Frequently asked questions

• Where can I learn more about editing Wikipedia?
  • The best place to start is at the Help Desk. Other useful links include the style guide, the list of policies and guidelines, and the guide to editing. Please feel free to ask on my talk page if you have any questions.
• Why was the link I added removed from an article?
  • Typically, links are removed because they fail the external links guideline. Although many links are deleted because they were placed by spammers, links to good sites are also removed on a regular basis. This is because Wikipedia isn't a directory service; the mere fact a site exists does not mean it warrants a link.
• Why was my article deleted?
  • Pages can be deleted for many reasons; there are very specific criteria that govern the process. Please review this article for more information.
• Why was information relating to my company or organization removed?
  • This is a very common question, based on a misunderstanding of Wikipedia's purpose. This project is not a directory, forum, or search engine, and as such it is not a place for you to post advertisements about your company or your product.
• Why were my spelling changes reverted?

Wikipedia's Manual of Style recommends the use of regional varieties of English, based on the topic and the article's contribution history. Please avoid changing spellings unless they differ from the appropriate version. Most spell checking software can be configured to use British and American English; some extend this to include other varieties such as Canadian or Australian English.

Reverted changes - please explain

Please let me know why you reverted the changes to:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Conservative_Party_of_Canada&direction=prev&oldid=337361167

I had posted the following information, directly related to the subject, which has factual evidence supporting it....

The decision has subsequently given rise to a grassroots protest group, created by Christopher White on December 30, 2009, on the Facebook website entitled "Canadians Against Proroguing Parliament" which has been featured in global news headlines and attracted a membership of over 150,000 in its first 12 days of being online.

Reverting of affective computing and e-mail

The modifications I did to affective computing and e-mail were partly coming from my articles, which cite other sources. Consequently, these ideas are not only mines, and, furthermore, you make a mistake when confounding citing sources and making self-promotion.

Mostow edit question

CKatz –

Recently, you undid an edit of mine on the Jonathan Mostow page. I’m curious why you did that. I readily admit to being a fan of Mostow, but I edited the page because I felt the previous users had phrased it in a way that was unfairly negative. I used unambiguous language, as well as footnotes to back up everything I said. I know T3 was a divisive film, but to call it a failure when it earned $433 million worldwide and is registered Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes seems inappropriate. Similarly, while the critical reception to Surrogates was mixed at best, the film has made $120 million worldwide which, let's be honest, is also not the benchmark of a failure. Disappointing, sure, but not a failure.

Mainly, my problem is that it seems one person is trying to influence how Mostow is portrayed on Wikipedia, and that's not what Wiki is supposed to be about. Wikipedia is supposed to be a balanced presentation. Sure, there will always be those who try to influence matters, but that's what administrators are for - to maintain that balance.

Thank you for your time and attention, I look forward to hearing from you.

Blog citation?

I am not sure I understand when a blog from a mostly gossip site referring to a Twitter reference became a valid citation, as you recently used on Eric Delko on CSI: Miami. I thought no blogs, Twitter, Facebook (and several sites such as SpoilerTV, TV.com, IMDB.com etc) or anything else that could be edited by anyone were valid third party citations. Isn't this just like editing one page on Wikipedia, and then insisting it's validation for another edit? Do you see what I mean? I'm not trying to be a witch here, CKatz.I really just would like to know when this became accepted and where Wikipedia says it's alright to use them.

I found the following while attempting to research this myself. WP:ELNO

10.Links to social networking sites (such as MySpace and Facebook), chat or discussion forums/groups (such as Yahoo! Groups), Twitter feeds, USENET newsgroups or e-mail lists.

11.Links to blogs, personal web pages and most fansites, except those written by a recognized authority. (This exception is meant to be very limited; as a minimum standard, recognized authorities always meet Wikipedia's notability criteria for biographies.)

Please tell me what is correct. Thank you. Trista (User Triste Tierra - cannot log in at work) 24.176.191.234 (talk) 22:18, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

No, I hadn't seen the several changes listed as spelling. No argument with your edit.
