Disambiguation link notification for December 7

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Roomorama, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lofty (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:19, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Mile2 (company)

Hello Kindleworm,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Mile2 (company) for deletion, because it seems to be an promotion, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks, -MJH (talk) 22:58, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Mark M. Ford

Hi - I have been working on reviewing and considered rewriting Ford, and just noticed that you wrote Mile2 which I already proposed to delete. Ford has references to support notability, but his article is way way way too long and excessively detailed, and promotional also. It's borderline for proposing deletion, but I wanted to see if you want to tone it down and clean it up first. Encyclopedia articles need to be concise and clear, especially the lede. For example, you write in the lede "American author, entrepreneur, publisher, real estate investor, filmmaker, art collector, and consultant to the direct marketing and publishing industries." when "American author and entrepreneur" is more to the point. Then mentioning starting several businesses and every type. That entire paragraph is unnecessary. Ledes need to be very short, the top highlights. In the body, all the newsletters should be consolidated into an overview, rather than a section for each one. The admins hate all these sections. All the current business interests probably shouldn't make the cut, or at most be consolidated. Quotes from the subject, especially self-marketing guys, are rarely acceptable. Someone is likely to remove your photo without proof of permission.Good luck.---MJH (talk) 23:40, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

December 2012

Hello, Kindleworm. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may need to consider our guidance on conflicts of interest.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

• Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
• Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
• Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
• Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.

It appears from your contributions record that you may be engaged in writing articles for the benefit of businesses, including Mile2 (company), Roomorama, Page Traffic, and others. Please take note of the above statements and links regarding conflict of interest. The article Conflict of interest editing on Wikipedia also has information that you need to be aware of. Thank you.

Looks suspiciously like paid editing to me.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 10:11, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Herfabach

The article Herfabach has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This article has not been expanded and contains no useful information.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Kindleworm (talk) 00:02, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

That's not a legitimate deletion rationale. Most of our articles need expansion but meet notability requirements. Did you scout for sources? You should be assessing WP:Notability NOT how much content an article has. Notable subjects will always be notable, however short.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 09:42, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
