Welcoming your collaboration

Would you be so kind as to review the response to your edits on my talk page? I'm certainly no expert on the use of Wikipedia, and I would appreciate any advice you can offer on my usage so that I am not labeled a spammer or disruptive user. Thank you so much. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eastsidetruman (talk • contribs) 19:40, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

ALL of your edits so far have been to introduce links to "The Joy of Giving Something, Inc" why would I NOT think you are a spammer?Teapotgeorge^Talk 20:58, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Need some substance behind your removals

Please take a look at my talk page with links to my issue on the External Links page. The links I am adding follow the guidelines for External Links to the T and things are explained there. Please also revert all the edits you made to take out my links unless you have pastable reasoning to why you're removing them thanks!.

Yes, don't recommend the page I just added for sppedy deletion. There are no copyright issues here. The link I used was created by the company I work for and there are no copyright violations whatsoever. —Preceding unsigned comment added by RSOgden (talk • contribs) 21:53, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Stop proposing the page on Robyn Griggs Lawrence is in violation of copyright rules. I work for Naturral Home magazine and its publisher. This page will not be delted and I'd appreciate it if you would stop posting comments.

Wikipedia is NOT created by copying and pasting from websites especially your own websites! Teapotgeorge^Talk 22:07, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

We reserve the right to reprint and reuse anything that we have written on any of our Webs sites, as WE ourselves have copyrighted it. I wrote the copy on the Web site that is being "copied and pasted" in the first place, why should I have to rewrite it for Wikipedia? That makes no sense! Stop attacking the intergrity of this page.

Dusie

I removed your speedy deletion tag from the article because DB-A7 criteria is that the article does not assert notability, not that it has none. The article clearly asserts notability with several links to 3rd party independant reviews of the subject. If you wish to PROD or AfD the article, I am not opposed, I just do not feel the article meets A7. Happy Editting!--TParis00ap (talk) 15:13, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi,

I have identified them as vandalism on precisely that premise: over-linking. The user has a history of over-linking (and subsequent warnings). Despite some of the links possibly being useful, there have been links included to 'woolen': I don't think that sort of thing exactly enhances the article. Given that some of the links are entirely redundant, and others questionable at the least, I have reverted the entire thing.

Cheers,

You cannot just copy material into wikipedia, as you did with the Ani Batikian article. The copyright of this is owned by someone else, and wikipedia is very strict about copyright. You can use your own words to write something that uses the ideas in this text, and then quote it as a source. Teapotgeorge^Talk 17:36, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

I had a e-mail.contact with owner of that site, what i should ask him about copyright?

Speedy deletion declined: Pradeep Navelkar

I removed your speedy deletion tag from the article Pradeep Navelkar because criterion WP:A7 is for articles that do not assert significance, not for articles that have no notability. The article asserts that the person in question was a member of the Indian national hockey team, which is significant. Please read or re-read WP:A7. — Sebastian 00:41, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Correction is NOT vandalism

You changed a referenced population figure of 64,303,000 to 60,303,000... that looks like vandalism to me unless you have a reference for the figure and no administrator has recognised that you are right as far as I can see?Teapotgeorge^Talk 18:41, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

I changed the number because It was wrong! It is IMPOSSIBLE that in France there are 64 million French on a total population of 65! I don't konw the exact the number but it is about 60 million, not 64! This isn't vandalism, if you look at my talk page, the first comment was from an administrator who apologized with me for the same problem! —Preceding unsigned comment added by FrankVonPedro (talk • contribs) 18:52, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

The reference states 64,303,000 where is your reference that says otherwise? Wikipedia relies on references.Teapotgeorge^Talk 18:55, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

HERE ONE: As of 2006, the French national institute of statistics INSEE estimated that 4.9 million foreign-born immigrants live in France (8% of the country's population)

If you don't konw in every country there are immigrants! Germany has got 7 million of immigrants, France not so much but at least 5 million NOW! More, even if France had 64 million French, totally impossible, the total number reach 105 million! not 130! that number is FALSE! Correct it, because now you threaten me without a logical reason! —Preceding unsigned comment added by FrankVonPedro (talk • contribs) 19:38, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Please provide reliable references for the population figures you want to change.Teapotgeorge^Talk 17:08, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Are you kidding me??? I just done! Anyway: The reliable source, that you want, is the same article! There is in the same article the right number! But at the end someone did an error........the right numbers (140 Italian people and 100 French people) there are already in the article, you only have to add all numbers IN THE SAME article.....I only corrected it, I don't have to cite any source because I am not doing a MODIFICATION but only A CORRECTION! (study math) And REMOVE THE WARNING!

