Twing

I have made my concerns known on the talk page. I ususally trust my instncts, but in fairness, I carefully reviewed your article. Based on the information presented and my findings listed on the talk page, I am taking this article to

AfD. You can address the concerns there, and of course you can continue to work to improve the article and bring it into conformity with Wikipedia standards, noting improvements in the AfD discussion, which may or may not change people's opinions. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 12:39, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply

Twing Article Deletion Question

You wrote: You recently deleted an article on Twing. In the discussion, there seemed to be some valid reasons for considering such an action. However, I thought I had addressed them, and posted the reasoning in the article's talk page. The talk page was deleted as well, but I saved a copy and I'll put that info in below, since it's unclear as to where as to do so other than . The thing is, the talk page addressed the issues of concern and there didn't seem to be any further discussion or reasoning behind deletion taking such things into account. It's possible this information wasn't considered. I'd intentionally put it in the talk page as I thought I was following instructions saying not to edit the discussion page, and it's premature to head for Wikipedia:Deletion review since there was no real discussion. In fact, the whole process is a bit over complicated, but it is what it is I suppose. In any case, I'll put the defense info below. If it's not accepted, what that tells me is that there's a fair amount or arbitrary application of the rules and I should instead suggest a bunch of other articles for deletion that seem to be much more in violation of the same rule sets you described for Twing.

See
WP:SOFIXIT. Feel free to tag articles that you do not feel meet up with Wikipedia's stated standards. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 15:21, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply

Original defense.

  • Re: the Links concern: I have updated them to link properly.
  • Re: References Concern
    • The references concerning search engine theory, (for example Pirolli's book), mention hardly any particular engines. And are even light on examples of specific practical academic projects. They focus on the math. They're just theory for the most part; of which Twing is merely an illustration. But a reader curious as to the underpinnings of the theory behind the product's technology might be interested in this depth. In fact, it's what's notable about Twing. That it's attempting to use these concepts.
References must establish points in the article, especially
notability. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 15:21, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply

    • Notability: I've added links to articles from reputable sources indicating that others of note see this as valuable new stuff. Ironically, I'd left such links out as I'd thought them to be overly commercial as I want to focus on the theory/science, etc. and when I have time would like to add more in that regard. The reason it's notable is because it's the only specialty search going across this content vertical using this kind of advanced filtering. Not only tons of value from a marketing/user perspective, but an example of how to use advanced filtering technology to disambiguate search results in social media spaces. That is the part that's interesting.
Notability here is reference to
Wikipedia's notability criteria for organizations and companies. It's not as widely subjective as is inferred above. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 15:31, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply
]
  • Actually, the Vertical search article needs a ton of work, and I hope to get to that as well. (It's focused primarily on business vertical - which has value - but doesn't really break down the differences in vertical.) But... that's another article for another time.

Deletion review: deleting admin response

I'm happy to move the deleted article to your user space, and have just done so. Since the article already failed a valid

Wikipedia's notability standards, let me or another administrator know, and we will review it for re-insertion into the main article space. Thanks for your cooperation, and happy editing! - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 01:50, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply

I'll have to get back to you later on this. Meetings off-site today, plus family pet death are keeping me pretty preoccupied. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 15:13, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My Response

I'm going to follow the Wikipedia [[1]] standards and re-post this article. I've tried to go through the original concerned admin, and my mentor from the top of this talk page. But after getting no responses for weeks, I'm just going to put up the fixed version and see what happens.

Proposed deletion of Twing

A

dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page
.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the

proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. AndrewHowse (talk) 20:54, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply

I'm going to remove the prod tag (you could have done the same thing, with a reasonable explanation), and if
AfD, all the better, since that will more efficently vett(sp?) the issue(s). - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 19:33, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply

Mister ****, I presume?

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Twing, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

  1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
  2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
  3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam); and,
  4. avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see

our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 19:55, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply

Uh huh. You got my name right, but I cut it out. Just like you and many others, it's easy enough to figure out who I am just from my profile. But, for whatever reasons, I prefer the veneer of a pseudonym here. (I already disclosed relationship; name doesn't matter.) Regardless of any conflict, that doesn't make anything any less true or valuable. If, in the end of this, you all just zap it, I won't keep fighting it. (It's annoying as I thought I did a good job; used references and read all the rules, etc.) This exercise is something I've gone though as much or more out of curiosity then anything else and maybe to write about it elsewhere. (Because it's interesting and in some ways amusing, as I think I've satisfied everything and followed all the rules.)
Bottom line: I've done all I can. In the end, things apparently depend on the opinion of a couple of folks and that's about it. Either please help me figure out how to make it valid per your standards; which apparently I can't divine, or make the yank it decision and we'll be done. (But, if you yank this one, I'd also expect you to yank the others I've mentioned that suffer even worse from the similar rules. I've NO problem with editorial judgments going against me. I do have a problem with inconsistency.)

Thank you

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Maria-snyder-model.jpg

File Copyright problem
File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Maria-snyder-model.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear.

Snipped out the rest. I didn't update this photo. Or even know who this person is. This was some time ago now so I have no idea how that happened, but since there's no other abuse under my account, I'll just assume I left myself logged in somewhere rather than someone getting hold of password; which I've since changed.

Renaming articles

Hey, from what I can see it looks like AdKeeper is now Keep.com and this is really more of a retitling than a true website created from scratch. When that happens, we usually just rename the article in question with the new name of the website rather than create a new page for each name the page has gone under. However since there is a little bit of murkiness as to what is new and what isn't, I moved the article to your userspace. I'd probably recommend creating an article for the company "

Speedy deletion nomination of Adaptly

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 Adaptly 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 a company, corporation or organization, but it does not credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 deleted 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.
