Advice

Hi ReverendSam. I just have some advice for you on a wikipedia feature that I thought you might find useful. This is in relation to your new String Metrics article. I hope you don't mind me being bold and putting this here. I thought it might improve the quality of your contributions.

If a page or topic can have multiple names, e.g. String metrics or Similarity Metrics then both names do not need an article. You can create a redirect page to forward from one to the other. Alternatively, if you are only mentioning the other name once and don't think it will be searched for you can type [[wikipedia:Be bold in updating pages|bold]] as I did above. on wikipedia, to limit the number of links on a page it is usual to only link the first occurrence of each word unless the article is long.

Another convention is that the first instance of the title in the actual article is written in bold. As you're creating lot of new articles at the moment I'd mention that. If you forget to do it don't worry, I'm sure someone will be along to fix things later. That's how I found out about various quirks like this as well.

I hope you find this useful. Mehmet Karatay 13:48, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Note that we already have a string metric article. Merging String Metrics into string metric would be appropriate I think. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 16:27, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Upper and lower case

Hi Sam. Just a note. Wikipedia style calls for lowercase in article names, so one should have information fusion instead of Information Fusion, then city block distance instead of City Block Distance, overlap coefficient instead of Overlap Coefficient, etc. It would be good if you look more carefully at the style of existing pages and try to use it in your contributions.

Speedy deletion nomination of Knowledge Now Limited

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 Knowledge Now Limited 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 an organization or company, 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} 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 hang-on 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Cntras (talk) 11:26, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Removing Speedy at Knowledge Now Limited

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Knowledge Now Limited, 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. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 11:35, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

The article DisKover has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article, which appeared to be about a real person, individual animal, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki (talk) 12:03, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
