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is there anyone who could help me on the project or would I have to do it all myself?

Thanks Randomer789Randomer789 (talk) 21:49, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be willing to help, if you want me to; and you're serious about it and have good information. Fleetflame 01:26, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes definitely, it would be brilliant to get it onto wikipedia.

Thanks Randomer789 (talk) 18:58, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Kim Sears

A tag has been placed on Kim Sears requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

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.

Articles for deletion nomination of Kim Sears

I have nominated Kim Sears, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kim Sears. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Jimmy Skitz's Answer Machine 19:15, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not an admin, Nigel Sears doesn't even have an entry, even if he did his daughter doesn't inherit notability unless she does something to warrant it, otherwise people like Broklyn Beckham would have an article.

also AfD nomination doesn't guarantee deletion, if there is no consensus or the majority vote to keep it will stay, you could always keep a copy here in case she became notable in future and continue to work on it for the occasion.

please understand its nothing personal and I've had some of my own articles deleted in the past, but as that article stands it doesn't show any reason for her to have an entry, you you have evidence of such with citations add them and people will vote to keep. Jimmy Skitz's Answer Machine 19:27, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

May I ask, if your not an admin, what gives you the right to put my article up for deletion? Randomer789 (talk) 19:31, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

you don't have to be an admin, any editor can nominate but only admins can delete them. In fact every time 1 of mine was nominated it was by a fellow user, luckily the articles i tend to start are on footballers so its generally easy to find press coverage of their career.

Its not a question of whether the article is well written or not either, things like that can be fixed with a little time, its a matter of opinions, currently I'm of the opinion that she doesn't meet notability standards at this point in time, that's not to say she never will, its also not the case that people will agree with me, I've seen articles similar to this be voted to be kept as they were well sourced, as yours is. Jimmy Skitz's Answer Machine 19:43, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If articles like this are voted to be kept, why bother putting it up for deletion? Randomer789 (talk) 19:47, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Some are, most are deleted, its rare but I've seen them kept, I take it you are fairly new to Wiki? not a criticism but you don't seem all that familiar with things like AfD Jimmy Skitz's Answer Machine 19:57, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I signed up a week ago. Anyway, if you think the article is not good enough, why not improve it yourself? You are an editor, that is what they do Randomer789 (talk) 20:00, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please understand, its not about quality its about notability, it could be the best written article ever but if it failed WP:Bio it would still be deleted, when you have been on here for longer you will stumble across so articles that are terrible but they meet the standards or notability.

Isn't she notable anyway? Randomer789 (talk) 20:20, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

she may well be but the article doesn't demonstrate that, and that's what is required, but it does need to be more then just being andy murray's girlfriend, that alone doesn't count.

My suggestion would be to google her and look for something else. Jimmy Skitz's Answer Machine 20:28, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think that being Andy Murray's girlfriend is notable enough on its own, he is the third best tennis player in the world for goodness sake! Randomer789 (talk) 20:34, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

that's what makes HIM notable, otherwise we'd have a page for every WAG, whether they are famous in their own right or not, please read WP:Bio, it will help you to understand how Wikipedia works. Jimmy Skitz's Answer Machine 20:38, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Think about Carly Zucker. Who is she? She is Joe Cole's wife. Did anyone know her for anything else before I'm a celebrity, NO, so why can she go on wikipedia and not Kim Sears? Randomer789 (talk) 20:41, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

because her appearance on that show MADE her notable, which is when her article was added. Jimmy Skitz's Answer Machine 20:44, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you aren't happy with the notability, why not look it up yourself? It is your problem, not mine. Randomer789 (talk) 20:49, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have to, I'm not responsible for this article or any other, you seem to be taking this as a personal insult, that isn't the case. I've said all i have to say as we are simply going round in circles. Jimmy Skitz's Answer Machine 20:56, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind...

In reviewing your userpage and your edit history, it's clear that you're the person responsible for a LOT of nonsense edits. I'll ask you please refrain from any further uncostructive editing or your edit privileges are going to be forfeit. Thanks. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 23:12, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Microsoft Windows Help and Support Center

The article Microsoft Windows Help and Support Center has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This article just barely escapes WP:CSD#A3. The article also suffers from lack of notability. Make no mistake; if you search the web, there will be a lot of results, but all refer to it; none of them are articles or critical commentaries on this topic.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
