Consumer Priority Service
[edit]If you saw the discussion then presumably you'll be aware why this was deleted. The consensus among the people who took part in the discussion was that the company is not notable enough for inclusion. The relevant guideline that would need to be satisfied is WP:CORP. --Michig (talk) 07:36, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
A summary of some important site policies and guidelines
[edit]- Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. All we do here is cite, summarize, and paraphrase professionally-published mainstream academic or journalistic sources, without addition, nor commentary.
- We have a tutorial, The Wikipedia Adventure, if you would like to learn more about editing Wikipedia.
- Please sign your posts on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~, found next to the 1 key), and please do not change others' comments.
- "Truth" is not the only criteria for inclusion, verifiability is also required.
- Always cite a source for any new information. When adding this information to articles, use <ref>reference tags like this</ref>, containing the name of the source, the author, page number, publisher or web address (if applicable).
- We do not publish original thought nor original research. We're not a blog, we're not here to promote any ideology.
- Primary sources are usually avoided to prevent original research. Secondary or tertiary sources are preferred for this reason as well.
- Reliable sources typically include: articles from mainstream magazines or newspapers (particularly scholarly journals), or books by recognized authors (basically, books by respected publishers). Online versions of these are usually accepted, provided they're held to the same standards. User generated sources (like Wikipedia) are to be avoided. Self-published sources should be avoided except for information by and about the subject that is not self-serving (for example, citing a company's website to establish something like year of establishment).
- Articles are to be written from a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not concerned with facts or opinions, it just summarizes reliable sources. Real scholarship actually does not say what understanding of the world is "true," but only with what there is evidence for. In the case of science, this evidence must ultimately start with physical evidence. In the case of religion, this means only reporting what has been written and not taking any stance on doctrine.
Also, please don't assume that just because you don't know something that academia doesn't know it either. Babylons ruins were located 200 years ago, and all research in that area since then has confirmed that, yep, that's where Babylon was. It's location is not "unknown," it's quite well known.

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Ian.thomson (talk) 23:09, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
The bottom line
[edit]If you try to argue that one individual random map from 400 years ago that you like, (I like it too as a work of art), is more reliable than contemporary academic sources, then you will probably be blocked. There are many websites where you can share your own personal interpretations of these sources. Wikipedia is not among them. Wikipedia will always strive to accurately summarize what reliable contemporary sources say, and Wikipedia editors decide what is reliable based on consensus. If you you want to help shape consensus, then engage with that process seriously. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 06:15, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
