• If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Decide Online with a link to where we can find that note;
• If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on Talk:Decide Online. Alternatively, you may create a note on your web page releasing the work under the GFDL and then leave a note at Talk:Decide Online with a link to the details.

It is also important that the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and that it follows Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

A tag has been placed on Zanpo, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because it is an article about a certain web site, blog, forum, or other community of web users that does not assert the importance or significance of that web location. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles, as well as notability guidelines for websites. Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on Talk:Zanpo. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. --Nick—^Contact/_Contribs 06:38, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please see our guidelines at WP:WEB. The stub articles you are creating on MMORPGs do not meet the requirements there. User:Zoe|(talk) 06:52, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning. The next time you insert a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia. User:Zoe|(talk) 06:55, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What you were doing was creating several stub articles which consisted of little more than one line and a link, with no claims of notability. Read the link I provided above. You must show what makes the site notable, and you must provide multiple independent sources which discuss the site as the primary focus of the discussion, and the source may not be a blog or a web forum.

Nothing "deserves" an article. Our verifiability policdy requires that you prove notability of a web site. A link to the site is not an acceptable proof of notability. User:Zoe|(talk) 07:04, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If only one site talks about a game, and it's the game's site, then it clearly fails our notability criteria. User:Zoe|(talk) 07:11, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just because one article exists doesn't mean that others should. User:Zoe|(talk) 07:20, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
