Hi Matt, I received a message from you that my submission describing our company "Amramp" was considered advertising. I had this article written to objectively describe our unique product, the benefits it provides, and history behind the company. I completely understand and respect the fact that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. I do not wish to advertise our company. I only wish for our unique product to be described to those who may be interested in learning about Amramp or our special type of ramp. For instance, Coca Cola has a description on Wikipedia. Do you have any suggestions about how I could enhance this article to meet Wikipedia standards?
Please see article below.
Thanks for your help. Mark
Amramp Amramp, previously known as American Ramp Systems, manufactures and installs modular steel wheelchair ramps that can be rented or purchased by individuals, businesses, and organizations. The company provides free estimates and holds patents on its designs. Amramp is represented by 40 locally owned franchisees across the United States. Amramp’s headquarters are in South Boston, Massachusetts. Operations Ramps can be purchased and installed at homes for residents who use wheelchairs. Amramp’s ramp systems may also be temporarily rented for home-use for special occasions to accommodate handicapped guests. Often institutions and organizations rent ramp systems for special events: Graduations 2008 Democratic National Convention Athletic events Tall ships and USS John F. Kennedy Weddings Republican National Convention Businesses, organizations, and institutions such as libraries and universities also purchase Amramp systems, installed by a professional, to comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements (link to article). With fully stocked locally based warehouses nationwide, Amramp installs most steel ramp systems generally within 24 to 48 hours, often – in time for someone who’s being released from a hospital or health care facility. Insurance administrator J Ouelette has ordered thousands of ramps for people’s homes nationwide. “We have patients with paraplegic, quadraplegic, and tetraplegic diagnoses,” Ouelette said. “To most people, it’s just a wheelchair ramp. But to these accident victims, it’s the difference between being home with their families and living at a rehabilitation facility or nursing home.” Specifications There is no minimum rental period or ramp size. Steel ramps are more affordable than wood or aluminum. Amramp’s ramps are made from recycled materials and are fully recyclable. Rental ramps are reusable. Ramp installation and extraction does not disturb habitats or properties. Installation often takes just a few hours. Ramp installations are often started within 48 hours of approval. Steel ramps generally do not require permits. The steel mesh surface of the ramp performs optimally year-round in any weather. The mesh material offsets moisture, eliminating ice, puddles, and moss. Ramps are flame-retardant.

Gordon experiences greater fulfillment from his current venture: “I work each day to do something important. It has changed my life.” Quick facts and testimonials • “Amramp goes a long way, above and beyond pricing. If we can’t get the ramp placed for three weeks, we’re not doing the patient or the homeowner any good. Amramp helps make the patient the priority. We once needed a ramp that was over 100 feet; three of the independent franchisees worked together to get ramp installed in a timely fashion.” -- J. Ouelette Insurance administrator • “Amramp installed three modular ramps in one day. FEMA put in wooden ramps that rotted within one year, leaving people stranded inside their houses for fear of an accident while using the rotted ramps.” -- K. Blanchette, DeSoto County, Fla., case manager • Actor Christopher Reeves, who survived a house-riding accident as a quadriplegic, used ramps several times a year at speaking events around the country. • The US Navy used a ramp to allow handicapped former crewmembers to enter the John F. Kennedy aircraft carrier for a reunion.
Company & franchise information Franchise sales began in 2002; 40 franchisees cover 27 states across the US. Controlled growth in franchises is expected to continue, due to the rise of home health care and an aging populace. Chief Operations Officer Jim Norton plans to expand internationally.

Hello!
I was hoping you could point me in the right direction. I recently created my first wiki page. I see that you moved it to a page that only features his name. Since it was my first article, I was mimicking a style I'd seen other pages for where they had clarification in parenthesis - this edit doesn't cause me any concern. (happy to learn the wiki "best practice")
My problem/question is that after you moved the page - someone else came along and deleted it. Is this because of the move? Is this a vandal? Should I reload the page to just "Gunnar Peterson" as you originally moved it?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Here is the link to my original page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunnar_Peterson_(Personal_Trainer,_Fitness_Expert)

Hi Matt
I've taken anything out that is not a fact statment and I have citated all the sources. Apart from this section (which was there originally on Wiki for a number of years!) which has been kept the same as the original:
"First conceived in 2002 by lead singer/songwriter Tarin Kerrey, Sanguine are a four piece, female fronted alternative metal band originating from Exeter in the UK.[1]
Sanguine’s music was never designed with one genre in mind, describing themselves as alt-metal purely because no other term seemed to fit, and their mix of sweet-innocent vocals and music coupled with stab-victim screams and grinding riffs certainly leads you to expect the unexpected. However, like any other music it's better heard than described, so download the free tracks and make up your own mind. If that’s not enough for you then Sanguine are also well know for their energetic shows, always committing every ounce of energy regardless of the venue.
This was reflected at their very first gig where the media said: “A truly mind-blowing…alternative rock/metal outfit who stormed through a sensational set…Sanguine are going to be huge there is no doubt about that, so check them out before they take off to the big time.” ([2])"
If you have any problems with the rest of the page then please highlight what you need and I'll get it done!