Sorry but I don't want to be misunderstood: I don't want to threat anyone! First, You threatened me because of my corrections. Please believe me, I am not against you, but against false facts. I hope that there will not be another problem between us. Regards —Preceding unsigned comment added by FrankVonPedro (talk • contribs) 17:08, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Sorry for my late reply, I'm new to Wikipedia and am trying to put up a piece on Nude Skincare. On the 1st of October, you tagged the piece I put up to be be deleted.

Changed items and undid items from the article issues box

Greetings Teapotgeorge, I wanted to understand how the verbiage that was added to the Lead Section of the article that I created, was considered (POV)? I referenced the article on poet Ntozake Shange "A self-proclaimed black feminist", concerning the wording that I added ie: "A self-acknowledged student to creative activism" Also, my second question is, how do I rectify the items addressed in the 'Article Issues' box on the article page?

Hello Teapotgeorge, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I declined the speedy deletion of Brian Calfano - a page you tagged - because: PROF and host on station with an article is probably an assertion of notability enough for A7.

Psichogios Publications

I added reliable sources like TA NEA which is the largest Greek newspaper as well as some others. I also edited the profile because I was wrong...the company does not publish educational materials. I don't understand why you still put the "sources" tag on it again. Please let me know.

Thank you, (HarisHarossi (talk) 17:04, 30 December 2009 (UTC))

I didn't add the sources tag, I added the notability tag and as you have a clear conflict of interest it is probably best to let others decide to remove maintenance templates. Teapotgeorge^Talk 17:14, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your note. I am not affiliated with that company. I just love their books and there was no page for them. If I was affiliated I would have known that they don't publish educational books, or that they don't sell through bookclubs :) I am new to wikipedia and in the beginning the article did not have any sources, but now I updated it and it should be ok.
Thank you for your message!
(HarisHarossi (talk) 17:21, 30 December 2009 (UTC))

Issues you raised

Regarding the tag you put in the recently created Green Car Congress, I kindly request that you take another look, now that I just finished what I intended to be the lead for a stub. Regarding notability I included ten organizations that have GCC as an external resource, and here at Wikipedia GCC has been frequently used as a RS. The section mission and goals I took as declared by GCC, as I believe each organization defines its own and there is no third party source to define it otherwise, but I feel comfortable if you think this section must go (be deleted). Please let me know if there is something else that can be done to improve this stub, and by the way, I do not have any relationship with this organization, as a Wiki editor I have use it a lot as a reference for articles related to clean and alternative fuels and cars, and as a transportation professional, I know this is a reliable and very updated source of information in this field (that is whay so many websites have it as an external source).-Mariordo (talk) 22:31, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

International House of Prayer

What in your opinion can be removed and/or improved upon. Is there wording that can be changed? just trying to figure out what is being expected.Travisharger 22:47, 8 January 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Travisharger (talk • contribs)

The article has a general unencyclopedic promotional feel to it. The "Publications" section should go they are self published and therefore hardly notable. The "Similar Ministries" section fails verification or is unreferenced. "Popular Culture & Random" facts section is desperately unencyclopedic. The external links section is extensive and directory like Wikipedia is NOT a directory. The list of references appears random and not entirely relevant. Teapotgeorge^Talk 23:04, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

• I agree with most of the changes you made recently...I think it was a good job, but didn't fully understand the removal of the ministries of IHOP...I think that to be valuable information to a reader...I would personally be up for cutting it down..and condensing it...but believe think that the information is important and should remain in some form....Also I noticed some of the citations are messed up..i'll work on fixing those, i agree with the removal of some of them.....also you make reference to the site being promotional...but i would think that would mean removing information...many sites on wiki Examples: Simpsons, Bon Jovi, Dan Brown, Salvation Army, are filled with information but dont get flagged as promotional....is it because its a religious organization? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Travisharger (talk • contribs) 02:58, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

The article uses unencyclopedic language which has been improved by one editor but reverted again by you. You have been asked to stand back and let others improve the article. The intricate ministry details can all be found on the IHOP website and seem out of place in an encyclopedia.Teapotgeorge^Talk 10:04, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

