Granted I am a member but that by itself according to the policy is nor reason for coi. Under the Coi page it does say that it is strongly discouraged due to unintentional biases and self promotion. And while this makes perfect sense to me I think that it is possible that none of you read a word of that article. The article contains no opinion and is simply a historical recount of 200 year history of the lodge. If the inclusion of an external link is reason enough for a deletion that would be easy to fix. Thank you again for your help on this... [[User:Middlesexlodge|Middlesexlodge]] ([[User talk:Middlesexlodge|talk]]) 05:04, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion

I notice that you tagged the page Image:Davids.jpg for speedy deletion with the reason "a file other than an image, audio, or video file, which is not used in any articles and has no encyclopedic use". While that's a valid reason for speedy deletion in general, this page does not qualify for speedy deletion under that criterion because it is an image file; this criterion only applies to files like PDFs. If you still want the page to be deleted, please consider tagging it with a speedy deletion template which does apply, redirecting it to another page, or using the WP:IFD process. Thanks!

That was an oops. I'll take it to Ifd. Thanks. Altairisfartalk 13:34, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

3204 boys gang

I was wondering why you chose to deleted the article on the 3204 boys gang? I was wondering if u could give any tips to fix it up? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kuwa1t21 (talkcontribs) 22:39, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I did not delete it, I tagged it and then an administrator checked it and decided it not fit the notabilty criteria and deleted it. You should take a look at Wikipedia's notability guideline for people. I hope that helps. Altairisfartalk 23:01, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Deletion Middlesex Lodge

Not sure why you would have deleted the Middlesex Lodge website. It was not using copywritten information with out permission, I felt that it was an unbiased factual history of the lodge and it was not there as an advertisement. I truly believe that this lodge is an important lodge in the history of Massachussetts lodges as it was one of the first chartered lodges in Mass by then grand master Paul Revere. Since this is my first attempt to submit an article and I can't see that I had done anything wrong could you explain your actions to me?

Take the time to read the Wikipedia policies that have been presented to you already on your talk page, such as Wikipedia:Copyright violations and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. Altairisfartalk 03:54, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I had published this article about Middlesex lodge feeling that it is 1. interesting and 2. of historical significance. I have had no less than three moderators tell me that the article was a conflict of interest, copyright infringement and/or blatant advertising. I have read and re-read the policies and I honestly can't see how any of these apply. This is my first article on wikipedia and I really just want to be able to make a useful contribution.

P.S. sorry about the multiple posts, my computer was acting up a bit there.