The talk page (as well as the article) were semi-protected to prevent further need to suppress edits; each of those usages of oversight you noticed were in response to the same information, a result of the recent events mentioned on the article. As much as I understand and agree with your concerns, I'd prefer the protection remain up for at least a week more to avoid the information being reposted again, for both BLP and legal reasons. It's possible we could set up an "unprotected talk page" like several admins have on their user talk pages, and either link or transclude it to the main talk page, but that's subject to the same problem, so we may as well just unprotect then.

Hello, I tried to create this page earlier, with the information below:
The Newcastle Roller Girls are a team of skaters playing the modern day version of Roller Derby. They are based in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne in the North East of England.
The team is made up of a Captain, Brie Larceny; Vice Captain, Rita Von Sleaze; and other team members who take on roles within the team of: Jammer, Pivot and Blocker. Newcastle Roller Girls are the largest team in the North East of England, and have been around since 2009, their first bout is in Edinburgh in April 2010, less than one year after forming.
Although they are an all female team, they are coached by Duk, a male skater, and have two male refs, Andrew and Alex.
They have a Facebook site, ad a website is currently being built, and are on the look out for new skaters, female and male.
Is it ok to put this information on without mentioning names?

Dear gods, that's a lot of Kenyan settlements. :) Nice work. ALI nom nom 14:28, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
No this is not good. I don't have a problem with new articles on settlements but you;ve created them all with false data. Falling rain should have been blacklisted years ago. The population data is grossly inaccurate and the data is at least ten years out of date compiled in 1995 to 1996. Please stop using falling rain data. Dr. Blofeld White cat 14:32, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
It is black list neglect that the site was not blacklisted long ago. The site does contain accurate coordinate data, that's about it. But trust me, User:Orderinchaos and User:Darwinek on this. The data is often seriously at fault. For instance a Tibetan town, Chinese government claims 35,000. Falling rain said "800 in a 7km radius". A coastal settlement in western Madagscar. Google earth claims 1 metre. Falling rain claims 360 metres. Honestly it is a dreadul source. I support you creating articles about settlements providing they are veriable, actually a few years back I proposed [{Fritzpollbot]] to start articles on every settlement in the world but was opposed by a lot of people in that they didn't contain reliable sources. I know that Kenyan government data on setltements is probably not widely available but please can you not use fallingrain. The coordinate data is the only accurate thing, given that it was compiled from the geodatabase. Another problem is that it often lists settlements which no longer exist or are tiny hamlets. I support what you are doing but only if you use accurate data and sources!! Dr. Blofeld White cat 14:43, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
Cool. The coordinates are generally accurate but I would use google earth or geo names database for that purpose. Falling rain should be ignored completely. If you could create the articles with accurate coordinates and try to find government sources I'd be the first to support you. Note though if you are mass creating using automation at a high level you'll need authorisation as Xeno said above. What I can do is find some reliable sources for you to create articles about settlements. We definately need an editor like you creating articles about African/Asian/Oceanian settlements but only if they don't contain falling rain references and false data!! First of all though a cleanup job will be need to rmeove the data form falling rain in these articles and all others. You'll often see it used to reference altitude data in Tanzanian articles etc which is known to be wrong. Most editors yourself included are unaware of just how wrong the data generally is. I can arrange for you to start articles on Benin settlements for example using sources like this. Just the data has to be known to be based on accurate sources and not guesses! In fatc you could finish my work on Arrondissements of Benin using the sources given and then lists and start the settlements within them using the above sources. Things like this OK? You could get away with using falling rain for coordinates only but don't say so when you create the article. Dr. Blofeld White cat 15:03, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
You'll find that coordinates in geo articles rarely need referencing. It is factual data like altitude and population that require reliable sources. So I think coordinates with no source would be better, providing they are verifiable. If it is easier for you to extract the coordinates from falling rain by all means do so but do not rely on it for anything elase, even naming conventions of places are often trasliterated wrongly. Are you aware of Maplandia world gazetteer? Have a browse by country and region/district. This lists settlements by province and districts which is good for compiling lists of places and its has the coordinates, I think it woul dbe better to compile settelements and coordinates from Maplandia but only if you use reliable sources for population and altitude data. Also you might find World Gazetteer useful for population data for the more obscure countries. See Thailand. Now click parent division say central and it lists loads of towns with data, many of which do not have articles on here. Where possible though solid government sources should really be used but I aware this is impossible for countries like Gabon etc at the moment. Dr. Blofeld White cat 15:17, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
I've made some comments on the bot proposal page and proposed to sort the Kenyan geography stub by province. I was wondering if I could create a list of countries/divisions that could be started and possible sources on you user page or a sub page. I have the full data of all the communes and villages in Senegal for instance using official sources not to mention sources for those mentioned above and a site called statoids for starting articles like [[Communes of Angola, Burundi, districts of Anguilla, counties of American Samoa, mukims of Brunei, some of the districts of Ghana, councils of Guyana, villages of Niue etc. If you are interested let me know as I feel there is a lot of work to be doing which can be done using reliable sources and done first time.

