In particular I should like to call your attention to the Wikipedia policy on notability. Essentially this says that an article is acceptable for Wikipedia only if the subject of the article has received sufficient attention that there is a significant amount of coverage in independent sources. Wikipedia does not accept articles designed to call attention to subjects which have not yet received attention. JamesBWatson (talk) 12:38, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Robin Hood Tax

Hi, just wanted to apologise in case youre still watching the Robin Hood Tax article you created and feel Ive gone overboard in compromising with the objectors. Your original article was very well written and informative, but it didnt meet all our guidelines, mainly as it was sourced largely to the robin hood site itself rather than secondary sources like independent news papers. The campaign has lost much of its high level support for now, and it looks like opinion among decision makers has generally swung in a deflationary direction. But this cannot possibly last for more than 3 – 4 years considering the massive levels of public debt and the increasing ineffectiveness of anti progressive propaganda. When events swing back in a pleasing direction they'll move with some force. Keep the faith! FeydHuxtable (talk) 16:38, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
