Conflict of interest discussions in 2010

Stratford Career Institute

→ in re: Stratford Career Institute (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

As a representative of Stratford Career Institute, we feel our page has been unfairly deleted. The purpose in listing our school on your site was to allow users to get the most accurate information about our school. We consider our Wikipedia listing to be informative in nature and not for promotional purposes.

Stratford Career Institute is a legitimate distance learning schools that was founded in 1991 and has enrolled more than one million students worldwide in that time.

There are a number of similar career institutes/distance learning schools listed on Wikipedia (Penn Foster, Ashworth, US Career Institute, Blackstone) and more. All of these schools' cover the same information in a similar manner to the Stratford Career Institute page.

We certainly welcome any suggestions for improvement of our listing and are happy to modify content etc, but do request that we are able to relist our school. We feel we are eligible to have an online presence on Wikipedia and that our listing is valuable to users.

We are respectfully requesting that our listing be reinstated.

Thank you for your consideration. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stratfordcareer (talk • contribs) 16:56, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

There may be a misunderstanding here about what Wikipedia is. It is an encyclopedia, not a free web host. Article content must be neutral, supported by references and citations of independent reliable sources.

Three versions of that article have been deleted by three different administrators, the first version as an attack page, the second as astroturfing, and the third as unambiguous advertising. You may appeal the deletion at Wikipedia:Deletion review, but did you read and understand the {{uw-coi}} information which was posted on your user talk page? — Athaenara ✉ 20:20, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

COI template

Please notice that Template:Uw-coi has been updated. Today you put an old version on User talk:Podurai and User talk:Artrg. The best way to use this template is {{subst:Uw-coi}} Debresser (talk) 20:18, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

I used to subst the template but found it increasingly aggravating to have to re-edit the text for additional articles or username cautions, so I edited my own version of the text (embedded here for convenience). Thank you for prompting me to check its current form and update the Category:User talk pages with conflict of interest notices part. — Athaenara ✉ 20:35, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Human trafficking in the Philippines

How to explain references

Hello, I wanted to ask a question in regards to an article on Human Trafficking Im involved in. The article has often been the subject of edits over the years where users have continuely tried to remove all mentions of child prostitution and foreign pedophelia from the article. The excuse for this has always been along the lines of NPOV. This is despite the fact the article has some close to 200 references, and every sentence of that article has one or more references. Now, I could very easily add 10 references to every sentence in the article, but doing this would make the article appear very messy. The thing is that many of the references cite the same ongoing trend, etc. Now, Im wondering, without me having to clutter the article with thousands of references, is there a way or banner, etc that explains all the references collectively also represent most of the sentences? Meaning that although say a certain sentence may have only one or two references tagged on its end, one must take note of all the references which also support each sentence. Do you understand what Im trying to say. Hope Ive expressed what Im trying to ask here, thankyou Susanbryce (talk) 14:38, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

I looked at the article and noticed at least one area where the format could be improved for a reference which was used more than once. For example, the identical "Prosecutions" section citations which are currently numbered 145, 146, and 147 could have the <ref name="name"> source </ref> format in the first instance and the <ref name="name"/> format in subsequent ones.

The Signpost had an interesting reference system updated item last September about using list-defined references to have all long-form citations in the {{reflist}} itself and short-form in-line citations in the text. I've used it in a few articles (e.g. here and here) and think it's an improvement but the prospect of converting a long pre-existing article with many citations can be daunting.

If some sources support most of the text, one method is to have those sources listed in a references section while in-line citations are displayed in a footnotes section (Wikipedia:Footnotes#Style recommendations refers to Wikipedia:Citing sources#Shortened footnotes for this).

Unfortunately, I'm not sure I fully understand how to implement what you have in mind. Help talk:Footnotes or Wikipedia talk:Citing sources might be good places to ask. – Athaenara ✉ 22:40, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Stewart Enterprises

→ see also: Stewart Enterprises (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

I saw the article for Stewart enterprises while in Huggle and the article was speedy deleted before I could edit it. Despite the COI issues, the article was fairly neutral in wording and made an explicit claim of notability in being the second largest funeral services provider in the United States. While sources were not added properly, there were inline sources provided. I'd like to ask that the article be undeleted so that appropriate changes could be made to address any issues with the article. As a neutrally written article it would appear that WP:CSD#G11 does not apply. Alansohn (talk) 23:45, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

