Speedy deletion nomination of Dynomighty
[edit]Hello Tkelleman,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Dynomighty 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. Kavdiamanju (talk) 03:05, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
- It's sad that there is no way to make suggestions without being the author. My contributions are being wiped from history.
- Many of the links to articles and my interview on CNN are gone from the internet and I was only hoping somehow to preserve my posterity for my kids to know what I did when they are old.
- If there is another way to make suggestions for other editors to recognize my contribution as the first TV Ad to integrate QR codes that is all I'm hoping to preserve. Tkelleman (talk) 16:08, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Your addition had several problems: 1) The cite did not meet Wikipedia's sourcing guidelines, given at WP:RS. 2) The cite did not actually support what you added - it did not say it was the first QR code. 3) It is easy to find earlier uses of QR codes on television. The NY Times reports that national retailer Bluefly had been using them a year earlier. MrOllie (talk) 16:45, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for that reference to Bluefly - I was not aware of them. I did know that other countries had used QR codes in TV ads way before I did in the US but I was not aware of Bluefly. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. Tkelleman (talk) 22:26, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
[edit]
Hello, Tkelleman. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 23:37, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