I've stated that i'm ok with changing wording..and i haven't interfered with that, but the article doesn't have to be limited to a few sentences to be encyclopedic....many people are searching for information about this organization and it should be found in this article, if Hannah Montana gets intricate details, i don't see why this article cant have basic information made public. You mention they can be found on their site, but [User talk:SuaveArt] had removed much information that isn't on their site. Also think that much of the Criticism Section should be left for users to find. Especially information about Mike's Association with the Kansas City Prophets. Why are other articles allowed to be filled with information yet this one has to be cut down to a couple lines? If its citations, wording, organization, neutrality that needs to be fixed we can talk about fixing that...but I dont see any reason that the majority of the information cant stay in some form.Travisharger 14:51, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Please see [1] You are welcome to add more details BUT it needs to be referenced to reliable third party sources NOT the IHOP website...and not in endless list format. Cheers Teapotgeorge^Talk 15:03, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Deletion of Morley's Fried Chicken

Hi there, Just contesting your deletion of morley's fried chicken on grounds that is promotional - the article was meant as a Encyclopedic description of a company that has become something of a cultural phenomenon in South East London (see http://www.flickr.com/groups/morleys/ for what I mean.)

Adding hyperlinks

Dear teapotgeorge

I have just received a message from you warning against vandalising pages by adding hyperlinks. I would just like to explain that I am new to wikipedia with little understanding of any guidelines. I am the press officer for Eastside Educational Trust, a children's charity and youth arts provider in London that works to introduce young people to the arts and offers free workshops in schools and at our base in East London. While the workshops on offer do provide young people with amazing opportunities, people do not always know what Eastside does. We are lucky to have a number of celebrity patrons who are listed on our website. I was simply ensuring where we are mentioned on their wikipedia pages, we are linked to our name so anyone interested in the charities their favourite celebrity supports could learn what that charity does.JVilkhu (talk) 16:54, 14 January 2010 (UTC) I did not realise this was vandalism in anyway. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JVilkhu (talk • contribs) 16:51, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Dear Teapot,

You just elimminated for the second time all external links to the Taipei Biennial, the most important exhibition of the museum in question, as well as a link to a letter written by the local art community which asked for reform of the Taipei Biennial.

According to wikipedia "Official links (if any) are provided to give the reader the opportunity to see what the subject says about itself. These links are exempt from the links normally to be avoided"

To me it would appear essential that any claims would be backed up by verifiable sources, and that the reader should be able to see for himself what the subject(s) in question have to say; you just eliminated these. Could you kindly advise.

While reviewing their contributions I noted you had reverted them, claiming them to be a banned editor - are you referring to my indef block, or are you aware that they are a previously banned editor? Thanks LessHeard vanU (talk) 20:23, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Hello Teapotgeorge. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of The World's Healthiest Foods, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Not unambiguously promotional. Thank you. GedUK  16:33, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: George Mateljan

Hello Teapotgeorge. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of George Mateljan, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Writing a 'best selling' book is a credible assertion of notability, sufficient for A7, even if the book doesn't turn out to be notable enough. PROD or take to AfD (perhaps with the book). Thank you. GedUK  16:35, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Glass and user Ebe123

Hi Teapotgeorge, please have second look at the edits of Ebe123 to the glass article. I think if you assume good faith you see that the new user Ebe123 tried to add things which he thought are important. He lacks the experience to do it in proper way, but to call it vandalism is alittle bit harsh. Thanks! --Stone (talk) 18:27, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

AFD

Would you start the AFD process for Educational Demonstration and Promotional Demonstration? The creator just doesn't seem to get the idea that the articles are not up to standard. 67.180.84.239 (talk) 20:19, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

I am concerned that this is a quite subtle set of spam for the media corporation that supplies products with both these names. The creator of those articles seems to be wise to the ways if Wikipedia, understands the use of templates such as {{vandal}} though applies them imperfectly, and knows far too much about the way to conceal things to be anything other than a PR account. Sock or meat puppetry springs to mind, but the edit pattern gives no obvious clues. To me those two articles and the other edits made by this user lead me to suspect WP:COATRACK editing un a reasonably subtle form. The articles are clever because they purport to be real articles, but they appear to try to create notability for the terms instead of reporting the terms as notable and/or verifiable.

I am tempted to be bold and rip those (to me) spammy links out of the articles, or at least to flag them soehow as spam links, but I can't find the right template to do this. Any ideas? Fiddle Faddle (talk) 11:09, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

You have no "right" to a link for your own website! Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a forum for advertising or self-promotion. Any editor who gives priority to outside interests may be subject to a conflict of interest. Adding material that appears to promote the interests or visibility of your own business or personal interests, places you in a conflict of interest.

