Hi. This is not a very helpful link. Please take a look at this guideline. The problem with it is (a) it can be construed as being used for advertising and (b) since it's a drama, it relies on the writer's interpretation of events, and thus not very encyclopedic in purpose. You are welcome to seek a third opinion, but my experience here tells me that these links are not usually kept. --Rodhullandemu 14:46, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

An article that you have been involved in editing, Herrenvolk, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Herrenvolk. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? --Latebird (talk) 06:37, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi Green Squares! I undid your changes to the article Earnings quality because the subject is clearly not a Financial ratio. A financial ratios is a "ratio of selected values on an enterprise's financial statements", but earnings quality has a much broader definition than that. Feel free to discuss more at the article's discussion page if you wish. Cheers! :)-Samuel Tan 00:47, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi there, please see Talk:Earnings quality about the reasons why I reverted some of your edits. Cheers, Samuel Tan 11:12, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the barnstar. I really was not aiming for it when I wrote the article. Nice surprise. Dark hyena (talk) 16:12, 18 July 2008 (UTC)reply

FYI - it doesn't matter where the servers are, it was illegal to show those videos in the United States. Like child pornogrpahy, it doesn't matter where the pornogrpahy originated, it is illegal to view or possess it in the US. However, last week, the Supreme Court overturned that law about animal fighting claiming that everyone has a first amendment right to see the videos. Nonetheless, they are still not appropriate as an external link on Wiki. Bob98133 (talk) 13:34, 20 July 2008 (UTC)reply

Hi. I tagged this article as promotional in nature and recommended its immediate deletion. Lines like this troubled me:

• "There is a reason for everything, and we always try to explain what that reason is."
• "We hope as well that it will be useful to courts, especially when they have to deal with fundamental issues, and we have been delighted that it has been cited in a number of decisions of the Supreme Court of Canada."
• "We have tried to avoid the complex abstractions with which the Income Tax Act is replete. Our language is as simple, concrete and non-technical as our capability and the nature of the subject permitted."

It seems you're either associated with the book yourself -- a clear conflict of interest -- or else you've copied this from somewhere -- a copyright violation. --A. B. ^{(talk • contribs)} 22:01, 20 July 2008 (UTC)reply

The page has been deleted. If you'd like to work on articles locally, you may wish to place them in your user sandbox User:Green Squares/Sandbox to work on it there, but at the moment the page seems to be completely promotional in nature and fails to establish notability regarding the book in question. Please see Wikipedia:Notability (books) for specific guidelines regarding books. In addition, by being the author as you've claimed on the page, you have an inherent conflict of interest regarding the status of the article, which would make it extremely difficult to abide by our neutral point of view policy (which is a requirement of all editors).

If you'd like to have the article text sent to you, let me know. Kylu (talk) 00:09, 21 July 2008 (UTC)reply

I posted Hangon and you Speedy deleted anyway, a clear violation of the rules. Please post the Appeal link on my talk page, so we can have the article placed back and you can post an +afd and you can try to build a consensus. Remember, book burning was done by Nazi's, it is against the principles of Wikipedia to delete a valid article without first building a consensus. 01:34, 21 July 2008 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Green Squares (talk • contribs)

Reverted your removal just now. Check out the actual text of {{hangon}} by the way:

The speedy deletion of this page is contested. The person placing this notice intends to dispute the speedy deletion of this article on this page's talk page, and requests that this page not be deleted in the meantime. Note that this request is not binding, and the page may still be deleted if the page unquestionably meets the speedy deletion criteria, or if the promised explanation is not provided very soon. This template should not be removed from a page still marked with a speedy deletion template.

See the "this request is not binding" bit? Yep.

You haven't yet mentioned why you think the book is notable enough for Wikipedia inclusion (does it meet the book notability requirements? Not from what I've seen...) nor why you don't possess a conflict of interest in posting information on a book you claim to have written. As it was written at the time of deletion, it was a pure ad for the book written in Author POV.

If you disagree with the opinions of myself and the tagging user, please feel free to request community input at deletion review. I'll copy this to your talkpage as well.

Oh, and, really, don't compare people to Nazis simply because you can't have your ad on the encyclopedia. Bad form. Kylu (talk) 01:45, 21 July 2008 (UTC)reply

• Your Deletion Review case was closed. You may wish to review the discussion (click "show" on that page) to help improve future editing efforts. Thanks. Kylu (talk) 21:46, 22 July 2008 (UTC)reply

A tag has been placed on Ottawa Humane Society, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. ShootinPutin109 01:20, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm attempting to provide accurate information in the entry and remove irrelevant links and accurate information on the OHS, which is not currently available in your article. TaraJottawahumane (talk) 20:45, 8 August 2008 (UTC)reply

{{adminhelp}}

Hello, would you please advise where the policy is on an employee of an organization editing the article related to that organization? I assume it is not allowed at Wikipedia as it would not be NPOV. TaraJottawahumane above is an employee of the Ottawa Humane Society and is editing the said article. Thank you. Green Squares (talk) 16:38, 9 August 2008 (UTC)reply

Hi Green Squares, regarding your question, possibly WP:COI.--PhilKnight (talk) 17:02, 9 August 2008 (UTC)reply