I don't agree that it was fairly neutral (especially the "Stewart’s funeral homes and cemeteries offer families a complete range of services and products including family consultations, burial preparation, flowers and caskets to mausoleums, lawn crypts, markers, and urn niches ..." line) but you can take it to deletion review or ask one of the admins listed here for a copy to improve. – Athaenara ✉ 00:00, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Hello, Michael. The problem here is that an "advertising agency and search engine marketing company ... offering search engine optimisation, web promotion and search engine marketing strategies" (quote from deleted article) is apparently trying to use Wikipedia for that very purpose. Wikipedia:Search engine optimization#Best Practices for SEOs and SEMs Participating in Wikipedia has some insight into that.

I just created an article for the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES). It was deleted speedily for unambigous advertising by you. It's a non-profit organization which is involved in educating surgeons. I am willing to delete any sections which are considered advertising since this was not the intent, but please undelete the article. I was hoping to have other members of the organization provide more information and input this week.

Hi. A few days ago I posted an article about New York Food Tours, which was nominated for Speedy Deletion under the G11 criteria. I have edited the article and re-read the Wikipedia Business and publication policy. I believe I have edited the article so that it does not violate any of these rules. Is there a way I can get feedback from you, or should I just post the article? I am aware of the guidelines, yet I do not want this to harm my account or block the New York Food Tours company from Wikipedia. Thank you. Superdeed (talk) 15:07, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

The userspace version still reads more like an enthusiastic magazine article than an encyclopedia entry, but editing for neutrality (WP:NPOV) may salvage it for a move to article space. If you have a conflict of interest, that may not be easy. WikiProject Food and drink editors might come forward to assist you if you ask on the project's talk page. Good luck. – Athaenara ✉ 21:00, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Found Organic

→ in re: Found organic (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

You deleted a page I created called "found Organic" on the basis of unambiguous advertising or promotion.

Can you please explain why?

The content was scripted as a generic business overview, much like Innocent drinks, Pom Wonderful, etc to name 2 of hundreds of brands that have a brief summary of their operations.

If there is changes that need to be made can you please tell me what they are, in which i will make them.

Mark —Preceding unsigned comment added by Markfound007 (talk • contribs) 16:34, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

The product sounds great, but the entry was tagged {{db-g11}} because it was written like a promotional press release, not a neutral encyclopedia entry. When one has a proprietary conflict of interest it's difficult to write about a subject in the objective style which is appropriate for an encyclopedia. Aside from style issues, the text must be supported by independent reliable sources (WP:RS) which demonstrate the product's notability (WP:N). You may be able to get some help with it by asking on the WikiProject Food and drink talk page. Good luck. – Athaenara ✉ 21:00, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Hello, can you please take this article which was deleted and userfy it into my personal sandbox? I understand the mistakes in the article and am happy to correct them and ask for editorial assistance before any attempt to publish again. The article was in no way meant to be an advertisement and the content that was included from change.org/petitions was the full text of a public petition to government and it was quoted as such and only intended to reflect, in full, the complete context of the public petition to government. I will be happy to summarize the content in the petition and cite the sources. Also, the citations from blogs can be replaced with other news sources such as CNN, WorldNewsVine, and MSNBC which have reported the same content.Usunemployed (talk) 05:47, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

See Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles. There are instructions at the top of that page. – Athaenara ✉ 05:55, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Speaking as someone who is in that category, I would personally not resurrect it. There was no content in there that was based on any reliable sources and it was all directly promotional. It seems unlikely, but if you really, really feel the need to start an article, create a new draft in your userspace - there's nothing salvageable from that first incarnation. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 17:55, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

The page history shows that a dozen or more users edited it after it was created in September 2008, and it had been tagged for multiple issues, including {{advert}} and {{self-published}}, for more than a year. It was finally tagged {{db-spam}} this month.

