Hey Todd...I'm new to Wikipedia, so I'm still learning the ropes and etiquette here...I used some other articles as models while writing Ifeanyi Chijindu's, so maybe I'm missed something? I've seen untagged articles that have the person's business all over it and there's hardly any sources. I don't know why my article got tagged for "advertisement" when I didn't include her company's website in her external links or in the thumb picture to the right. According to Wikipedia's style definition, it says in RE: to tagging articles for blatant advertising that "Note that simply having a company or product as its subject does not qualify an article for this criterion." So just because Ifeanyi's career is the main subject, doesn't mean it's advertising her. I think my tone was pretty neutral as I was just reporting her bio and career without making a judgement about whether it's good or bad...it just simply is. I don't see how this is considered advertising...

If you or someone could offer a more concrete example of how to remedy this in my article would be great. Also, I don't know why it's been tagged for "dispute" when there's lots of sources, online and printed. I'd really appreciate if you could help clarify these things for me since I want to do a good job on the article. Thanks! --Just The Facts Plz (talk) 23:33, 29 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

There were several citations pointing to http://ifeanyi411.com that were dead links on what appeared to me at the time to be a puff piece. It looked pretty fishy. Frankly, looking at it again, I don't see it either. I've removed the tags. Toddst1 (talk) 02:10, 30 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
