Naming references

Thank you for your work in adding references to to articles on Cunard Line ships such as Braemar. However, when naming references you should always use the name of the site being referred to. This is especially problematic with the reference you provided on the Braemar article to http://www.chriscunard.com/archives5.htm, which was labeled as "Cunard Crown Dynasty on Cunard Archives". The primary problem is that "Cunard Archives" gives the impression that the website in question is an official Cunard website (especially as the official Cunard website has an archive on all past their ships). Secondarily the precise page being referred to is not solely about the Cunard Crown Dynasty, yet this was the impression given by the naming of the reference. Finally, when adding references you should always include the date when the site was viewed on the reference, in case the site being referenced later goes offline or changes. Personally I've found using the {{Cite web}} template the easiest way of adding references and providing all the nesecessary reference details.

Again, your contributions are strongly appriciated as they are, but by adressing the minor details above you will also help the work of other wikipedia contributors and make the site appear more reliable to readers. Cheers. — Kjet (talk · contribs) 15:21, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Feathers of Knysna

A tag has been placed on Feathers of Knysna, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of Feathers of Knysna and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Socrates2008 (Talk) 10:56, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Article was not intended to be perceived as advertising and has been Fundamentally re-written with a request for expert advice from the Wikipedia Art Experts placed on the article. Printpost (talk) 14:46, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. I appreciate the effort you have put into rewriting the Feathers of Knysna article, but it remains in danger of deletion, as you still have to provide reliable references demonstrating that the subject is notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia. The best way that you can do this is by providing references from international, national, or even regional media that cover the subject. At the moment, your references consist of tourist websites, mail archives and promotional sites. While these can be used at times to back-up certain claims made in the article, they should really only be used once you have first and foremost established notability using reliable sources. Please read this guideline regarding establishing notability for companies. Cheers, Steamroller Assault (talk) 16:52, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you - I have placed a note requesting assistance from others in the Wikipedia Art Community on finding extra references.Printpost (talk) 09:32, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Cruise & Maritime Voyages

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Cruise & Maritime Voyages 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.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} 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 hang-on 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

Disambiguation link notification for December 31

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Queen Elizabeth 2, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page O2 Arena (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Speedy deletion nomination of Certified practicing marketer

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Certified practicing marketer requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.ami.org.au/imis15/AMI/Recognition/Certified_Practising_Marketer/AMI/Recognition/Certified_Practising_Marketer.aspx. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — Diannaa (talk) 01:03, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Queen Elizabeth 2

Hello, I'm Blue Riband. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Queen Elizabeth 2 without adequately explaining why.

If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

Proposed deletion of Dingo Is Talent

The article Dingo Is Talent has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement. If you disagree and deprod this, please explain how it meets them on the talk page here in the form of "This article meets criteria A and B because..." and ping me back through WP:ECHO or by leaving a note at User talk:Piotrus. Thank you.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:28, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
