Welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia, Car0lina01! I am DeltaQuad and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. Thank you for your contributions. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

{{helpme}}I hope I'm doing this right. I have been emailing you for a few months now about our Wiki page in my Sandbox and wanted you to check out the updates I made recently and provide feedback. I sent an email to you last week. Could you also take a look at my info box. Some of the items there are not appearing in the box once I save. Thank you for your help.

can you provide a link to these sandboxes? Sophie ^(Talk) 20:15, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's because the parameters you are using parameters that are not listed here. You might want to consider using this template instead. Hope this helps. Set Sail For The Seven Seas 0° 25' 15" NET 00:01, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is this site approved? Can I make it a live wiki page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Car0lina01 (talk • contribs) 19:33, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Are you referring to your sandbox page? Set Sail For The Seven Seas 3° 26' 30" NET 00:13, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, DeltaQuad was working with me in the Sandbox to make sure my page was free from "marketing copy." Initially, our IP addresses got blocked because our Wiki page was not done correctly. DeltaQuad was giving me suggestions on making the page information so our IP addresses would not get blocked again.

{helpme}} Hello DeltaQuad...We would like to make our Wiki page live now. Could you or one of your associates check the page to make sure the content is appropriate for Wiki. We don't want our IPs blocked again and you have been so helpful in the past. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.15.150.50 (talk) 15:02, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article at User:Car0lina01/sandbox

That is a neatly-presented article. I have tweaked the references so that the ref-list shows what they are. I think you could omit the Affinity 4 and Cross Bridge entries under "external links", because they are already in the ref list, but that's up to you.

The main problem, which might well lead to the article being challenged on notability grounds if you post it now, is the lack of any independent references. Remember that the General Notability Guideline requires that you show "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". You don't have any; the references are the founders' profiles, Affinity4 and Crossbridge's websites, and a press release. None of that counts as independent.

See what independent comment on Affinity4 you can find, and add that. A good way to check whether you really have notability is to follow the advice of a very experienced user in User:Uncle G/On notability#Writing about subjects close to you:

When writing about subjects that are close to you, don't use your own personal knowledge of the subject, and don't cite yourself, your web site, or the subject's web site. Instead, use what is written about the subject by other people, independently, as your sources. Cite those sources in your very first edit. If you don't have such sources, don't write.

The same idea is described at WP:Amnesia test. When you have done the best you can, post a request at WP:Requests for feedback, with a link to your draft, to get more comments.

In conversations on talk pages, it helps to know who has said what when, so please sign your comments by adding four tilde characters ~~~~ at the end, which the system will turn into a "signature" of your username and the time and date, like this: JohnCD (talk) 19:55, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi JohnCD. Thanks for your suggestions. I was able to gather some references from outside sources and added them to my sandbox.Car0lina01 (talk) 18:35, 3 November 2010 (UTC)(talk2:34 PM EST, 4 November 2010.[reply]
