Article Sourcing
[edit]Hi, Jamie, and welcome to Wikipedia! Please review the following articles to see our policies on what constitutes acceptable sources of information on Wikipedia: Reliable Sources policy, No Original Research policy, Verifiability policy. Unfortunately, blogs are not acceptable sources of information to support your claims about the author's life, and any experiences you have with him are considered original research. The presence of e-mails on your web server is insufficient data to support this article. Grand High Poobah of Western Bastardia (talk) 19:46, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
Admission from a meatpuppet
[edit]The following was posted on my talk page:
- Hi. I received your message, and would like to tell you that I did in fact create this account to post that article, as I was instructed to by my boss Paul Roaded. We don't do any advertising or publicity on line, as Paul is old fashioned. He tried to create the page, and was unsuccessful, therefore I helped him. We never meant to offend anyone. We are a tiny press, and are currently looking to create a website. So feel free to delete that page, it is not worth the trouble for us. Best, JC
It's irrelevant to me. I have no power other than to cast my ballot for deletion. For future reference, Wikipedia is not the place to do your advertising. Please take a look at WP:NOT to see what Wikipedia is not. In the future, don't use meatpuppets to support an article. If Paul thinks it's worth keeping, let Paul say so. Creating an account with the sole intention of supporting another account's contributions can get you blocked or banned from Wikipedia.

Sorry
[edit]Hey, I didn't mean to scare you off or anything. An editor gets rather jaded after awhile, seeing articles that don't meet our standards supported by what is obviously the same person, or someone in cahoots. I apologize for assuming bad faith, and I made sure to review our policy on biting new editors. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia! We just prefer that they fit more or less into our standards of excellence. Again, sorry for the whole drinking the blood of n00bs thing.