Your position at a PR firm retained by the company does not confer page ownership (see WP:OWN). You might want to take it to Wikipedia:Deletion review, but keep in mind that your conflict of interest does cloud the issue. – Athaenara ✉ 23:00, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Multibionta

Hi Athaenara:

I have a few question regarding the speed deletion of the Multibionta Wiki page. Firstly, I understand the points that were provided regarding the "Marketing campaigns" subheading and links. I actually agree with these items for removal as it does seem like product promotion. I really want you to know that this was not the intent. I developed this page as a result of a a digital coupon found online and numerous questions posted by interested viewers. That said, the Multibionta page's intent is to provide an unbiased look at what Multibionta exactly is, how it works, and some scientific data on multivitamin/probiotics. I recieved a notification that the page was considered an "orphan" as well as a tip to add categories. Upon following this direction, I did realize that some of the page's content should be revised (noteably the marketing related information). All other information is purely unbiased and substantiated by the scientific studies referenced (I'm a healthcare guy). With this in mind, am I able to repost the page, add the "hangon" leader, and revise the content to not include any marketing related information? Originally, I thought this content would be of value to readers given the context in which I developed the page, but have since realized that it should not be included within Wikipedia pages. I am relatively new to the Wiki community and would love to hear your insights on improving this page so that it is at a quality/standard suitable for Wikipedia.

Thanks so much, Athaenara. I really appreciate your time and guidance. Have a great day and looking forward to your response.

Cheers,

Hello,

I have removed your speedy-G11 tag from this article because I believe the article is not so promotional in tone that it would "require a fundamental rewrite in order to become encyclopedic." I agree that it has some problems with tone and style, but the subject appears to be notable (per Google News) and I believe the article is fixable.

Bren School of Environmental Science & Management

Hello,

The article/page I posted today about the Bren School of Environmental Science & Management at UC Santa Barbara was deleted. After I wrote it, I received a warning that it could qualify for quick deletion. I read the reasons for that, understood them and then set out to address them, removing anything that did not occur to me as "encyclopedic" and recasting the article in a "neutral" tone. I then re-saved the page. I see articles for institutions of higher learning all over wikipedia and cannot understand why mine was deleted.

I did receive a couple of notes after the article was deleted, and referencing line 8 and line 15. But since the article has been deleted, I have no way of knowing what those lines were or what offenses I may have committed within them.

People do look for the Bren School, and for graduate schools in general, and people do use Wikipedia to find them. I am new authoring on Wikipedia and am trying to do it right. Any guidance appreciated. I'd especially like to have a copy, at least, of my deleted page and a tip on how to fix it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brenwikiedit (talk • contribs) 00:22, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Mentez

Athaenara,

I created a talk page for Mentez to request the creation of that article. I thought I did everything necessary to request the page. -- I explicitly stated that I had a conflict of interest. -- I tried to give as much information as possible

You left me a message on my User_talk:Malandrew page. As far as I can tell I followed the COI guidelines completely. Where did I go wrong?

I would like to re-submit a request for the creation of this article, but I need to know what mistake I made so i don't make it again.

Thanks,

I had posted an article on William Grauer on Wikipedia a few months ago which you had deleted. I revised the article significantly (a copy is below). I re-posted as well. What other changes might you recommend I make to help make the article qualify? The individual I am writing about argued a monumental case for the Supreme Court. I appreciate your help, as this is my first Wiki article. Happy to incorporate any suggestions you might have.

I understand I also need to make sure it is not an orphaned article. Is there a minimum number of sites that I should link it to so as not to be orphaned?

I'm confused about why the page was deleted so quickly. I'm new to wiki and reviewed a bunch of the help articles before writing and posting. I know I deleted the speedy deletion template, but that was inadvertant. I interpreted the directions as if you write on the talk page you delete the tags and the discussion takes place there. I had a few other users help with editing the page and none of them thought it was advertising. I'm hoping you can point out what specifically made you think it was advertising? I'd like the opportunity to fix the page before it is deleted. From the time it was tagged until it was deleted was less than a hour. Thanks for your help. Docexpert101 (talk) 14:19, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

If you want to proceed with this in spite of the {{uw-coi}} and other information posted on your talk page (which I hope you have read), you can try Wikipedia:Deletion review and/or the Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard. – Athaenara ✉ 14:36, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

