Greetings James, and thanks for adding the article on Martha Strongin Katz. You did a great job of wikifying the text, but it is still very close to the source, to the extent that it might be a copyright violation. In future, you might want to be mindful that many great articles get deleted on this ground under the criteria for speedy deletion. Just a heads-up, Skomorokh 22:09, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Linking to your own blog

[edit]

Hello. I add my welcome to other contributors' above. I am always pleased to see anyone editing the classical music sections.

I thought I'd perhaps better let you know why I removed the link to your blog, which you added to two composer articles. My feeling is that the citation, while an interesting personal reflection, does not really increase the verifiability of either article, because it is not an authoritative source about either composer. You may also like to know that citing yourself is specifically listed as a bad idea in the conflict of interest guidelines. I hope you will continue to contribute to Wikipedia. Very best wishes, RobertGtalk 10:16, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Same as above. For Starbucks, McDonalds. Bob98133 (talk) 17:40, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Cleveland consulting associates, 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:

  1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
  2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
  3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam); and,
  4. avoid breaching 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 businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. Accurizer (talk) 12:35, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Cleveland consulting associates

[edit]

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Cleveland consulting associates, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
