User talk:TD01

I came across a page - Synermaxx - which appears to be an advert. I have no idea how to deal with this. Advice assistance please?

You can tag advertisement-like pages with {{advertisement}} and/or {{prod}} them for deletion. You can also tag them for speedy deletion if they satisfy the criteria.—WAvegetarian•(talk) 10:08, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It was a copyright violation (cut and paste) from the company's website. I've marked it for speedy deletion. If you come across something that looks like an advert, it is usually copyvio. WP:COPY gives you all the details on how to handle suspected copyright violations. If you check and can't find a source web page, it might be original wording but still an advert. In that case, check to see if the company meets WP:CORP or WP:WEB criteria. If it does, then the company is notable and the article should stay, although it might need some work to tone down the ad-speak. If the company doesn't meet the appropriate criteria for notability and the article isn't blatant copyvio, then you can list the article for deletion at WP:AfD. I know that's a lot to digest all at once, but once you've gone through that process a few times it becomes second nature and quite fast. Thank you for pointing out that article. Happy editing!

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer be able to have them marked as minor by default. For more information on what a minor edit is, see WP:MINOR or feel to get in touch.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 22:47, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