I'm not trying to be confrontational here, I'm just trying to figure out how to change the tone or delete content that is promtional. I posted something on the Litera talk page saying the same thing, and next thing I knew the page was gone and there was no opportunity for discussion. I'm just looking for how to improve the article. I have read my talk page, but all it did was state statues and rules but didn't tell me how or why my page fell under those. I understand you think there is a COI, but there isn't. (I don't see much point in trying to convince you of that.) I understand you think its advertisting, but I'm asking why? It doesn't assert one product or company is better than others, it gives a description of what the company does, products offered and clients. I've looked at other companies pages, like Masterfoods, and feel like the Litera page followed the same format and had a similar tone. Again, I'm not being confrontational, I'm trying to make it right because I worked hard. Thanks. Docexpert101 (talk) 14:50, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Those notices offer and link to good advice, so please read them. Your article duplicates content from the company's website, blogs, and press releases which offer its own view of itself, without citing independent reliable sources attesting to its notability. It's promotional, not encyclopedic. I don't care to be confrontational, either. – Athaenara ✉ 15:21, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Since I hadn't made any updates for close to 2 months now, Would it be possible to access the page history and content (and if possible, the final edit responsible for the page's being tagged as advertising) so we can correct it?

After TataCommunications was blocked, you registered as Technologyusa and continued to edit. Neither account was used for any encyclopedic purpose, but rather to edit articles about your company solely.

You, the online marketing manager for your company, need to understand that single-purpose accounts with a conflict of interest have no credibility here when they are used solely to promote particular commercial interests (see Wikipedia:Spam). – Athaenara ✉ 07:40, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

I don't fully understand your targeting for deletion of this article. This article was not intended to promote the doctor, merely, just to serve as a informative collection of her notable work on Breast Cancer. Based on her research and media appearances, it should be evident that the individual does qualify. You cite "conflict of interest." I assume this is because I work for the individual, however, who would know more about that person than a primary source? Should wikipedia be writen by secondary sources instead?

It turned up there because of what it claimed to be a copyright violation from another page, however, I wrote that page as well and have full rights to its use. I have read the policies and guidelines, and respectfully, I would like to point out that it is in compliance and is not "unambigous promotion" as you have flagged and does not require a substantial rewrite under G11. I would like the opportunity to insert the references to each research papers abstract and references to the IMBD re: the media appearances as well. I will also rewrite the first section to summarize it if it continues to be flagged. Re: it beign a "CV" I based the format of the article on other notable MDs.

It's essentially a résumé created by one of the subject's employees, who blanked the warnings from his or her user talk page (diff) after re-creating the article.

I dont understand what you admins think is wrong with this article. It simply provides factual evidence that would be found in any database and is of value to those interested in investment banking and financial services. I think its a crime to remove the article due to "self promotion" when different articles from 60 to 70 other banks, styled in exactly the same way have been allowed to remain.

Hi Athaenara, I was writing an article about a humanitarian project we are developing. The project is non profit. What i was writing in the article is how the project works, because we thought this could be a way to share knowledge. The concepts we describe there are related to the work by some economists in the economic field of commons-based peer production, so we were writing the article for informative reasons, not for advertisement.

I believe the article is written in a neutral language, but it does include a small paragraph in it explaining how our project compares to traditional humanitarian projects.

Hi Athaenara,

I tried to provide an article about ODABA, but it has been deleted immediately. The reason to add this article was that ODABA is listed in the list ob object-oriented database management systems, but without any explanation (unresolved reference) what it is about. Similar to ObjectStore and other database systems in the list, I tried to provide a short definition, but, obviously, I made something wrong. Can you tell me, what went wrong? Maybe, it was a mistake, to choose the username ODABA. I noticed this the next day when the user had been deleted. I created a new user name and added the article again, unfortunately with a misspelled name Odaba, and hence, the reference in the database list is still unresolved, which I would like to correct in a proper way. I am not going to promote ODABA using Wikipedia. ODABA is Open Source (GPL) and exists since more than 15 years, and I would like to explain to people, what it is. Please, let me know, when Wikipedia is not the right place for publishing this sort of knowledge.

Regarding the Removal of Tera Melos' Band Page

Athaenara,

What level of significance/importance do bands' pages need to prove the bands have garnered in order for them to be safe from deletion by you and your cohorts? Do 1,759 people on Facebook [external link redacted] who label themselves as fans of the band contribute at all to their level of significance? Does 22236 friends on their Myspace Music [external link redacted] page contribute? How about 1254 followers on Twitter [external link redacted]? I believe all of those followers and fans believe Tera Melos are important.

But I have a feeling neither you nor your Wikifriends care about them in the slightest.

