Conflict
[edit]Please read our section on conflict of interest. You should not be writing articles about your own organization. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 03:28, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
OK. I don't get it then. How do you know who the people are writing about anything? I am writing factual, not subjective, material about my subject. It's a work in progress and will have links and citations to legislation creating it, as well as links to 3rd party, including, media coverage. Isn't that ok?

- Your username is SFloridaASD and your article is Research Park at Florida Atlantic University. The username alone makes it very obvious that you work for an organization that just happens to be in the same place as the article you're writing about. And your material is not factual or subjective. Factual and subjective material doesn't use peacock terms like "visionary" or "premier", both words that promote the subject, but really mean nothing. And, of course, if you were paid to write this article, or work for an organization that promotes this research park, you can't really write neutrally, since your job would be on the line. For example, I suspect you would be in trouble with your employer if you wrote about, say, a bribery scandal that centered around this research park. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 15:38, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
Username
[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "SFloridaASD", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because Usernames most be a single person, not an organization. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 03:28, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
External links to article text
[edit] Hello, I'm Cmr08. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the main body of Boca Raton, Florida. Generally, any relevant external links should be listed in an "External links" section at the end of the article and meet the external links guidelines. Links within the body of an article should be internal Wikilinks. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

- You are also removed correct reference formatting in Florida Atlantic University, and replaced it with external links. Please do not do this either, information is supposed to be sourced with citations not include external links. Cmr08 (talk) 05:01, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
- Ok, I re-added the text you added to Florida Atlantic University, but took out the external links that go against policy. Replaced them with a wikilink and reference. Same text, just no external links. Cmr08 (talk) 05:24, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Research Park at Florida Atlantic University
[edit]
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 Research Park at Florida Atlantic University, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
- It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
- It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of 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 this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
