Welcome!
Hello, Aee22, 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 The Firehouse Restaurant, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.
You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard. Thank you.

A tag has been placed on The Firehouse Restaurant, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which 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 guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
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 hangon 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact
one of these admins to request that they
userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. —

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a
speedy deletion tag from a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{
hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. —

Hey. I just wanted to stop by and explain what's going on with the article you created. It may have a place on Wikipedia but it has some issues right now that will most likely lead to its quick deletion as one of the problems could be damaging to Wikipedia (the copyright violation). To solve all of the problems, we'll need to rewrite the article in your own words, remove all the "weasel words" and advertising from the article (if it's anything other than a fact, a reference has to be given to who has the opinion), and most importantly, we'll have to establish that the subject is notable. To show that the subject (the restaurant) is notable, we'll need at least two news articles that show significant coverage (not just a blurb) about the establishment from a reliable and independent source. The easiest way to do this is to do a Google News search unless you already have 2+ links from a local newspaper that has published stories about the restaurant.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them here or on the talk page of the article. OlYeller Talktome 19:57, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
In response to a request from OlYeller21 I have userfied The Firehouse Restaurant. This means that, instead of deleting the article, i ahve moved it to User:Aee22/The Firehouse Restaurant to give you a chance to improve it, before moving it back to The Firehouse Restaurant. It is important to realise that this is only a temporary measure to allow you a little time, because otherwise the article would have been already deleted. In its present state the page is far too promotional in character to be acceptable as an article, and it will need to be improved fairly soon, or it will still be deleted.

A tag has been placed on Ten22 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

As you have made it clear that you have a conflict of interest regarding The Firehouse Restaurant, Ten 22, and Harvego Enterprises, I ask that you please not edit the pages any longer. If you wish to add something to the articles, please feel free to request an addition on your talk page (here) or on the talk pages of the articles. If you continue to edit these articles, I will be forced to mark them with the {{ COI}} (conflict of interest) banner to inform readers that all or portions of what they are reading has been written by someone with a conflict of interests with Wikipedia. I've explained this to you several times. Is there something that you don't understand? Feel free to ask questions here. OlYeller Talktome 18:25, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
About the way you were treated by User:OlYeller21. In OlYeller's defense, they were trying to be helpful, however, it is perfectly understandable that a new editor would not know how this place works (it is very confusing to new editors, and some policies that do make sense do not seem obvious on their face.) The link provided was quite inappropriate.
We do have strong policies related to copyright and conflicts of interest. If you would like me to help you with articles where you may have a conflict, let me know here. Real life is keeping me quite busy, but I'll see what I can do.-- SPhilbrick T 14:30, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
