Hi, I noticed that you created the page Paige Brooks. I've deleted it because all of the information contained on the page was copyrighted information which is already contained at www.paigebrooks.com. While it would be perfectly permissible to have an article on Brooks in Wikipedia, it's not ok for Wikipedia to contain copyrighted information. If you would like to write an article about Brooks, say, in your own words, this would certainly be acceptable... but cutting and pasting from web sites is pretty much almost always not allowed for reasons of copyright. Thanks, and if you have any questions, you can reply here or on my talk page. --- Deville (Talk) 04:52, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs[edit]

Hello Missalusa! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 892 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Paige Brooks - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 01:21, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article is currently well verified by multiple sources both externally and internally on Wikipedia. Missalusa (talk) 09:58, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion notice[edit]

It seems I have unintentionally created quite an uproar here. I just want to take this opportunity to straighten out a few misconceptions and issues.

Firstly, I am Ms. Brooks' biggest fan!

I do not work for PaigeBrooks.com and the Paige Brooks article that I created 10 years ago is in no way affiliated with PaigeBrooks.com. I created it because I thought it was appropriate for this forum due to her level of recognition and honors.

Ms. Brooks' management team has been very kind to allow me to post photos, awards, etc. with their permission, when I asked. If you have any questions or want to confirm this information that I am providing, you can contact them. They are very nice. I contact them through the email address that is publicly available on the official website.

I am certainly and obviously not an expert at Wikipedia (this is the only Wikipedia article that I have ever done). I am not at all familiar with the guidelines and hope this is the correct way to get in touch with other users and administrators who have been taking issue of late.

Only now, after a recent update, have I realized that the manner in which I originally wrote the article and subsequent updates are not completely within the guidelines of your community. Luckily, through the years, I can see some of your experienced Wikipedia users have corrected my many mistakes and vastly improved the article.

The newest improvements are especially impressive. After 10 years of the article having my incorrect-for-Wikipedia writing style, I am happy to see that it meets the Wikipedia standards now.

I want to apologize for any previous, although unintended, guideline missteps. I never meant to upset anyone, although I am afraid some of my actions may have done so. I did not realize that those actions were breaking the rules. Most importantly, I do not want my mistakes to reflect on Ms. Brooks in any way.

I hope this note helps clarify things and that the article can continue to be included in Wikipedia now that it has been so vastly changed and improved, despite my inadequacies at creating and editing. Even after a decade, it is never too late to get things right. :)

I vote yes to keep the Paige Brooks article with the new improvements and updates. It has lots of verification and supporting documentation from both external and internal Wikipedia sources.

Thank you for your understanding. Missalusa (talk) 09:57, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
