I'm quite happy to see it go, but how come there isn't an AfD - is dictionary definition a speedy delete criteria? --Mcginnly | Natter 14:47, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You'd probably get more coverage at WP:WPARCH. --Mcginnly | Natter 15:06, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

hi siobhan please take my entry down.. i was simply trying to get a link from wikipedia to my website to get some traffic because these images get little exposure (search engines search text not image). i'm an emerging artist and i thought there was no crime in putting an entry like this up. i now know that wikipedia doesn't work that way. sorry for the trouble, richard —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Richardmosse (talk • contribs) .

Hi siobhan, Why did you remove the "auto recycling" link from the Car Donation page. It was a great, very relevant article about "Where Old Cars go" with information you can not find anyplace in Wikipedia?--mp 16:40, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I understand you are concerned about the source of the article. The figures have been taken from a magazine published by Geico Car Insurance (Please click on the external link and see the left side). Unfortunately, Geico did not post the information on their web site, www.geico.com

When people call our charity to donate their car, they very often ask: What will you do with my old car? Or they will say: My car is not running. Can it still beneficial to your charity?

I could rename the external link to: "What charities do with cars that are not running" if that will help. I honestly believe that people who will read the car donation article in WIkipedia will find this link very informative and relevant.

I could ask the web designer to take out any information in the page you feel is soliciting too strongly for car donations.

Thank you so much for your time and effort.--mp 17:49, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

hi siobhan, thanks for referring this to art specific editors. my biggest concern was having to try and justify myself in terms of importance (by modifying the entry to contend with an editor's assertion of my work as "exceedingly minor") when that wasn't at all my intention in making the entry in the first place. i am an emerging artist and make no bones about my career being exceedingly minor at this stage. i was a little disappointed that the wikipedia process forced me down the path of commodifying myself. but that's essentially the problem of making a wiki entry on yourself, and i shouldn't have even tried. but live and learn. i would rather the entry comes down until someone else puts one up there, if ever. and i'll scour the web for other ways to link to my website. in the meantime, i'd be delighted to make a few wiki posts on the art scene that i am in touch with. can you point me to a set of wikipedia's ground rules on expanding the vaults? thanks, Richardmosse 18:11, 1 November 2006 (UTC)richardmosse[reply]

Hello,

I have edited my search engine so that it would better fit the needs of the wikipedia community: by clicking the "about this website and how to contribute"-link, people can find out who has made it and which websites it searches. I hope you don't mind me putting the links back without prior discussion - I really think the website is a valuable device - it instantly provides a libertarian perspective on just about any subject one can imagine. (about the 'Liberty Search'-link on the articles 'liberty', 'libertarianism', and 'classical liberalism'.)

Hello, I just received a message from you that you removed those two links I added to Asset Protection. Both links are to websites that are extremely helpful, written by experts in the field, and are non-commercial. I am a new user of Wikipedia, but have been browsing for years, and I believe those links are consistent with my many positive experiences on the site.

Hi Siobhan,

I am not sure if I am writing this in the "correct" place. I am just learning the Wiki interface here and, believe me, it is not entirely intuitive.

I appreciate your taking the time to help me edit the pages pertaining to social entrepreneurship and Bill Drayton. Bill was extremely disappointed in what information was out there before and I am doing my best to better explain. I expect that I will be continuing to try to rewrite these pages to more accurately reflect who we (Bill, Ashoka, and the leading social entrepreneurs) are and what we mean by these concepts.

I am not sure exactly what changes you made or did not make -- so it is difficult to indicate whether I agree or disagree. I will do my best to comply with your Manual of Style.

Thanks again!

I lurk on this one - and wonder whether the 'famous' owners needs a perusal - there are some dubious looking entries there - just thought I'd ask anyone doing anything on it for a check? SatuSuro 23:39, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The links I added explained more about the cleanroom industry and how cleanrooms are used. We provide general cleanroom information as well as sell the products. Cleanroom products are bought based on specifications rather than advertising. Advertising is a bit pointless in this business. The Wikipedia cleanroom and static control articles are a bit sparce so I was trying to expand on them. There is no really site that isnt commerical that gives detailed useful information on cleanrooms and static control except maybe the societys, but they are funded by industry so... *shrug* 83.141.103.162

Most where articles talking about a particular topic? Where they moved to a convertsation topic? Those topics where no currently covered. Wikipedia gives no really indication about how each product is designed for this sort of environment. Nor a really understanding of the materials. The items links makes sense to be deleted though due to the guidelines, but I would repeat no one in this industry would buy one of these products from reading about it on wikipedia. Thousands of euros could be lost. Wouldnt happen.83.141.103.162

Its B2B purchase. Not B2C.

No one in this industry would buy one of these products from reading about it on wikipedia. Thousands of euros could be lost. :::Wouldnt happen.

Purchases are made by evaluated material specification and shippment costs.

Please then go through appropiates sites yourself and add extra content to explain how cleanrooms environments are ran, built and how static control is used in the real world ex in painting, printing, manufacturing.

Otherwise other sites will have a much better explaination than wikipedia.

Thanks for the heads up. I've protected the pages against recreation and indef blocked the latest account as an abusive sockpuppet. Best, Gwernol 16:33, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What is a sockpuppet? Thanks, Jeter
