Cindamuse - Thanks for the kind message. I've actually edited Wikipedia before using my personal account and participated in a "How to Edit Wikipedia" BOF session at the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing, but for transparency and to make it easier to flag the potential conflict of interest, used my work email to make a new account. So, errors I may have introduced, but they were not from lack of experience. I know there are different opinions on how potential conflict of interest should be managed in the community, and I'm obviously of the opinion that an article's content must be neutral, not necessarily its editors. Given that the reverted version includes several substantive errors now ( Polaris Project has 6 national programs, not 3; TTASP has not been the acronym for Polaris Project's training program since 2009; the History section indicates Polaris Project does work in Japan, which it no longer does) and, until yesterday, there had been no edits since 02/12, I would prefer to correct the page. If anything I post is unneutral, I want and expect it to be criticized, edited or removed, and I will happily engage in those discussions. If there's something major I'm missing, please let me know on my talk page or respond here. Jdickinsongoodman ( talk) 14:30, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
Cindamuse - I am concerned with the issues related to this article; the content removal is subjective and not founded. Simply referring to policy violations abstractly does not justify the removal of the content. You need to be specific with your determinations and explanation. The copyright issues have been resolved; do you feel otherwise? Moving on, specifically, can you comment on the content you determined may have been inappropriate due to a conflict of interest. At this point, I cannot find any objective reason for the removal of this content without specific understanding of your judgement. Please elaborate on your thoughts.

Thanks for your helpful advice Cindamuse. Despite having a good look around for guidance on how to create a temp page I ended up erroneously as it turns out following the methodology for redrafting WP policy and guidance pages. Seems with the ever-increasing expansion of guidance on how to use WP it gets harder and harder, as one gets more and more experienced on using WP to find the precise nugget of info one is after. There must be a Law of WP increasing complexity and deminishing understanding coming into play here. Tmol42 ( talk) 21:57, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

Hello Cindamuse, there is a full explanation on the Mail art talk page of why the reference to 'marketing Hairmail and Astroturf' was removed; marketing stuff has nothing to do with Mail Art, and the reference that was entered was a dead link too. I may be a bit dim, but how do you add a description of changes when making an edit? Keithbates51 ( talk) 14:28, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
Well, thank you for your kind comment anyway and I hope the cheferie is going well. Is it possible to refer this page to an Art specialist because Mail Art is not about money, and the line stating that 'Hairmail and Astroturf postcards were marketed in the late 1990s' not only incongruously mentions two specific and little (if ever) used collage materials within a paragraph about the general mixing of media, but it also suggests that these postcards were sold - something that is very much against the ethos of Mail Art. You're right the link [9] isn't actually dead, but again it's commercial in nature – it leads to a Washington Post link that invites you to pay to read an article.

Hi Cindy. Per common name, can you please have the title of List of most watched YouTube videos changed to List of most viewed YouTube videos?

Was this a mistake? Because, otherwise, it was so inappropriate that I don't even know where to begin. Silver seren C 10:48, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi Cindy, As you know I have edited a page regarding my father a couple of times now. I'm not writing anything biased, simply facts. I'm not trying to be difficult, but rather than just telling me that it needs to comply with the Manual of Style, please can you tell me what actually needs to be corrected? Also, I'm not clear on why you removed the citations I added which prove the facts from what is surely a reputable website, namely Business Week.

Thanks for uploading
File:The7stars.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a
claim of fair use. However, it is currently
orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed.
You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see
our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot ( talk) 04:23, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

I see-- in that case I think it would be worth using a Negro pencil drawing of my own. Here is a link to one blog post illustration: http://lowellisaac.blogspot.com/2012/12/moonchild-example-of-negro-pencil.html This is my standard website, I'm not sure how much information about me would be needed for this: www.lowellisaac.com Lowellisaac ( talk) 19:25, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

Was this a mistake? Because, otherwise, it was so inappropriate that I don't even know where to begin. Silver seren C 10:48, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi Cindy, As you know I have edited a page regarding my father a couple of times now. I'm not writing anything biased, simply facts. I'm not trying to be difficult, but rather than just telling me that it needs to comply with the Manual of Style, please can you tell me what actually needs to be corrected? Also, I'm not clear on why you removed the citations I added which prove the facts from what is surely a reputable website, namely Business Week. Thanks, Adtyler ( talk) 14:08, 9 December 2012 (UTC)Andy Adtyler ( talk) 14:08, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

That AfD is in regards to the Joakim Mogren article as you can see here. It links directly to it, not the Phantom Pain article. -- Anddo ( talk) 23:42, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading
File:The7stars.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a
claim of fair use. However, it is currently
orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed.
You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see
our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot ( talk) 04:23, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
Hello, thank you very much on your comment regarding my inconsistency with some guidelines using Page Curation. I appreciate it very much as I still needs to learn from expert editors like you. All your points are noted and I take it as a lesson to rather enhance myself in wikipedia. Thank you and Best Regards. -- Wakowako ( talk) 11:17, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot’s recommendations. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information in the consent information sheet.
We have added information about the quality of the suggested articles using a Low/Medium/High scale which goes from Low
to High
.
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please let us know on SuggestBot's talk page. Regards from Nettrom ( talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot ( talk) 13:25, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