How about the fact that they are an essentially genre-less band (or at least are striving to be genre-less) thriving in a music culture whose inhabitants' main goal is to sound the most like others who have already come and gone? I don't really see why The Airborne Toxic Event has any more right to retain a Wikipedia page than Tera Melos. Is it their level of renown that puts them past the point of 'unimportant' into the realm of 'important'?

Furthermore, why delete the page outright? Is it really so important for you and the other self-labeled 'Curators' and 'Cleaners' and 'Librarians' to add another page deletion to your list? Why not put the page on a sort of probationary period so that its frequenters (of which there are many in this case, I assure you) can have the chance to right the wrongs you all have imposed upon the page?

I understand that without guidelines and rules and moderators working to keep this place neat, it wouldn't be a tenth of the fantastic thing that it is now. I also admit that I am not exactly a master of all things related to Wikipedia, not by a long shot. But I do believe that perhaps there is a point where things need to be reassessed. Again, I admit I am new to this entire thing and only an infrequent browser of Wikipedia. I just have a strong moral compass, and despite my personal bias toward the band whose page you have aided in the deletion of, I feel doing what you have done without warning is wrong and unfair.

I hope you will reconsider your actions. There are a lot of upset people.

Deletion of our wikipedia entry - explanaition request

Hi Althaenara, I saw that you reviewed and deleted my entry to Wikipedia for CnR Create. I would appreciate if you can comment on your reasoning:

1) I took a reference from an EXISTING Wikipedia entry from Bond No.9 - and we basically copied entirely the way THEY presented themselves.

2) Now if Bond Nr. 9 can publish their Wikipedia entry in the way they did - why would ours be deleted and not allowed to be published ? We do not intend to publish ANYTHING DIFFERENT than they (or for the matter other perfume companies) did.

I would appreciate to understand this better. Furthermore it would be valuable to know more about if we need to change something what this would have to be.

Bond No. 9 was similarly created, tagged, and deleted. – Athaenara ✉ 21:00, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi Athaenara,

I saw that Bond Nr. 9 has been taken out from Wikipedia - so the behavior of Wikipedia is now consistent. We appreciate your comments as to how to add an article to Wikipedia and the reasoning for taking out our company CnR Create is now understandable.

We will look into how to improve - and ask an independent person to write an independent view of our company. In case this still does not work we may just accept not to be listed on Wikipedia. Our purpose to be listed is not for advertising - we have many other means to achieve advertising through the internet, but to allow people to know about the company.

In the meantime - thanks and appreciate your swift reaction.

I'm confused about rating this article as Unambiguous Advertisting or Promotion. We included no advertising in the article, listing what we do but never once encouraging people to visit our website or do business with us. Our goal in creating an article was to allow people in our community to find information about our company; our logo appears in several areas in the community because of the high level of community engagement we perform, and we wanted people to be able to find out more about us.

The majority of the article was designed to provide a history of the company, list community engagement and involvement, and describe technologies that we have contributed to the direct marketing arena through our own internal development. We linked to several charitable organizations for whom we perform services, thus verifying our claims, and while we are not nationally known we are notable within our own community.

Finally, every effort was made to ensure a neutral tone, avoiding marketing speak. I would like to do anything possible to make the article conform to Wikipedia standards. Thank you for your assistance. Jimkennel (talk) 21:42, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

Re: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parris_Cues

Athaenara, I have read you conflict of interest information and have already requested that my account be unlocked so as to change my username, any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated. At the time of creation I was unaware that the use of a business name was an issue.

The intended use of this Wiki page is not for advertising or promotion, but to enable users to be better informed about the organisation. Main aim was to ensure that information posted was factual and correct, with the best interest of the Wiki community in mind. The only reason an external link to the Parris Cues website was included was to satisfy the 'content must be referenced to a valid source' rule, so as to avoid deletion.

Also as there is a current wiki page regarding John Parris, (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Parris) the intention is to refer the pages to each other to enhance the content of both.

This user

is pushing his anti-science, fundamentalist views, engaging in original research, and now edit-warring.

He is an editor from a right-wing, ideological website and is thus pushing an agenda. His edits are akin to anti-science fundamentalists attempting to take over articles on Darwinism and evolution.

