Dear Blanchardb,

While I appreciate that this may sound like a joke, it is a serious compition. There are three (currently anonymous) sponsers who are putting up $16,666 each. I have been asked to do all the setting up and creating of the treasure hunt and clues. It is our hope that we can get some media coverage of it , at which point the compitions sponsers will reveal themselves an get some advertising. However, all three were soncerned about the possibilty of negative coverage, so don't want to be known at this time.

I will remind you that should you delete it, you will not be eligable for the prize. I wish you good luck and happy hunting - plus you are probably the first person to see this, thus can get a good headstart on the clue.

Yours sincerly,

can't understand why you deleted my page —Preceding unsigned comment added by Topgear23 (talk • contribs) 13:18, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If ever anyone holds a competition to see the oldest word that someone at Wikipedia has incorrectly labelled a "neologism", remind xem that you are in the running as a serious contender with this one. Almost two thousand years knocks those who have labelled centuries-old words, or merely decades-old ones, as neologisms, into a cocked hat. ☺ Uncle G (talk) 01:00, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey - great patrolling - just wondering what the second tag is for ? [1] JCutter (talk) 00:58, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Disregard - I re-read the template and get it now - just seemed strange to add both tags at once but I see what you were doing. Thanks. FYI - I notified OP of autobio... JCutter (talk) 00:59, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok...It said something like it could be deleted. Why??? I just created this coming series like about a week ago and I haven't posted anything like pictures, Information or videos yet. The link I submitted it to my OWN site. Just to let you know....So, Why is it up for possible deletion????? I, Myself made this...I know I may seem kind of overly worked up but I believe I have that right. All I did was post this so news could get out about my new manga/anime series. Ok? Goodbye and How do you remove the deletion box??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bunnee905 (talk • contribs) 01:16, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, in the above argumentation, you pretty much stated all the reasons why your article will be deleted. All articles in Wikipedia must be on topics that meet certain minimum notability standards. You are not stating that there is any reliable source that ever addressed your project; as a matter of fact you are pretty much stating that it is an upstart project nobody else knows about at this point. This will get any article deleted, no matter what.

Second point: you wrote an article about your own project. Under conflict of interest guidelines, this is strongly discouraged. You should wait for someone else, who has not been commissioned by you, to start the article on your project.

Third point: you are inviting people to participate. That makes your article borderline spam by our definition of the term.

Fourth point: you asked me how to remove the deletion tag. Easily done, but since it is a speedy deletion tag, and you are the creator of the article, removing it yourself may earn you a warning, and a block if you persist.

Please keep in mind that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a free web space provider.-- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 01:30, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Another point: You wrote an edit summary that reads as follows: Ok, please don't edit my articles because I created the series I speak about so...... No matter what you think, just Don't. Please and Thank You. Sorry, but in Wikipedia, you do not own articles, even articles about yourself. Such a plea will fall on deaf ears. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 01:33, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. It doesn't look notable at the mo. I have just started it. The horse was notable, winning NZ's main race three years in a row. Wallie (talk) 19:10, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that. I have updated it to show notability. I will add a lot more. The horse also held a lot of world records at the time. Wallie (talk) 19:25, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Blanchardb,

I´m brazilian and I saw the Brainfacturing definition here at wikipedia, which is very important here for us. As you can see, there are several google matches for this in portuguese. At pt.wiki, they deleted it because its an english term.....I don´t know if you understand, but I think this article should remain.

Thanks,

Please make your case at the deletion discussion, not here. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 21:21, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Blanchardb,

Thanks for the fix on the Alan Jenkins dab page. If you would give me any pointers to how these should be done, I should be grateful. I've added one more link since. FYI this came from a requested move which actually was just moving a redirect, but since my brother's middle name is Alan and I know how often that name is misspelled, I thought useful to add a redirect. Hope I did the right thing there. SimonTrew (talk) 22:32, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