If other editors suggest that your editing violates Wikipedia's standards, take that advice seriously and consider stepping back, reassessing your edits, and discussing your intentions on the article talk page.Teapotgeorge^Talk 14:07, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

St. George's School, Harpenden

Hi George, a quick question regarding this revert. The user actually added a link in his summary, but even though it is a 403 forbidden i tend to believe him edit. An enrollment of 9002 is almost certainly vandalism (Old edits showed just 1300 students), and link such as this one: "Coeducational|Female" is of course nonsense. I would revert this myself, but before doing so: Is there any special reason for this revert? Perhaps a known long term vandal? Excirial ^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 22:01, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Luke Wilkins

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Luke Wilkins. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Luke Wilkins. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:04, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

: I can assure you I am not concentrating my efforts on you, as a glance at my edit history will show. I may be guilty of biting the newbies for which I apologize. However your edits have been problematic in that you have copied and pasted copyrighted content, removed maintenance templates without explanation, uploaded images with inappropriate license details and blanked sections of an article talk page, [you CAN remove content from your own talk page].Cheers Teapotgeorge^Talk 20:42, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Well I certainly don't think you've been particluraly supportive. You've been extremely bullish in your comments, discouraging and unhelpful. As stated, I am genuinely trying to improve the page without coi or motive, but you're simply not giving me a chance - with anything. The comments that are left on the article page are no longer relevant as I have now removed about 80% of the article - I would still like to remove them as they now make no sense. I'm not sure I'll continue with editing at all if this is the encouragement I get, which I'm sure is not the intention of the site's existence. Have you considered that you could help me write/edit this article instead of unconstructively criticising it?

Buckston (talk) 20:55, 21 April 2010 (UTC) I also agree with this amazing person. I think that you could be much more constructive in your deletions. Please reply to me, and don't just delete this message and run away. Thank you. Blakey19962 (talk) 12:41, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Grow up.Teapotgeorge^Talk 12:57, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

For what it's worth I think that Teapotgeorge has been very restrained in his handling of this. For example, on the issue of removing maintenance tags, he starts with a template saying "It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates..." Since Buckston had made an edit which did nothing except for removing a maintenance template this was really bending over backwards to be nice about it, giving the benefit of the doubt where some people might have thought there was no doubt. When Buckstone does exactly the same again does Teapotgeorge come down much more firmly, with accusations of vandalism? No, but instead we see a polite request not to remove such templates without resolving the issues. Similar remrks apply to Teapotgeorge's other contributions. If Buckstone thinks this is "extremely bullish" then I find it surprising. JamesBWatson (talk) 13:50, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Promotional edit

Hi there. Just wondered why you had removed the link to flood codes information.

However, I can remove the links if it's causing too many problems. :-) Although it's still a work in progress, I was also asking for any other ways I can improve the article, if you have ideas?

Sorry I know nothing about assessing articles. The article as it stands draws VERY heavily on one primary source namely the SEPA website and as such looks a bit too promotional/advert in content and as a SPA editor you might appear to have a conflict of interest.Teapotgeorge^Talk 12:45, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

No problem about the stubs, thanks anyway. I've noted your comments about primary sources - I'll see what I can do about sourcing from elsewhere, although I had hoped that the references from newspapers, Scottish Government etc might have been diverse enough - perhaps just not enough of them though.

Hi there, Oh dear, looks like we are at odds again, but I'm really trying to do things properly and appreciate you help. I've posted some reasoning behind the disambiguation page and you can see what I'm trying to achieve there. There is definately a distinction to be made there but I've perhaps not chosen the right way to classify it. Let me know how I could go about achieving the same but maybe using a different method.

Deciding to disambiguate

Disambiguation is required whenever, for a given word or phrase on which a reader might use the "Go button", there is more than one existing Wikipedia article to which that word or phrase might be expected to lead. In this situation there must be a way for the reader to navigate quickly from the page that appears on hitting "Go" to any of the other possible desired articles. Buckston (talk) 19:24, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Here is a disambiguation page...

Hi there, Thanks for asking about the disambiguation page. I think I understand now. Quite difficult to get to grips with this but I'm persevering! Ok, i'll look up how to create a stub next I guess?

Ref Deep Cut press releease

I'll acknowledge that the link provided is to a print publication, but searching around for supporting evidence is flushing out exactly the same wording from a great many sources, some attributed to Sherman Cymru, some not. That looks like a press release to me. The only other evidence that Revolution have the rights to the film is an eight month old reference to a director working with them on it.

Despite searching for any evidence of casting or resourcing of a film I'm not finding anything more recent than that.