In any case, this certainly needs the attention of a third-party, reliable admin.Ryoung122 18:42, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

There are a bunch of different issues (copyvio / OR) that they have introduced through their requests, but in the spirit of growing (rather than limiting) the project I was thinking about giving them another chance as long as they are willing to follow the rules.

WwTrails.org – World Wide Trails Archive

→ in re: WwTrails.org – World Wide Trails Archive (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Hello! I have posted an article about a website wwTrails.org. This is a website that archiving hiking and mountain bike trails around the world. If you are a trail lover, you know how hard it is to find trails in new places, when you go on vacation for example. wwTrails.org designed to deals with this issue, allowing its visitors to find, review and take virtual ride on trails in unknown territory, all over the world. Copyrights wise, I have wrote every word in this article, none was copied from the Internet, and the entire article review the trails subject from a very uncommon view point, and provide natural information about the ability of wwTrails.org. Although wwTrails is only about a year old it has 10s of thousands trails in it, and several unique features. Would you please visit the website and judge for your self? I took freedom to send you few links that demonstrate best what this website is all about.

The 2 reasons for the deletetion: 1. Copyrights - 100% of this article was written by me. All external links are going to a website I created and 100% own. None was copied and paste or taken from other site or other authors. 2. Promotion - It is true that visitors that would read about the website and will visit it will promote it, but the website is a .org, completely free for everyone, is cover an important issue for those who loves trails and is an institute on its own rights. 3. Wikipedia ask to be extra careful where conflict of interest may be, such as in my case where I write about a website I have made, but please read the article and you'll find no ranking (such ans Yah - Very good site -you must go there) no denounce over other websites (such as "Unlike other bad website the good wwTrails is so and so) an no promotional language involved. The article is informative and objective, and express neither express positive nor negative opinion.

I do request that 1. Please visit the links below and judge for your self. 2. Please reconsider and reinstate the article.

Nothing is wrong when private individual create a significant work that can benefit the public and genuinely try to inform people who may be interested.

I do hop that you'll visit and reconsider the website.

Thank you so, Tal Bahir.

Basically I'll modify the introduction as below and only place a link to our website in the links section, dropping all other content. Our goal is to have a Wikipedia page that counters our competitor Stromasys while staying within Wikipedia guidelines.

Question Regarding Removal of DeOlivera Twigg Eubanks Creative

I am inquiring as to the specific reasons my post for "DeOlivera Twigg Eubanks Creative" was removed and labeled as ‎ (G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion.) Granted, I am new to Wikipedia in that this was my first attempt at publication; however, I believe my article maintained a stringent adherence to the guidelines at Wikipedia:Starting an article. Furthermore, I am curious as to how the Leo Burnett Worldwide and Crispin Porter + Bogusky articles remain published when DTE Creative has garnished nearly as many accolades, has maintained corporate growth for nearly 4 decades and is largely attributed to having solely provoked a major industry shift in the early 80's. Perhaps my article was prematurely published? If so I do understand; however, it was my intention to have other individuals expand upon the initial publication and citations as that is the working model of Wikipedia. Thank you very much for your time and prompt attention to this matter as my attempt at publication of this article is time sensitive due to it's affiliation with a school project. Lastly, any advise you can provide in appropriately editing the article prior to resubmission would be greatly appreciated.

Please tell me:

1. According to Wikipedia guidelines, can an editor place a {{db-g7}} request, when this editor is the only one who contributed the substantial content of the page?

2. Would you like to do me a favor? To follow the following description of the sequence of events, which proves (by clear diffs) that I was the only editor who contributed the substantial content of the page?

3. After having read this description, do you agree that I was the only editor who contributed the substantial content of the page?

Here is the sequence of events, which proves that User:Cohneli was the only editor who contributed the substantial content of the page.

• On 19:24, 24 October 2010: User:Cohneli created the page.

• 19:24, 24 October 2010, and 19:39, 24 October 2010: Two identical versions.

• After 19:39, 24 October 2010, until 21:46, 24 October 2010: All edits made during this period were of User:Cohneli's.

• 21:46, 24 October, and 22:45, 24 October 2010: The only difference between these two versions was the change of the dashes "-" to the dashes "–".

• After 22:45, 24 October 2010, until 08:44, 26 October 2010: All edits made during this period were of User:Cohneli's.

