First, you'll note that all the project titles have now changed to the Page Curation prefix, rather than having the New Pages Feed prefix. This is because the overarching project name has changed to Page Curation; the feed is still known as New Pages Feed, and the Curation Toolbar is still the Curation Toolbar. Hopefully this will be the ''last'' namechange ;p.

First, thank you for responding to my query. Second, I'm new to Wiki so I'm not even sure this message will be posted as I couldn't find a "reply" button. Third, the wiki article I'm writing is about a band that I follow. I contacted the band's rep and was given permission to write the article. I didn't want to get sued so I made sure I got permission prior to attempting to write this article. However, your note indicated that it was an advertisement. It's not my intention to make it sound like an ad. I have more information to write but after the speed deletion thing, I had to revamp the language. I also don't know how to give "credit" to articles written about the band. For example if Rolling Stones Magazine said "they were awesome" then how do I relay that on here?

:Well first things first. You put the message in the right place, but just a tip: the "New section" button at the top is the best way to add a message. Don't worry, you didn't do anything wrong though!

:Your article was deleted for two reasons: first, it was a ] of a magazine article—if you want to write an article, it ''must'' be your own words. You can't copy-paste from other sources, but you can cite them (see ]). On a related note, a subject must be ], i.e. they must have multiple third-party ] write about them. Second, Misplaced Pages articles must be written from a ]. This means no promotional language.

:Does that answer your questions? ]] <sup>]</sup> 18:46, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

== Response re deletion of smiths detection draft page ==

Hello David1217,

This is my first time using wikipedia so my apologies if the first draft of this page fell short of the required standard. It is not my intention to create an advertisement for Smiths Detection merely to create an entry that explains as fully as I can what the company does (without replicating what is already on their company website) and include appropriate contact details for interested parties - bearing in mind the global scope of their operations. Would you be so kind as to provide some pointers regarding the specific areas of the page that you felt were inappropriate?

Many thanks for any help or advice you are able to provide!

Stujamjen

P.S. After reading your original message, when I clicked on the "contest this deletion" link it brought up an error page is this normal? <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 13:50, 15 August 2012 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:You need to show that your company has gotten multiple outside reliable sources to write about it—this is called ]. You also need to write articles from a ], which means no promotional language. The ] is a helpful step-by-step guide to creating an article. Also, the error page you brought up is ''not'' normal—what did it look like?