I would prefer to caveat the point about Revolution having an option on the play given the limited evidence available.

Is this irony

...or am I just up too late? HalfShadow 07:35, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Sorry I don't understand the question... I guess I'm up too early. Teapotgeorge^Talk 07:39, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Well, you're teapotgeorge and you reverted vandalism to teapot and warned the guy... HalfShadow 07:41, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:13, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Thank you.Teapotgeorge^Talk 18:15, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome

Thanks for the advice. I totally forgot to add a reason why I deleted that section of the article. Thank you for reminding me.

Next time I will be more careful. --Suplemental (talk) 21:57, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Wellingborough

The Wellingborough article that you have contributed to is now very near closure of its GA review. If there are any last minute improvements you can make to address the reviewer's comments at Talk:Wellingborough/GA1, please feel free to be bold and make your contribs. Thanks. --Kudpung (talk) 04:22, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion, GlocalProject, vandalism

Hi! I've noticed you reverted this revision and identified it as vandalism. As far i know, non-creators of an article are allowed to remove speedy deletion templates, according to WP:CSD. Am i correct? Thank you! — Zhernovoi (talk) 09:45, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

They should provide an explanation in the edit summary though. Teapotgeorge^Talk 10:04, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

I looked up in WP:CSD and Template:Db-g11 and was unable to find a proof for it. I don't even know if it should be identified as vandalism, there is no reference to it in WP:VANDTYPES. Could you help me to understand this? Thanks! — Zhernovoi (talk)

David Leach speedy deletion nomination

Some officious know-nothing has nominated this page for speedy deletion on the grounds of the subject's non-notability. I am preparing for a number of shows over the next few weeks and won't be able to give it much attention. If you could add some references attesting Leach's importance I'd appreciate it. Marshall46 (talk) 18:07, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Whoops! I reacted too quickly to the message left on my talk page. I'll strengthen the article later if no-one else is able to to do. Marshall46 (talk) 18:10, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Will do ; ) Teapotgeorge^Talk 18:28, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for quick response. Brilliant! Marshall46 (talk) 19:58, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

User talk:Kanos Music

I see you tagged User talk:Kanos Music for speedy deletion as spam, and I discovered it was also a copyright infringement. However, we do not delete user talk pages except under exceptional circumstances, such as serious defamation. I have removed the offending material from the page and left a note explaining why to the user. It would be possible to expunge the relevant edits from the page history, but it is unlikely to be necessary. If the user repeatedly reverts then I will be willing to think again, but failing that simple removal should be enough. JamesBWatson (talk) 20:43, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

User:Benjamw

You recently reverted some linking by User:Benjamw. It came to my attention that he may be working for a WP:GLAM relevant institution. If you encounter similar situations in the future, including improper linking, etc. please refer the user to WP:GLAM as you will have read in the Signpost, recent collaboration with large cultural institutions is creating a new route for access to subject area experts and article improvement, see WP:GLAM/BM and WP:GLAM/SI. Thanks, Sadads (talk) 13:01, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up though I deleted the links because they were poor quality not because of any coi. cheersTeapotgeorge^Talk 13:06, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

User:LCOC1962

It's not quite shameless enough to block speedily. Keep an eye on it, but don't put the name up at UAA again, please. --Orange Mike | Talk 20:33, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Not sure what you mean by keeping an eye on it? They have recreated the article The Lincoln Club of Orange County three times now not sure how much more promotional it could be?Teapotgeorge^Talk 20:36, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

tfchen

Im new to wikipedia and I'm really just trying to understand how everything really works, as you can see I've beenconstantly editing to get rid of some of the more self-promoting information on the page, but with every edit it still is not enough, would you mind giving me some advice or pointers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tfchen (talk • contribs) 15:10, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

CoverItLive

Thanks for the rapid resolution of the Speedy. First time in seven years I've ever started an article that was flagged for deletion - need to make my stubs clearer on the notability front, clearly! :-) Paul W (talk) 12:29, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Chemical Watch

Hello. I've reverted the speedy you added to Chemical Watch, as it now appears to assert notability. Notability isn't yet clear per WP:WEB though, so this might need to prodded in a week or so. Thanks, Empty Buffer (talk) 11:41, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

That's fine by me. Teapotgeorge^Talk 11:49, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Although one of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view, we would like to remind you not to undo other people's edits, as you did to the page Jewellery, without explaining why in an edit summary. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, you may not know that Wikipedia has a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia, as you did in Jewellery, makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.