I've moved the article to Newbury West Fields Halt railway station. This is because the convention for closed stations is to use the name as at closure, as given in reliable sources such as Butt 1995. According to Butt, the name was always Newbury West Fields Halt; this is (almost) backed up by photos of the station, which show the name as "NEWBURY WEST FIELDS". I've also adjusted the five redirects that you created; normally, we wouldn't create that many - there'd be one for each previous name that the station had in its history, and always of the form "xxxx railway station". --Redrose64 (talk) 19:13, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

I am an old customer for IXBAY.COM. I have bought some gadgets from IXBAY.COM for few times. And I personaly think that it is a good company so that I want to recommend for other people. I would like to share good things with others. So I try to submit an article on Wikipedia. However, I failed. As a freshmen I really don't know how to edit the article that it would not be delete. Could you tell me how? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Linbackor (talk • contribs) 02:59, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
Hi Matt
I'm trying to re-submit an article which was deleted in February, about a company called Style Compare.
I now have some more solid references to include, which I believe was the reason for the initial deletion.
Please can you advise the best way to go about this.
Many thanks.

The source was included in both sections where it was entered, as well as being confirmed by BBC radio (even though it hadn't been put on the site yet), and now by the BBC site. Why did you remove the sourced material as not have reliable sources? --Fbifriday (talk) 02:27, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
I made a boo boo. As you know, I am (hopefully?) assisting you in the review of Aldermaston. I check back regularly to document progress. I noticed that you had also created George Shepherd recently, which I thought would be ideal for nomination as a DYK, so I nominated the article.
After I nominated it, I realised the article would fail due to its length. I then took the liberty of expanding it as best as I could (trying to correct my error), managing to pad it out from 800 to 1800+ B, "readable prose size". I was sincere in my nomination and sincere in my efforts to correct my mistake. I really hope you do not take offence. Anyway, whatever happens, good luck with the DYK. sincerely: --Senra (talk) 13:58, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
Thankyou for your recent edits to the ground plan of Aldermaston parish church ([File:AldermastonChurch plan.svg]). Peter Ditchfield was not the main editor of the Victoria County History. William Page (1861-1934) edited the series and Rev. Dr. Ditchfield was his Berkshire co-editor. I have amended the page accordingly.
I have changed the date of the image's first publication to 1923, which was when the VCH volume covering Aldermaston was published. If you have evidence of the image being published in 1911 as you stated, please add this to the page. Thankyou, Motacilla (talk) 00:32, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi, you deleted a page i recently made about my friends band. You were right in that parts of it were a hoax, but these were a momentary joke and were going to be replaced with the factually correct stuff! You took it down really quickly, and i appreciate why, but could you just send me the text or undelete the page because my friend (the singer of the band) really wants to see the hoax version, plus all the formatting and parts that were correct will have to be redone otherwise!
Much appreciated.

Hi Mattgirling. Over at Michael Abram, the reason the sentence describing the source was there is because the source has been reverted in the past because of the funny source title. That sentence is just to help describe why the source is important. There has been similar sentences describing source in other articles. Now that you know why it was there, do you agree we should put it back in or do you have another suggestion? —Prhartcom (talk) 10:38, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
I wonder if you could have a look at this page? I tagged it as "unreferenced", before you deleted it as a copyvio. But somehow, the page history has got corrupted: the original page creator isn't shown, nor is your deletion, but my edit to add a tag is shown. As a result, another editor has now tagged the (empty) page for speedy deletion and has notified me as the page's "creator". It's not a problem, I'm just curious how such an odd state of affairs has arisen. regards Jimmy Pitt talk 15:48, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Chattanooga Choo Choo (gold record).ogg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Chattanooga_Choo_Choo_(gold_record).ogg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Melesse (talk) 00:55, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

I'm unsure why you deleted the page that I created for a band who interest me greatly and who have started to receive recognition within the musical world. A lot of time and effort went into creating an accurate account of the band, and I dont feel that any of the wiki terms have been violated. If you aren't prepared to take back your decision, then perhaps you would be so kind as to send me teh content of the page, so that when the band have aquired further recognition, I am able to re-submit with more detail and additional content

Dear Wikipedian,
This is the first of what will hopefully be a regular notice to help bring together the UK community so that you can be involved in some amazing things. To kick things off, there will be a UK community IRC meeting at 1800 UTC, December 7, 2010 to discuss the future growth and developement of Wikimedia UK. Without huge community support and involvement, the chapter cannot be successful and to get the most out of it, get involved.
For information on the community IRC meeting please go here
More to come about:
Many Thanks

Hi Mattgirling, I saw that you were the author of the article and that you added the coordinates to Kacheliba. I try to localize this village and according to a map from 1973 Kacheliba is rather at 1°28'N, not 1°48'N. Are there two Kachelibas or is this a typo? Maybe, we can clear this up. :) Best wishes --Pharaoh han (talk) 19:44, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
