Speedy deletion nomination of Jonathan Hammond solar pioneer

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 Jonathan Hammond solar pioneer, 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 encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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 "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. Ducknish (talk) 21:50, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest

Hello, DaveB1Ecotech. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Lucille D. Bainbridge, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content 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 a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 21:57, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Jonathan hammond solar architect

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 Jonathan hammond solar architect 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 person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content or organised event, but it does not 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 "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. Furthermore, do not attempt to recreate deleted pages.Uberaccount (talk) 00:19, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Kenneth Haggard

Hello, DaveB1Ecotech. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Kenneth Haggard, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Kenneth Haggard to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.

If you don't understand this message, you can leave a note on my talk page.

Thanks, Gbawden (talk) 12:43, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Referencing

Hi. I saw the changes you made to Kenneth Haggard but the article is still not referenced properly. I suggest you read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources and also consider installing the ProveIt gadget - preferences, gadgets. This helps you fill out complex references such as books and journals. I don't like a google book source as a reference - rather cite the book and use the google link as the url. If you use ProveIt you will have the option to do this. Hope this helps Gbawden (talk) 06:33, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
