The article Jeremy Karpen has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Pre election political propoganda

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Kudpung (talk) 12:29, 30 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Proposal for deletion edit

I'm afraid you may have misunderstood the instructions on the deletion proposal template. You may only remove the template if you improve the article to comply with Wikipedia policy and guidelines. What you effectively did was to replace the promotional material I had removed, and add more (Huffington Post). I am escalating this for immediate deletion.--Kudpung (talk) 13:46, 30 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

As noted on the page, I outlined my reasoning on why I felt the added material addressed your concern.Rather than address the open disscussion you escalated. Your edits were not noticed because you failed to annotate or discuss them and my edit overwrote yours as a result. Please address my specific unanswered questions to improve the article. Otherwise your determination has only been addressed by the evidence of your shorthand opinion? Why edit a document you then nominate for swift deletion? If the topic has the merit to warrant your editing, why does my documented actions of editing change that? Because it overwrote your undocumented edit? My arguement against this poorly reviewed request for swift deletion goes without a thoughtful reply and is met with unneeded speculation as to my polictical agenda.ConcentratedAllPurposeCleaner (talk) 17:23, 30 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

What recourse do I have when I feel an editor is acting vindictive or illogical? What is the appeal or review process should my article be removed?

Several options are available for inviting outside review of editor behavior. Before directing you to those venues, I would like to ensure that you are familiar with the principle of the assumption of good faith. If an editor disagrees with one's position or view, as long as their actions are executed in good faith, then there is little to be done other than address the issues raised. You may find the answer to your inquiry regarding article deletion at Wikipedia:Deletion review. I'll watchlist this page in the event you have further questions or concerns.

I have at no time made any speculations about your personal political agenda - all my comments were specifically, and only, about the content of the article. My edits were correctly annotated in the edit summary, and in the page history, and the reasons for the proposed deletion have been extensively documented on the article talk page in a formal but friendly manner. I therefore strongly advise all editors in all manner of dispute, to read and understand our policies at assume good faith, and WP:GAME - statements such as 'editor is acting vindictive or illogical' might be extremely presumptuous and unfounded. I have assumed good faith in that I have accepted that you may not have been aware of the rules here, and have pointed out, with demonstration edits, how the article may approach an acceptable content. Nevertheless, the onus is on all editors to be aware of these rues before they post new articles to publicly viewable pages. If the article is deleted, you are welcome to follow standard procedure for appeal. There are no time pressures on either side. Thank you.--Kudpung (talk) 00:53, 31 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
you stated ...I'm sorry about all this, but Wikpedia is not the place to conduct an election campaign.--Kudpung (talk) 15:26, 30 October 2010 (UTC), since I am not conducting an election campaign, this must be speculation? Your Edit summary entries seem ok now that I have become more familiar with the system, but the discussion placed on my User Page was undiscovered and effectively hid your reasoning on a place other than the page at hand, also probably my ignorance. You amplified my statement in your above reply by ommitting the conditional nature of my question. (i.e. What recourse do I have when I feel an editor is acting vindictive or illogical?) and this question never singled you out by name. Regardless, cooler heads have prevailed and we have several interested people working on this article. In fact I've incorporated your sandbox draft into the "current" version. Overall I've become a believer in the process and am looking forward to seeing how this unfolds. ConcentratedAllPurposeCleaner (talk) 05:22, 31 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Jeremy Karpen edit

 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Jeremy Karpen, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Kudpung (talk) 13:48, 30 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Jeremy Karpen - EDITING ASSISTANCE edit

An editor has placed a suggested draft article in your user space at: *User:ConcentratedAllPurposeCleaner/sandbox and the Speedy deletion notice has been removed with the comment: not unsalvageably promotional, notability issues may remain. If you wish, in order to address issues of promotional and notability, salvage the artice, and avoid further deletion processes, you may use this article to substitute the existing content at Jeremy Karpen, and if you no longer require the page you are free to blank the content from your sandbox. --Kudpung (talk) 01:06, 31 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for providing a thoughtful addition and investing time on this, I've incorporated it after another editor combed through the article with many edits. ConcentratedAllPurposeCleaner (talk) 05:25, 31 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Conflict of Interest edit

I would just like to point out that as Mr Karpen has today been officially warned for interfering with Wikipedia templates, and editing articles about himself, that we have a very strict policy at WP:COI about any editors creating or editing articles about theselves, and people with whom they may be closely connected.--Kudpung (talk) 02:00, 31 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Noted, but I am not Jeremy and I don't know how this Conflict of Interest belongs on my page. His ignorance seems relatively benign in its attempt to update his age? Whereas your posting this on my user page intends to accomplish what exactly? Is there prohibition from deleting it as irrelevant to our discussions? ConcentratedAllPurposeCleaner (talk) 05:29, 31 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
It's a courtesy note. A standard procedure at Wikipedia. It helps to ensure that everyone knows what's going on, and to avoid new and inexperienced editors from the unpleasant surprise of finding themselves implicated in something that could have been avoided. Formal warnings look very different. See Mr Karpen's page for examples.--Kudpung (talk) 07:46, 31 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
