Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. That means it is not a social networking site, a place for self-promotion, a marketing tool or a free web host. I reserve the right to remove or disemvowel inappropriate comments. This includes vandalism, legal threats and trolling. I also reserve the right to rewrite poorly formatted comments for readability. If you wish to discuss your link additions, I advise you to read guidelines regarding external links, conflicts of interest and avoiding tripping the spam radar by accident before posting. These pages contain information about the appropriateness of link additions. The possibility that the blog/MySpace page/Youtube Video/sign on a telephone pole you read is a reliable source is roughly equal to the chance that I will be the next Pope. I'm a lesbian. You do the math. It does not matter if you did hear it from your best friend that her next-door neighbor's cousin knows this guy who once dated someone who went to high school with a roadie for the band you made an article for, we still need a reliable, verifiable source. If I nominated your page for deletion, read the CSD I nominated it under, one passing mention in a trade magazine does not make your company/band/mummified cat juggling act worthy of a Wikipedia article. I prefer to be contacted here (as opposed to email) where possible. You're much more likely to get a prompt response. If you are rude, obnoxious, or otherwise behaving nastily, you will simply be reverted. It's important to realize the propaganda coup the disastrous spying policies of the NSA have handed to authoritarian governments worldwide. They can push through laws clearly designed to tighten control over their citizens, on the premise of protecting them from the NSA, and the public in Russia is likely to have some sympathy. After all, the Brazilians (who appear to have little authoritarian aims at all) are heading down the same path. It's a disaster for an open and free and neutral Internet, an Internet of the world. ~ Jimbo Wales Start a new talk topic Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top.

I had to fix layout errors for the following discussions; your errors in closing these discussions created errors on the entire AfD log page. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ritu Raj Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Carpe Fulgur Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gravity Love Additionally, I had to remove the AfD templates from the article pages and add the AfD result templates to their talk pages. Again, I suggest you don't perform such closures unless you can do so properly. Also, the closure at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ritu Raj as a "snow" keep is inappropriate, because only two respondents to a nomination is not particularly worthy of a "snow" closure. Thank you for your consideration, NorthAmerica1000 07:15, 24 May 2014 (UTC) Noted, if you find anywhere else I can improve upon please do not hesitate to point it out, to be honest learning a bit when it comes to non-admin closures and the details involved, I'll go back on all the ones I did and double check for any errors.

Please, since you closed the discussion and are not an admin, find an admin to perform the history merge. This is a closure you very much ought not to have done on the simple basis that work is required that you do not have the user rights to perform.

The reason the content was removed was that it verges on vandalism, does not use a neutral tone with respect to a living person and it is not properly sourced. If you review the edit history for this page and the talk page of this editor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:74.66.11.71) you will note that it was blocked several weeks ago because of exactly this problem after several editors made efforts to reason with the editor who repeatedly inserted this inappropriate text. Let me know if you would like to discuss further. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.73.232.21 (talk) 17:45, 25 May 2014 (UTC) Which is an excellent reason to remove content, using edit summaries greatly helps other editors differentiate between legitimate content removal such as the above and vandalism :-) ♥ Solarra ♥ ♪ Talk ♪ ߷ ♀ Contribs ♀ 21:59, 25 May 2014 (UTC) A cookie for you!

The changes I've been trying to make are not vandalism, nor are they experimentation. The definition currently on the Bisexuality page -- "attraction to both males and females" -- is incorrect as according to the bisexual community itself. This is a harmful spread of misinformation, as is the idea that only two sexes and genders exist. "Romantic attraction" should not be included under the label "bisexuality," as it has its own distinct label, "biromanticism." You also removed the addition of asexuality as a possible sexuality, which is frankly offensive, as asexuality gets little visibility elsewhere as well. 206.208.133.156 (talk) 05:10, 27 May 2014 (UTC) If you look on the page itself it says: "SOURCING: As discussed on the talk page, there are two definitions of bisexuality, but the one used by authoritative sources and dictionary/other encyclopedic sources only mentions two sexes/two genders (male/female and man/woman), not "all sexes/genders," "more than one gender" or "irrespective of gender." Initially stating "males and females" is following the Wikipedia WP:Due weight policy and keeps things simple without delving into the complex issues of sex and gender, which are broached in the rest of the paragraph with the second definition of bisexuality and how that may be termed "pansexuality."" The terms 'male and female' are what consensus has decided should reflect on the article, and although certain camps may argue for another definition, this is the definition that the editing community has decided. ♥ Solarra ♥ ♪ Talk ♪ ߷ ♀ Contribs ♀ 05:26, 27 May 2014 (UTC) Hi Solarra Please can you give some guidance as to the content of the Ausmed Education page so that it does not amount to 'speedy deletion'?

I thought it was important to show people searching wiki for the potters house church what the church is really like, from an actual member rather than from people who have left in the past or just don't know that much about the church. The way the church was being portrayed, in my opinion was inaccurate. I personally believe it a lovely Christian and love filled place to be, and wanted to share that with everyone. I understand people may think I come from a biased viewpoint, but you need both viewpoints on the site rather than just a critical viewpoint, I personally believe from my experiences of 16 years up till present, that my viewpoint is objective.

Wikipedia has a strick policy against the editing of information about religion on the basis of intolerance against religion or religious groups. I intend to report this matter if any more words to Judaism and Christianity and Islam are removed from the Hailsham page without proper justification. Wikipedia is a site for everyone to add to, and to edit, not just people who hold narrow religious viewpoints and are intolerant of others. References to Jewish persecution should not be edited out of a town's history just because some people do not like it. I haven't edited that page.
