Christopher Raeburn

Hi there Tepli. It appears that you are somewhat confused over what happened with the article you created on Christopher Raeburn the fashion designer. First, I did not delete your article. I merely moved it to Christopher Raeburn (fashion designer). Wikipedia policy states that the more well known person with a particular name should be the one with the undisambiguated title and that lesser known individuals should add qualifiers in parenthesis. The record producer Christopher Raeburn is a much more well known person than the fashion designer. (for full rules see Wikipedia:Naming conventions)

Second, the article you created on the fashion designer was a blatant copywright violation of http://www.christopherraeburn.co.uk and therefore against the rules governing wikipedia. (see Wikipedia:Copyright violations) The article was not deleted by me but by user:Jclemens, a wikipedia administrator. Third, you should never delete an article with valuable content (as you did with the record producer) without just cause (i.e. copywright infringement, hoax, etc.) If you felt the fashion designer still deserved a page you could have just created one at Christopher Raeburn (fashion designer). Fourth, wikipedia is a collaborative encyclopedia and you do not own any content you add on here, as your statement to me implied. Please read WP:OWN.

Finally, when leaving comments for someone on wikipedia please do so on their talk page and not their user page. It is considered rude in the wikipedia community to edit another user's user space beyond their talk page (see Wikipedia:User page). It appears that you may be a Single-purpose account based on your edit history and I suspect that you may be connected in some way to Christopher Raeburn the fashion designer. If that is the case you have a conflict on interest in editing the article on the fashion designer and should familiarize yourself with wikipedia's COI policy (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest). If you have any questions or comments please feel free to contact me on my talk page. All the best.Singingdaisies (talk) 15:09, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
