== PrognoCIS EHR page deletion ==

Hi Sarah, I was wondering why the draft page for PrognoCIS EHR was removed. I know Misplaced Pages has a policy against advertising products or services which is why I tried to keep the page 100% factual without using wording to sway the reader. If there are changes I can make to get the page approved please let me know as the company is still hoping to have their information on Misplaced Pages. Thank you! ] (]) 13:07, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

:Hi {{ping|Amandakatz}}, the page was deleted because it was considered too promotional in nature. It would need to be fundamentally rewritten to be accepted. It was also almost entirely sourced to the company website. Articles should have independent, third party sources. There should also be significant coverage about the subject in those sources to show notability. If appropriate sources are used to provide information to create the article then that should help reduce the promotional content as well.
:If you are working for Bizmatics to create the article then you need please read our policies on ] and ]. ] (]) 13:26, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

== Regarding Big Boy Toyz ==

Hey ], Hope you're doing great. I'm an extended confirmed Misplaced Pages contributor. I was thinking to write an article for a Indian company "]", but noticed that their page was locked from creating due to disamb advertising. I see that you have previously deleted their page too! Maybe, can you release the lock so I can create an article on them? Oh, before that, I would love a helping hand. Can you double-check as an admin if they're notable before I create the article? Cheers. Thank you. ] 10:06, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

:Hi ], a quick google search shows some recent coverage in reliable sources which could be used to prove notability. I suggest you create a draft and submit it to ]. If it gets approved, let me know and I'll remove the page protection so it can be moved. ] (]) 12:30, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

== Invitation to participate in a research ==

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this ''''''.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its ] and view its ] .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

== Important: Please update user script installation ==

Hi there, you currently have a user script installed from {{PreCode|Anne drew Andrew and Drew}}. Several weeks ago, I changed my username to {{PreCode|Anne drew}}, and unfortunately, due to an issue with script redirects, the scripts you have installed under my old username no longer function.

To fix this, please update your JavaScript pages (] or ]) by replacing all instances of {{PreCode|Anne drew Andrew and Drew}} with {{PreCode|Anne drew}}.

If any of this is unclear, please ping {{noping|Anne drew}} for help. I apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding!

Thanks – {{noping|Anne drew}}

== Reminder to participate in Misplaced Pages research ==

Hello,

I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Misplaced Pages. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its ] and view its ].

Take the survey ''''''.

== How to demonstrate notability ==


]
Sarah Jane,
Good evening. Can you help me with the concept of notability as it pertains to the recently deleted page, Preemptive Solutions?
I saw a notice of potential deletion of the page because of concerns about notability and found that Misplaced Pages says:
Notability should be demonstrated using reliable sources according to Misplaced Pages guidelines (not policy). Reliable sources generally include mainstream news media and major academic journals
I added several secondary sources and the page was deleted. I can’t find any indication as to whether the sources I added were appropriate/ inappropriate, or sufficient/insufficient in number or scope; there were no comments added after the resources were added. If you can give me pointers about their notability that would be appreciated.
By the way, congratulations on the layout of your page—the formatting drives comprehension.
] (]) 22:50, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
:{{ping|MaxwellSO}} Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I can't verify the Pro J2ME source you added but the other one isn't really enough to prove notablily. It only makes a passing mention to PreEmptive Solutions and doesn't go into detail about the company itself, which is what is needed. I would also question whether it is independent given the company's connection to Microsoft. Overall the sources in the final version of the article were not enough to prove notability and the people in the discussion felt that it was written in an overly promotional way. ] is a good guide to notability, although it's not official. You will need to find ''multiple'' sources (probably at least 3 but the more the better) that are completely independant of the company and are considered reliable. These would be newspapers, news sites, books, or academic journals. To be reliable a source needs some sort of editorial oversight (eg. independent blogs are generally not considered reliable). Published press releases or anything written by a company they are connected with (ie. Microsoft) would not be considered independent. The Pro J2ME source would meet the criteria for reliable and independent but it would need to go into detail about the company, which I can't verify.

