developer program entry denied

Sorry newbie here. I would like to try this again but need to retrieve the original text and can't figure it out how to access the full text of my original submission.

Not sure how to avoid company names since developer programs are always associated with a company. See: Apple Developer Program. AT&T developer program. developer.sprint.com, etc.

Thank you.

Sorry I had to delete this page. We generally don't include the names of companies (see the policy WT:COMPANY), except in certain cases such as McDonald's, and even that is undergoing a request for verification. —Internoob 05:34, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Oh sorry, I realize now that this isn't really a company name at all. I saw the link on the page to developerprogram.com and I assumed that it was promotional material for that site/company. I'll restore the page.

I don't know really what a developer program is beyond what you've written but it seems to me that the definition could be pruned to help comprehension. The phrase "via published APIs, SDKs and NDKs" might be changed to "by providing access to resources" or some such thing (make it more general and more accurate). I'll leave that up to people that are more familiar with the topic. Also, I realize that the external links go to examples of developer programs but external links aren't aren't usually used here, except for references. They tend to look spammy and don't fit in with dictionary material very well IMO.

How can I retrieve my original, initial definition for "developer program" which was rejected? I need to retrieve that verbiage so I can begin working on a Wikipedia entry. Thank you.

Under the History tab of the entry, click the date for the version that you want. You probably want this one then.

Hello.

We want to create a Wikipedia entry for "developer program."

Developer programs are a $billion+ industry. Google it.

Little public information is available because all programs compete for same developers and they don't share technology or best practices information.

Many developer program attempts fail as a result. It appears to be solely a technical problem; technology is the easy part. Most developer program people learn this the hard way, and we hope to use Wikipedia to help educate the industry.

We simply are looking for a venue for to educate people. The approach we hope to take requires input for everyone in the industry and we need your advice. We understand the Wikipedia processes. Instead, we are looking for some insights. Who can we talk with?

Thank you.

Hello.

I think you should ask for help at Wikipedia's Help desk. I am only a Wiktionary administrator and all I know is that Wikipedia is a more appropriate place for the stuff you want to do than Wiktionary.

Cheers
