I am one of THE US experts on the subject. I did word it all to promote myself initially but only because as usual the article promotes everyone but the American artists in this. Why is that? I'm happy to answer questions if you want to edit it your way - but with the whole truth and the real picture. I actually do this. I am the Comic-con panel artist expert. I am an award winning American BJD artist very successful for 4 years. I don't need to promote myself. I just can not stand when an article claims to know everything and actually leaves out the US contingent. There are many other US artists and manufacturers as well. Why is there not even a section on us? Why is this happening here?

I believe you. So, the best plan is to use the article talk page to discuss changes: Talk:Ball-jointed doll‎. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 11:48, 14 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Green pillar number 2 has been very violated with the entire line up of companies mentioned and the total lack of US, French, Australian, Russian BJD artists and companies represented. It was based on a book that purposely violated pillar number 2 and I'm tired of seeing it every time I google BJD and finding it never changes. That is what spurred my attempted edit. The very thing you accused me of doing, this article blatantly does. Start there to think about reasonable edits. Research and at least mention notable US, French, Australian and Russian BJD artists. I'm sure there are others even I don't know about. But I do know that at the majority of BJD shows and conventions here in the USA generally there are few of the companies you mention represented. But there are many US artists who keep a thriving industry going here. Artists who win international acclaim and awards. Artists with actual expertise in the field, not a collector who wrote a book. Ask some of us before you write the next article or edit this one toward the truth of the matter not one author's opinion of which companies are notable. I'm in agreement on the Volks issue, otherwise, there is a definite favoritism going on for the rest of these companies and obvious exclusion of the rest of the world. This might have made sense 5 years ago in some measure. But it has been a blatant violation of pillar #2 for five years now. I think that's long enough.

Good points. I am happy to see you have started a discussion at the article's talk page raising these concerns. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:56, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits[edit]

Hello. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages, as you did to Ball-jointed doll. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Again, please do not promote yourself here. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 11:31, 14 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Really, if you add that content back again, you may be blocked from editing, and, your website could be blacklisted. Please, just try to help build the encyclopedia without promoting yourself. I can help if you like. You probably have a lot to offer Wikipedia as you know all about these dolls. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 11:33, 14 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
