Hello, this is a message from
an automated bot. A tag has been placed on
Meteor Vineyard, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be
speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because
Meteor Vineyard is blatant
advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting
Meteor Vineyard, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at
WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the
bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. To see the user who deleted the page, click

Hello. Could you please clarify the licensing situation on Image:Dawnine Dyer-photoJohnMcJunkin.jpg? Wikipedia can not accept non-commericial-only or wikipedia-only licensed images, because it intends all content to be available to anyone, even for resale by others for profit. If you really mean GFDL-self licensing, then please clarify. If you really mean wikipedia-only, the GFDL-self licensing tag isn't right, and the image will be deleted in a few days. Drop me a note on my talk page if you have a question. Gimmetrow 05:45, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

There is no evidence of any supposed "independent journalist" involved in this process; the edits are coming from this company account. — Orange Mike
I am hoping to have a dialogue with you.
You block entries from public relations agencies. I appreciate this for all the obvious reasons. However, we do not actually function as a p.r. firm. Also, an independent journalist wrote the purely informational pieces without direction or editing from us.
Please respond and let me know your thoughts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Studio707 ( talk • contribs)
Dear Orange Mike,
I was wondering if you had the chance to communicate with Holly. Like I said earlier, she has been unbiastly writing these encyclopedia accounts. I have been simply adding them to Wikipedia because I am rather computer savvy.
I look forward to your response.
Hello Gimmetrow. Yes I need help! Our independant writer is trying to make changes so that the we will not be flagged. I cannot make any changes. I have been blocked because of a conflict of interest. However, we hired someone to write these pieces so they were unbiased. Any suggestions on how to reactivate my account? The writer was hired to obviously write and I was hired to add these notable places and people to Wikipedia. Adding these accounts is not easy for all, I have a relative understanding of html etc.. I completely understand the issues with biased articles however we are not biased. I just want to add the correct information and be a part of Wikipedia. Also, I have wonderful photos to add to these entries that were taken and licensed to us from a photographer. Wikipedia will not allow these photos to be posted. Please help! Thank-you.
Thanks Gimmetrow! Does this mean you are lifting the lockout! Can I edit or even interract once again with Wikipedia?! In regards to the photos whatever needs to be done so that I can use the imagery. The photographer, John McJunkin, took the photos for us to use as we choose. So, users can use them also. When I uploaded them I don't recall what I chose. So, next time, if there is a next time!, what should I choose? Lastly, we would like to update Barry Schuler's entry. There are numerous issues with his current page. Will there be an issue if I change this as well? How can you change a table? If I gave you the text, could you adapt his bio? Again, thank-you for your help. P.S. I even figured out the category thing! I actually really enjoyed working on Wikipedia! It is quite sad that I was banned.
I tried to rename and create another account but it said my IP was blocked. Any suggestions? I would love if you would not mind to post on the admin board if you think this will change the situration at hand. Our writer, Holly Hubbard Preston, said you can also look up her credentials at IHT.com. Lastly, I think that your suggestion for CC-BY-SA sounds best. I definatley do not want any individual to modify the photos but they can use them if they would like to do so. I will try and change that if I can get back onto Wiki. Thanks again for your help. Studio707, 8 December 2007
I'm hoping we can cleanse (if you call it that) the articles here of any advertising / conflict concerns. That would conceivably mean nominating some for deletion or removing content, but it may also mean in other courses reviewing the sources or adding others, and agreeing that a business is notable or a claim fair to make. There has to be a light at the end of the tunnel - the article either gets deleted, fixed, or approved, without a conflict tag remaining on it forever.
To that end, it would help greatly if I could get a list of articles on which a conflict has been noted, and a statement from this editor on which of those, if any, they actually ad (or did not have) a connection with - as client, colleague, competitor of a client, etc. You seem to say above that you are simply doing independent journalism and not working for any of these companies. Is that so? You have no professional / financial interest in what the articles say? Thanks, Wikidemo ( talk) 22:32, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Meteor Vineyard 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 or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.
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), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact
one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you.
