Hello Mcenedella, welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian. You can learn more on the how to edit page. The naming conventions and manual of style pages are also useful. Feel free to experiment at the Wikipedia:Sandbox. If you have any questions about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or add a question to the Village pump. Angela

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Hellman & Friedman, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

Hello Mcenedella! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 9 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

1. JAG Roberts - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Hi Mark, I noticed that the reference to Wists and Pinterest had been removed. (disclaimer, I was founder of Wists, although I didn't add this reference). Given that the original mention referenced it because, Om Malik, who is a well respected technology journalist, had written a piece on the history of Pinterest, pointing out that it was based on Wists, this would seem to be relevant history and background. Anyway, sorry to bother you. Divadwg 12:01, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Pinterest Hi Divadwg - I can appreciate your viewpoint. The reference was gratuitous, and not germane to the topic of Pinterest. Wists did not inspire, inform, or geminate Pinterest. I totally understand the pride of foundership. But in this case, for Wikipedia, it is not includable."

Actually it did, if you bothered to read up on the history of this stuff, which you clearly haven't. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Divadwg (talk • contribs) 12:53, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Divadwg (talk · contribs) -- With regards to your comment here on my talk page, I'll point out that Wikipedia's Wikipedia:Etiquette practices discourage personal attacks, and asks that editors "recognize your own biases, and keep them in check"." If you have substantive third-party attested facts as to the Founders of Pinterest consciously basing Pinterest on your prior work, please share them. Comments such as -- "if you bothered to read up on the history of this stuff, which you clearly haven't" -- are unproductive. Mcenedella (talk)(contribs) 13:21, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, with respect to your comments this was not a personal attack. Merely contesting your statement ' Wists did not inspire, inform, or geminate Pinterest'. You give no evidence as to how you substantiate this claim. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Divadwg (talk • contribs) 13:28, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
