Speedy deletion nomination of The Mahoning Valley Steel Company

Hello Rocketpipe,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged The Mahoning Valley Steel Company for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

SamHolt6 (talk) 05:40, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

Yeah. no. I presume if your intent was advertising, you would have used more current info than 100ya. I've declined the speedy deletion and rewrote to past tense. -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 05:51, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

Thanks, I always intended further work on the page to bring the quality up. Speedy deletion seems a bit harsh. Is the some way to mark a page a "work in progress".

You could move it to Draft space. There is less community exposure so less help available, but it is also lees likely to be tagged for deletion. -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 20:13, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

June 2023

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Laws of association, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Nobody (talk) 06:09, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

thanks for the comment, but i would like to understand how the insertion violated the style guide so i can fix it. The source of a comment in the existing page is very weak, so i included the part of the source that was referenced in the existing page. Is there a way to do it that meets the style guide? Rocketpipe (talk) 14:50, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

You added content after the reference section, per MOS:ORDER Article content should be before the appendices (references). Also if you quote something you should add an inline citation, See Help:Referencing for beginners for help with that. Nobody (talk) 15:58, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
