Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, 2002 Hershey Sale. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – The Hershey Company. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at The Hershey Company – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. DGG ( talk ) 23:19, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article BabyNes is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/BabyNes until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. DGG ( talk ) 00:12, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
I have also been making extensive edits on some of the other articles you have written or approved. Some of them need still further work, especially Princess Margaret Hospital (Funafuti) which needs further condensation, and Tonghua Dongbao Pharmaceuticals Ltd. which had extensive uncited sections. Perhaps you would care to do some of the work? I will sometimes accept an unsatisfactory AfC, but not unless I am prepared to fix it, and I usually do that immediately.
Youve done some very good work here--many of your Nestle articles are just the right amount of detail, and your automobile work is good also. I know we can't expect the new editors to do first-rate work from the start, but the point of AfC is to give them time to develop before their articles go into mainspace. In particular, for many of our editors, it is necessary to check for poor English and bad spelling -- if the article is too sloppy, it gives a bad impression. But even worse, is when they don't document things that need documentation--I find that often a custom message is needed pointing out to them just what it is that needs the documentation.
I know you've been receiving a good deal of criticism lately. I'd like to help you overcome the natural defensiveness this introduces. I'd really like to see your AfC work get more rigorous--we need good people there, and your own articles show you can do it. I know two tricks that work for me--I never try to fix more than 1 or 2 articles that need extensive fixing in a single day, and I try not to look at too many of the same problems in a row, for I get either over-critical or insufficiently watchful.

If you do not understand our guidelines and policies on whether articles are suitable for Wikipedia you should not be moving them into mainspace. Some of the articles are OK but your failure rate is too high, and you are creating unnecessary work for others. At the very least, please run them past an experienced aditor first; I will quite happily look at them, and I note that User:DGG above has given you similar advice. Thank you.

Hello, thank you for accepting my article " Vizzini (The Princess Bride)" except for some reason, the link became a redirect to the novel The Princess Bride. Could you fix this or how could I fix it?

Hey Josh. I fixed it. It seems that some random vandal did that. However, I would like for you to add more reliable sources, so it will not be removed,, or redirected once more. Coolboygcp ( talk) 23:24, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
I am "clearly not competent"? Haha. I am surprised that you monitor my talk page so frequently. Just because I referred to you, as a "vandal", I would be blocked? I did not know that you were an administrator, and created new rules in this site. I did not know I could not refer to editors as "vandals". Coolboygcp ( talk) 23:37, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of former Nestlé brands, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Quik ( 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.