I am a declared paid editor, but the article is not mine, I was the only keep vote. Here is my perspective on what the article could (pretty close to original) look like (]), so a copy paste of the final pruned version is of no use. I'm in discussions concerning what it is going to take to change NCORP to reflect the local consensus, I think the article is a pretty good test case. The NCORP discussion is probably going to get me dragged to a dramaboard, a POV editor thinks that COI editors should have no voice in policy and WP:WPEDIT does not apply to his edits.


</div>
The guidance needs to be updated so that people are not encouraged to write the articles in the first place -- they appear to be unwanted as both product and corp articles. The edit history is kind of remarkable in the aspect as to how low some noble editors feel they have to stoop to get an article deleted. Thanks ]<sup>]</sup>] 08:01, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

:{{ping|009o9}} So you would like to view the deleted history to get evidence to use in a discussion you think is going to get you dragged to a dramaboard? Is that the only reason, or did I read what you wrote wrong? Because if it is then I don't feel comfortable doing that.

:: Yes Sarah, your reading in your first para is correct. Thanks, I understand your discomfort, my understanding is that administrators can view the history, I would just like to be prepared with diffs. The same involved editor who selectively hatted conversations in the AfD, finished destroying the online version, I had to grab a copy and rebuild in my user space to keep him from destroying it too (I thought I was going to have to get the userspace version protected). BTW: my version was available at the AfD close, not sure if any voters read it. Thanks for your consideration, I have a pretty good file going already without it. ]<sup>]</sup>] 09:49, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

:::Looking at what was removed and the explanations in the edit summaries, it seems that a lot of sources were removed because they weren't reliable, didn't verify what they were supposed to, or only had trivial passing mentions that didn't support notability. The content those sources were supporting was then removed as well. You could argue that the content should be tagged at citation needed instead of being removed but I would be careful about making accusations of the article being destroyed. It comes across as a possible personal attack and failing to assume good faith, and it could backfire on you if you make the same claims somewhere like ANI. If you want to make a case that the removal of content from the article was inappropriate then any uninvolved admin commenting on it can view the history and make their own judgment without the need for diffs. ] (]) 11:00, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

PrognoCIS EHR page deletion

Hi Sarah, I was wondering why the draft page for PrognoCIS EHR was removed. I know Misplaced Pages has a policy against advertising products or services which is why I tried to keep the page 100% factual without using wording to sway the reader. If there are changes I can make to get the page approved please let me know as the company is still hoping to have their information on Misplaced Pages. Thank you! Amandakatz (talk) 13:07, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Amandakatz:, the page was deleted because it was considered too promotional in nature. It would need to be fundamentally rewritten to be accepted. It was also almost entirely sourced to the company website. Articles should have independent, third party sources. There should also be significant coverage about the subject in those sources to show notability. If appropriate sources are used to provide information to create the article then that should help reduce the promotional content as well.
If you are working for Bizmatics to create the article then you need please read our policies on conflict of interest and paid editing. Sarahj2107 (talk) 13:26, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Regarding Big Boy Toyz

Hey Sarahj2107, Hope you're doing great. I'm an extended confirmed Misplaced Pages contributor. I was thinking to write an article for a Indian company "Big Boy Toyz", but noticed that their page was locked from creating due to disamb advertising. I see that you have previously deleted their page too! Maybe, can you release the lock so I can create an article on them? Oh, before that, I would love a helping hand. Can you double-check as an admin if they're notable before I create the article? Cheers. Thank you. 𝓡𝔂𝓭𝓮𝔁 10:06, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi Rydex64, a quick google search shows some recent coverage in reliable sources which could be used to prove notability. I suggest you create a draft and submit it to Articles for Creation. If it gets approved, let me know and I'll remove the page protection so it can be moved. Sarahj2107 (talk) 12:30, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
Great. I will do that. Will update you. Thanks! 𝓡𝔂𝓭𝓮𝔁 14:44, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

Important: Please update user script installation

Hi there, you currently have a user script installed from Anne drew Andrew and Drew. Several weeks ago, I changed my username to Anne drew, and unfortunately, due to an issue with script redirects, the scripts you have installed under my old username no longer function.

To fix this, please update your JavaScript pages (Special:MyPage/common.js or Special:MyPage/skin.js) by replacing all instances of Anne drew Andrew and Drew with Anne drew.

If any of this is unclear, please ping Anne drew for help. I apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding!

Thanks – Anne drew