Cohneli (talk) 10:50, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

[outdent] It could have been deleted (as it was) per your reasoning but the proverbial ton of bricks would then fall, courtesy of other editors who think the article can be salvaged and are updating it (primarily The Rambling Man). The situation has moved beyond db-author regardless of your assertion of ownership (please see the ownership of articles policy). If you wish to pursue it further, Editor assistance/Requests is one alternate venue. – Athaenara ✉ 22:55, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Ownership? I've never claimed that. I'm just talking about by having been the only author who contributed the substantial content. When I asked to delete the article, you deleted it, and you based your decision on my being the only author (who contributed the substantial content), but some minutes later you restored it, although nobody had claimed that they had intended to "salvage" it. So why did you restore it? i.e. what was bad in your first decision to delete it? Cohneli (talk) 08:05, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Anyways, according to the nine diffs I described above, do you think that I can still be considered the only author who contributed the substantial content? Cohneli (talk) 09:02, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Although I really don't want to be involved in this, I'll make an observation. Your contributions since your registration about six weeks ago indicate that you have shown an interest in only one article, which suggests that yours is not just a single-purpose account but a single-article account.

Apart from the apparent ownership issues which I mentioned last month, I don't know what's up with that, but if you still want the thing deleted you can follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion to open a community deletion discussion. – Athaenara ✉ 18:08, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your response.

Re the single-article account: You're right, I don't want to be a "single-article" account, and this is one of the reasons why I want to delete this single article to which I contributed the substantial content, in order to be a "zero-article" account...:) Anyways, there is another reason for my desire to delete this article: I think it's a wrong article, which can never be updated, because it's based on an old methodology no longre used by UN, while the new methodology has another article!

Re the ownership issue, I have already responded to it, but you haven't referred to my response. See above my response, on 11 November, at 08:05.

Thank you for your advice to open community deletion discussion.

Thank you for your consent to "make an observation": I would like to know if you think that the nine diffs I presented above, prove that I can be considered the only author who contributed the substantial content to the article.

Cohneli (talk) 18:21, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

You can be but clearly other editors found your insistence on it to be an insufficient basis for deletion. I remind you of the statement displayed below the edit box on all Wikipedia pages:

If you do not want your writing to be edited, used, and redistributed at will, then do not submit it here.

Other than that, I have no further comments. – Athaenara ✉ 18:42, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

The users who asked you to restore the article you had deleted, only claimed that I couldn't be the only author who contributed the substantial content to the article. However, they were wrong. Any other editor who presented any other claim (i.e. who claimed that the article can be updated), came up only after you restored the article you had deleted; Also this "other" claim was wrong (as I explained in my previous response), but this is another matter. I've only asked you about the substantial content, and thank you for your response. Cohneli (talk) 21:35, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

FocusVision

→ in re: FocusVision (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) and IModerate (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

I understand you deleted the page for FocusVision. It is the first time I write a page for Wikipedia and I modeled it after the iModerate page, which is a company similar to FocusVision. Can you explain where I fell short? I am willing to revise it if necessary.

For perspective, FocusVision is well know in the market research industry. In fact, FocusVision has become a generic name synonimous whith live streaming of focus groups, i.e., often clients ask to "focusvision" their focus groups. The company was even mentioned in Time magazine (one of teh reference I included) and on NBC (I could not find the clip). Thanks in advance for your response. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Grosgogeat (talk • contribs) 23:20, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Your article about your company was deleted per {{db-g11}} as unambiguous advertising. Please read the {{uw-coi}} information posted to your user talk page. – Athaenara ✉ 00:04, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

How is it different from the page for iModerate? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Grosgogeat (talk • contribs) 00:45, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Both are self-promotional and created from single-purpose accounts with conflicts of interest (coi spas). I undeleted yours and re-tagged it. – Athaenara ✉ 02:22, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Tks. I will revise it to remove the description about the services and keep it more generic. I hope it will address your concerns. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Grosgogeat (talk • contribs) 13:54, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

I revised the article to remove all the advertising language and I asked one of the users (who has no connection to the company) to also edit the article. I hope it addresses your concerns. Otherwise, I will be glad to try again if you let me know the specific paragraphs that are still an issue. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Grosgogeat (talk • contribs) 20:52, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

This page should have not been deleted, It was not a repost, it had new information that was asked to be added to sustain it being a page. This page should be allowed to be. It was deleted for improper reasons and encompasses abuse of power by administrators. Ruinsofman (talk) 04:46, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Hello,

I attempted to write an article called One Love Festival, but I used that as my username and apparently it was seen as advertising, I have created a personal account and would like to reattempt the article to ensure it is seen as purely factual, is there anything that can be done?

