Personal rapid transit

Barek, you should read the discussion page of PRT article. 91.78.245.121 (talk) 17:59, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I did, and replied at talk:Personal rapid transit#SkyTaxi. Sockpuppetry to force in an advert linkspam which fails both WP:ELNO and WP:RS is not appropriate behavior on Wikipedia. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 18:02, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Planetimplant.com

Barek, I think you misunderstand. Planetimplant.com is am informational site and requires no membership fee and does not sell anything. It is both for the public to increase understanding of dental implants and for dentists, manufacturers and laboratories to join together to better understand and advance the field.(1009) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Oraldr (talk • contribs) 17:39, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Amber Dawn Lee talk page

this is seriously like chasing my own tail -- you only deleted this because the page it's associated with is missing -- AGAIN ignoring updates on the talk page. PER WIKIPEDIA GUIDELINES I've been trying to update, resurrect deleted pages I thought were in error, and I have about 5 different admins deleting stuff willy nilly. PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP ME HERE?!? --Kevjkelly (talk) 03:38, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You may want to review WP:BIO as well as WP:NPOV for how to establish a person as notable under Wikipedia guidelines and to be better phrased into a neutral encyclopedic tone. If you want, I can restore the article into your userspace (ie: article location would be user:Kevjkelly/Amber Dawn Lee) where you can work on it further until it's better sourced and the wording made less promotional. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 03:43, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That would be much appreciated, thank you!

could you possibly please restore Renegade Theatre Experiment to my userspace as well -- I was updating it to more strictly comply with the Wikipedia guidelines and removed potentially copywritten materials.

Thanks a bunch! --Kevjkelly (talk) 04:14, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've restored the Amber Dawn Lee material to your user space.
I see that you've already requested userfication of the other article from another admin, so I'll let him review and act on it. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 04:50, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Network Marketing

Barek, while I accept that there were errors in my html (which is obviously a slim excuse), the fact remains that you have repeatedly deleted any attempt to cast a positive view on network marketing. Your excuse that my two measly sentences were redundant is plainly untrue. There is nothing in the article whatsoever that would evidence that claim. Either delete the entire article, which is manifestly negative from end to end, or allow the fair inclusion of positive material, of which there is a great deal extant in the world. In my view, your approach to so-called editing amounts to a flagrant attempt to control the message.

In this edit, you seem to be arguing within the text. Moreover, the point that MLM is legitimate is already demonstrated in the text (ie: redundant). The only additional material is mentions of authors and links to their work - not expanding the understanding of MLM, only advertising books related to the subject. The fact that the ref tags were broken was secondary.
If you disagree, standard process is to begin a discussion on the article's talk page where the Wikipedia community can follow the dsicussion and comment. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 03:29, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find a talk page, but the fact remains that "redundant" is a judgment and terming useful references "advertising" is also a judgment justifying unwarranted interference in ANY and EVERY attempt to balance this distinctly negative page. You are masking personal prejudice under a thin veneer of being a wikicop fighting "redundancy" and "advertising". Vejeestu (talk) 14:12, 15 October 2010 (UTC)vejeestu (talk [reply]
