Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Goldscheider, Alexander. Please use the {{hangon}} template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion, and make your case on the page's talk page. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 13:09, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
Please read the standards of Wiki Articles.
[edit]Your page will be deleted, you are not allowed by wikipedia policy to write about yourself. If you are notable enough for inclusion someone will have to write the article for you and demonstrate reliably why you are notable. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 14:06, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, as you did at Goldscheider, Alexander. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.
Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability.
If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:05, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Alexander Goldscheider, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
- editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
- participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
- linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. ukexpat (talk) 21:03, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

When I first saw the article, I just saw another autobiography, which unfortunately we get a lot of that for the most part are just vanity articles, and not very notable at all. One of the main tenets of Wikipedia is that it should be written from a neutral point of view which is pretty much impossible to do when you are writing about yourself. I also saw that you had already written a similar article that was speedily deleted a few months ago, so I initially assumed this was just a second attempt. However, I decided to start a deletion discussion instead of just tagging it again for speedy deletion since it did seem more notable than what I saw at first glance.
Besides the COI issues, another reason I nominated it for deletion is that the articles don't explain clearly why they are notable. Everything just sounded banal and obscure. The rationale you gave at the deletion discussion of why the articles are important are things that should be explained in the article itself. Another thing I noticed is that many of the references (at least the English ones, since I can't read Czech) were to sites like last.fm, discogs, and musicbrainz, which aren't considered reliable sources (mostly because they are also user-submitted).
So what I would recommend for you is to gather reliable and verifiable sources written about yourself, your company, your record label, and your albums, and post them at the deletion discussion and on the talk pages for yourself and Terezin: The Music. You can read Wikipedia:Verifiability for information on good sources for the article. At this point you shouldn't be actively involved in the actual editing of the articles, due to COI issues, and have other editors work on it directly. The best way for you to be involved would be to provide sources and other information on the talk pages. This way you can make sure the information is correct while at the same time being uninvolved enough to make sure that the articles can remain NPOV.
If other editors still decide that the subject isn't notable enough yet for Wikipedia, we can have it moved to userspace if we need to, instead of it being deleted. Sorry this is such a difficult process. It's done that way to prevent any bum off the street from posting their life's story as an encyclopedia article. I'm watching this page, so let me know if you have any other questions. —Akrabbimtalk 04:31, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 31
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Wriggler (video game), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Crash (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
