User talk:Drahmel
Welcome!
[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you enjoy the encyclopaedia and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the simplified ruleset. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and the FAQ; plus, if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions). There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Also, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page.
Additional tips
[edit]Here are some extra tips to help you get around in Wikipedia:
- If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
- You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
- You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
- If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
- If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.

Thanks for your work in cleaning this up. Comments:
- See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Search Agency -- this article has been proposed for deletion based on "notability" -- has the company gotten enough attention elsewhere to merit an article" We have a couple of standards you should read closely if you think this article is worth keeping:
- Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) -- the criteria the article has to meet
- Wikipedia:Reliable sources -- "reliable sources" must be used in meeting the criteria. Note that we have very specific standards, so it's worth reading this page.
- There are a zillion other linked pages you could read in the welcome message up above, but these are the 2 that apply to the deletion discussion. Beyond that immediate issue, I'd start with the "simplified ruleset" link at the beginning to get a sense of our standards.
- Normally new editors' comments tend to be discounted a bit in these discussions, however, I still invite you to chip in.
- I made a couple of minor changes this morning to the article.
- You cited an Advertising Age article but I found no mention of The Search Agency in it. If the Search Agency is just listed as an entry in the top 20 of what are mostly smaller companies, that won't establish notability. However, if Ad Age wrote up a profile and it's more than a couple of sentences, that could tip the balance.
Again, thanks and welcome! --A. B. (talk) 12:17, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
