Your contributed article, WWW Method of addresses

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, WWW Method of addresses. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as yourself. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Uniform Resource Identifier. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will to continue helping improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Uniform Resource Identifier - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, 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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. — Timneu22 · talk 14:54, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why your articles are getting deleted

Hi. Wikipedia articles need to be more than just a line or two; they need to be about something notable, and what they say needs to be verifiable from reliable sources. This is all explained in Wikipedia:Your first article; please read that before you write any more articles. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 16:00, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Intelligence, Surveilance Society

A tag has been placed on Intelligence, Surveilance Society 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 an organization or company, 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 organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

Reliable sources and notability

According to your note at Talk:Intelligence, Surveilance Society, you were going to get information from the organization. There are several problems with this:

If there is no information available from reliable third-party sources, it indicates that the organization is not notable according to WP:NOTE. Also, self-sourced material fails WP:RS, Wikipedia's policy on reliable sourcing, as well as WP:V verifiability. If nobody has taken notice of an organization in the media, it is not eligible for inclusion. Acroterion _(talk) 16:47, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Categories in userspace

I've removed categories from the cut/paste Wikipedia help articles in your userspace, as only the main article should appear in the category. In general, it's simpler to just link to the main articles, ensuring that it's up-to-date. There's no reason to keep them in userspace unless you're working on a rewrite to those policies. If you have no need for them, I will delete them for you. Acroterion _(talk) 20:37, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

About your RfA...

It will fail, if you choose to continue with it. 99.9% of admin candidates have at least 4000 edits and have been actively editing for at least 6 months. Not to say that you won't ever become an admin, but you should understand what they do and get more experience, first. /ƒETCH COMMS / 00:26, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Stephenj642

Hi Stephenj642. I noticed you created a Requests for Adminship page some time ago; I was wondering as to what the status of that request might be. I think it's fair to warn you that new users are rarely successful at RfA and that the Wikipedia editing community sets very high standards for editors running for adminship. That being said, I strongly urge you to read Wikipedia:Guide to requests for adminship, User:Davidwr/Administration is not for new users, and Wikipedia:Not now, and ask you to reconsider whether you really do wish to go through with your candidacy; please understand that you stand very little to no chance of passing RfA at this point and that you are strongly discouraged from running for adminship. If you are still intent on running for adminship with that request and are absolutely positive this is what you want, please do let me know; otherwise, I'll go ahead and delete the RfA page for you in about a week or so from today.
