I'm sorry to bother you Stephen. My connection to Brett J. Salisbury is simply that my cousin played football with Brett. I met him in 1991 at a Univerisity of Oregon football game where Brett was the starting quarterback against the USC Trojans at autzen stadium. Since that time I have not been in touch with Brett. I did look him up recently and found that he wrote the book the transform diet. My wife and I did the diet and it worked. Now, I did what I felt was a honorable thing and wrote a page the best I could with wikipedia. I don't understand why this was taken off wikipedia and deleted. Can you please help me and get this back up. Nothing was copyrighted. I simply went and did my due dilligence and put all the sources for Brett. Can you please write this to enable it back up. I think Brett deserves it as what he has done from writing a best seller to playing major college football and being a top model.

Not to be confused with User:Stephen.

Here because I deleted your article? Read through this first to find out why.

Tongal

Hi Stephen!

I was hoping to get some feedback for my article User:Fightonfortroy/Tongal. You've offered some good advice about how to make sure this doesn't sound like an advertisement and eliminating the bold lettering of the name. Whenever you get a chance, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback Stephen! I really appreciate your constructive criticism. I will look into these issues with the article and address them. Thanks again.

Always glad to be of service. Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help. Stephen! Coming... 20:56, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

why was my article deleted?

i was wondering why my article was deleted but searching record labels i have found atleast 1,000 entries —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mannameddave (talk • contribs) 08:34, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The reason it was deleted was because there was nothing in there to indicate notability. Have a read of WP:CORP for guidelines on what is looked for with notability. Number of hits from a search engine is not an indication of notability. Stephen! Coming... 10:17, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

James Bryan, Potosi

StephenBuxton:

Thank you for your zealous pursuit of vandals, however, I am not a vandal; I am an American Historian, and working hard to expand the information of Wikipedia on early Texas History and the migration from the Northeast, from the midsouth, and from places like Potosi, Missouri to Texas.

I can only assume you are not a Texas historian-- because if you were, you would have heard of James Bryan, the husband of Emily Margaret Austin Perry and brother in law of Stephen F. Austin.

Or perhaps you have not visited "Bryan's Mines" on Hazel Run, north of Big River, in SW 1/4 of Sec. 33, T. 37N. 5E., also known as "Hazel Run Lead Digging".

Please repost the article " James Bryan, Potosi" and let me get on with the important work at hand.

Or explain to me why The University of Texas Briscoe Center for American History should throw out their records recorded under the name "Bryan, James" which can be found at http://www.cah.utexas.edu/services/finding_items/archives_index.php?manuindex=b

Or the reference to as a mining entrepreneur of Missouri in the sourcehttp://books.google.com/books?id=bMpsBFGVbNEC&pg=PA284&lpg=PA284&dq=james+bryan+historic+potosi&source=bl&ots=IVDVv_G1rm&sig=i6AqsaavIpINzyhimgaHzLD9TI4&hl=en&ei=uOCTS6TxLM2Xtge_rLnUCg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CBAQ6AEwAzgK#v=onepage&q=james%20bryan%20historic%20potosi&f=false

Or have you ever heard of Bryan, Texas? (Maybe you have not, but surely you have heard of Texas A&M University which is located in Bryan College Station. Where did that name Bryan originate? History goes back to James Bryan.

Or no less than the United States Supreme Court case Bryan v, Kennett which discusses details of land transfer from Moses Austin to James Bryan. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryan_v._Kennett

I understand the name of the article in question is odd. Unfortunately, no historian has evidence of which I am aware of James Bryan's middle name or middle initial. This makes succinctly naming the James Bryan article-- a fairly common name-- very difficult. As it happens, James spent the majority of his life in Potosi, Missouri, where he was an entrepreneur, miner, and family head.

Perhaps I should rename the article "James Bryan of Potosi" or "James Bryan, Entrepreneur."

Please put the article back up with as much speed and judgment as you summarily deleted it. Bull Market 17:33, 7 March 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bull Market (talk • contribs) Bull Market 18:13, 7 March 2010 (UTC) Bull Market 18:20, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The reason I deleted it was not to do with vandalism. It was because there was nothing in the article to indicate that he was anyone of note (see WP:BIO). You have indicated more in the above few paragraphs about why he was notable than in the article you created. All that I could tell was that he was related from a lot of people and that the place called Bryan was named after the Bryan surname (not after the person).
I'll restore the page, but as it is likely to be deleted almost immediately in the current format, I'll move it to an area within your user space so that you can work on it until you are ready to have it moved into mainspace. Let me know when you are ready for it to be moved, and I'll put it in the proper place (the original article title isn't in Wiki format, so I'll need to do a bit of deleting and restoring for you).

The article is now at User:Bull Market/James Bryan Stephen! Coming... 19:16, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Magic Boiler page

Mcolijn (talk) 18:01, 7 March 2010 (UTC)Dear Stephen, I wrote an article on Magic Boiler which you deleted because of "advertising". I have written the article as a reference point for micro-cogeneration technology, and have now focussed specifically on that area of the company. I now want to upload this page, but don't know what happens if I do. Can you please advise? Regards, Michael ColijnMcolijn (talk) 18:01, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The newer article looks a lot better than before; it reads less like advertising copy and more like an article. Can I just check - are you anything to do with the company? If so, please read the conflict of interest policy, and make a declaration about your connection.
As for what will happen to the article now, if it meets the notability requirements (see WP:ORG) for companies and organisations, it will be left on Wikipedia, and anyone can edit and improve it.
Hope that answers your question. If not, please let me know. Stephen! Coming... 19:26, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

James Bryan / Bull Market

I will finish the page up. Thank you. Bull Market 19:29, 7 March 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bull Market (talk • contribs)

Hi Stephen..Need your help

How are you. I would like to get your help concerning a page that I have tried to help with. The person is Brett J. Salisbury. He played quarterback with my cousin, Doug Musgrave while at the University of Oregon. Anyway, My wife and I have been following his book which is the best selling book currently in the country at number 6. I have put my time in trying to make the page clean and unbiased and cleaned it up. I was wondering if you could help too. If you could make the page where it doesn't have anything on the top to make the references better etc. I'm not sure what else I can do. I just know he had changed my wife and I life with his book. I'm trying to due do justice for this man but don't know the wikipedia ways of making the page clean and without errors. Anyway you can help would be great.

Thank you Stephen, -Jeff Moore (24.253.27.16 (talk) 16:09, 10 March 2010 (UTC))[reply]

I had a look at the page, and it has been deleted as a copyright infringement of [this page]. What I would suggest you do is register as a user, and then create a sub page to your user page where you can work on the article to your hearts content before it gets moved to the main Wiki. However, and this is extremely important, you must read the policy on conflict of interest and declare your connection to him. It isn't a huge connection, but if you are upfront about it at the start, people will be ok about it. Hope that helps; if not, please drop me a line. Stephen!
