Welcome!

Hello, Marsoft, and

welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Marine Software Limited, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines
, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called

helpme
}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

.

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. UtherSRG (talk) 14:09, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Help

{{helpme}} How can I ensure that Marine Software Limited doesn't get deleted as there are articles about other companies both in the UK and US (Such as Mariner Software). I would like assistance on creating a factual entry for Marine Software Limited as it has been providing software to the marine industry for 20 years Marsoft (talk) 15:17, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply

The existence of other bad articles doesn't make a good argument for adding more; see
WP:OTHERSTUFF
.
Articles have to meet notability guidelines - it's all about having good "reliable sources" - see
WP:CORP
.
If you have connections with the company, at all, then please be very careful about
business FAQ
.
I suggest editing some other articles for a while - to get the hang of Wikipedia. And perhaps, later, try making a
WP:FIRST.  Chzz  ►  15:36, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply

See my comments at the article (I did not delete it immediately, for there's some indication of importance), particularly our policy [[WP:NOT DIRECTORY| Additionally, you must choose another user name; we have a rule that only individuals can edit, and that the user name cannot indicate the name of an organization, in order to avoid the appearance that they control the page. On the new page, declare your affiliation. And be careful about

WP:Conflict of Interest
 !

And I echo what Chzz said above: we are in considerable need of articles on the business side of the shipping industry, and any help you can give us on general articles will be greatly appreciated. You have a real contribution to make, if you care to do so. DGG ( talk ) 20:00, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]


DGG and Chzz- Many thanks for your help and guidanace. I have created User:R03e7t2011 and will place a notice of affiliation on that page. I have made contributions to Planned Maintenance Systems and wonder if I should move the Marine specific sections over to Marine Planned Maintenance (which I have created an placed a redirect to Planned Maintenance Systems as the requirements are different from shore based industry (I placed in the information about IACS and DNV). Also should I no delete/retire this user? Marsoft (talk) 10:40, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have created a new personal user User:R03e7t2011 and declared affiliation to Marine Software Limited. Shall I move the contents of this talk page over to my new personal user and continue this talk conversation there? Marsoft (talk) 13:44, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
