- What are you talking about? I have not attacked anybody on Wikipedia. What are you referring to? Are you attacking me personally for attempting to make poets aware of threats to their creative ability, their independence and peace of mind? Is that what you mean by 'threaten'? Is that what you mean by 'attack'? Is that what you are accusing me of? If so please provide examples. You interfering with my right to express an opinion. I did not threaten, attack or defame anyone. You, instead, have libeled me. Please explain and provide me your reasons and qualifications to take subject me to unjust accusations.
- I expect the comments made to be published unless reasons for not doing so are provided immediately. You have no right to censor my comments in any way, shape or form. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Welcomeazt (talk • contribs) 10:39, 10 February 2014
- Wikipedia is a project to build an encyclopedia, not a discussion forum. It is not for what you want to do. Your article was an attack on the Creative Poetry site. Your edit summary said: "This is my personal opinion... " but this is not a place for people to post their personal opinions. See:
- Wikipedia is not a soapbox
- Wikipedia:Verifiability: "any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source"
- Wikipedia:Neutral point of view

- I have reverted your edit to Wikipedia:Revision deletion; that is not the right place. If you want to appeal against deletion of your page, you should first contac the deleting administrator, user Kusma (talk); then, if you are not satisfied, go to WP:Deletion review. To avoid wasting time, you should first read the policies I have linked above, to understand what Wikipedia is and what it is not for. JohnCD (talk) 12:33, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
You are mistaken. Read the essay again. It was written in the public interest. It related to the site: Poetry Free-for-all, not Creative Poetry, which is not a poetry site, but the title of my essay. The facts are as stated. If you don't want personal opinions close Wikipedia. Any essay your receive is composed by a person - not a machine. I wrote it. Why shouldn't I admit it. I am not wasting time. I am trying to be informative. Isn't that what you want? I do not accept your personal opinion. It is not only wrong, but counterproductive. I therefore contest your decision, and request another opinion - and will keep doing so until I receive justice.
- We don't want your personal opinions, because that is not what an encyclopedia is for, see Wikipedia is not a soapbox #2 Opinion pieces. If you want another opinion the first thing to do, as I said above, is to approach the administrator who deleted your page, user Kusma (talk). Click on "talk" after his name, and then on "New section" at the top of that page, enter a heading and your message. If you end your message with a group of four "tilde" signs
~~~~
, that will "sign" it so that Kusma knows who it is from. If Kusma does not agree, you can go to WP:Deletion review. JohnCD (talk) 18:05, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
Hi there! I am Kusma, the administrator who deleted your submission Creative Poetry, which was not an encyclopedia article about creative poetry, but a personal essay apparently about a web site "Poetry Free-for-all". Your submission (a) was written as an opinion piece (as JohnCD explains above, that is not what Wikipedia is for) and also (b) did not explain why that website is notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia (which is [[WP:NOT|not an indiscriminate collection of information). So I deleted your essay as it met our deletion criteria WP:CSD#G10 and WP:CSD#A7. You are welcome to write an article about that website (assuming there are reliable secondary sources about it), but it has to be written from a neutral point of view. Hope that explanation helps, —Kusma (t·c) 19:27, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
Hi Kusma, Thanks for your explanation. The title 'creative poetry' related to free poetry posting sites, where writers post their poems, and receive and post their own comments - which are expected to be positive and polite. Poetry Free-for-all, on the other hand, is not positive and polite. It is (and intends to be) cruel and impolite. This is factual information which I state again, should be published in the public interest. My comments about Poetry Free-for-all are not just my opinion, they are the openly declared policy of Poetry Free-for-all. The secondary source is "Poetry Free-for-all", which glories in its 'cruel' behavior.
- Poetry Free-for-all is a primary source for anything related to Poetry Free-for-all. Anyway, I think you should start reading a bit about Wikipedia before you write an article. Maybe start at WP:NOT and WP:YFA (or, for the TLDR version, WP:YFAS). Hope that helps, —Kusma (t·c) 13:57, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