Athaenara, you deleted a page I created, Pacific Oaks Federal Credit Union, several months ago for "unambiguous advertising." As a Wikipedia newbie, I read all the cautionary notes about creating a page, and then modeled my page EXTREMELY close to Wescom Credit Union's page. During the deletion process, I pleaded for feedback from the Wiki storm troopers to no avail. The page was simply deleted. I truly attempted to follow the rules, used an abundance of caution in the language, and copied the format and form of a similar page on a similar topic. With the utmost deference, respect, and ring kissing and deep bowing, oh WikiGoddess, what may I do have the secret council restore this page? Or, are there just simply different rules for different folks, rendering wikipedia entirely unreliable and random?

Hi, I came to update office location information on Wikipedia for Capitol Media Solutions and the page has been deleted. I did not create the page, but I am one of a few people in charge of keeping Capitol Media online information updated. Can you provide us with information on why the page was deleted and what we need to do to get it back? Thank you.

Capitol Media Solutions

In the process of updating my company information I came to Wikipedia to find that our page had been deleted. I was not the creator of the page and would like to make the changes necessary to get our article back up. Would you please forward the article that was previously posted so I can make the changes? You listed(Unambiguous advertising or promotion)as the reason it was deleted. Please contact me at 404.347.3316 or email me at Callie@capitolmediasolutions.com 68.16.111.42 (talk) 17:15, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

With regard to your request for a copy of the article which was deleted as spam, consult my bulletin board above for the category of admins who may provide that.

As for your desire to have an article about your company on Wikipedia, please read the conflict of interest warnings on User talk:Andreahrizk. – Athaenara ✉ 18:22, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi there. I was wondering why my page was up for speedy deletion last week and then ultimately deleted? I know it was listed because of advertising purposes, but in no way was that the case, it was created with the intent of pure encyclopedic purposes much like other hospital and healthcare systems that are found on Wikipedia. Please advise the next step so I can improve upon this (the content) and not have this happen in the future. Thank you for your help and time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LFed25 (talk • contribs) 15:45, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Recreate MCGHealth page

Hi. I want to recreate the MCGHealth page with revised content. Any pointers to suggest? I've seen several articles that have the same points that I had in my original article (in fact I modeled it after other ones) and it still got deleted. Please advise. Thanks LFed25 (talk) 14:25, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

Your page was unambiguous advertising and promotion, regardless of your claim to the contrary, with no citations of independent reliable sources to demonstrate its notability. If you haven't read the {{uw-coi}} warnings on your talk page, please do so. – Athaenara ✉ 17:50, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

Curtis Neeley

help please

I am unaware of how a redirect page is removed. I donated a full resolution notable file to Wikimedia that was once listed as figurenude_26_by_Curtis_Neeley.jpg that redirects now to figurenude_26_by_CN_Foundation.jpg or similar. Could you remove the redirect so that a 404 error would replace it? I am trying to keep my children from encountering my figurenude art while at schools etc. We have made a great deal of progress but I am afraid the redirect will support Google Inc continuing to display a thumbnail of a nude. Could you remove the redirect? Could you let me know of your response? Enjoy the holidays. CurtisNeeley (talk) 14:37, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

That redirect doesn't actually exist on Wikipedia but on Wikimedia Commons, where I'm not an admin, so you'll have to ask over there about it, but I can follow through locally if you want another image to be deleted – Athaenara ✉ 18:18, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

Thank you Ma'am I will go there. I thought the two were the same. I will inquire there. I do not want anything deleted. I only want my name removed so it stops returning in safe searches by my daughter at school when searching for my name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CurtisNeeley (talk • contribs) 17:22, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

Zamora (musician) now at (pianist)

Greetings! You deleted Zamora (musician) earlier this evening as blatant spam and protected the page. Angel2021 (talk · contribs) has created a new version at Zamora (pianist). I don't see the spam issues, although the article is heavy on the bibliography and discography and lacking in prose. It's also very weakly sourced. Is this okay to move back to the prior title, or do you have the same concerns? —C.Fred (talk) 04:03, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
