I just wanted to ask about a new article I posted few day's ago and after nearly 1 hour the alert message "This article is written like an advertisement. Please help rewrite this article from a neutral point of view. For blatant advertising that would require a fundamental rewrite to become encyclopedic, use 'a certain template' to mark for speedy deletion" appeared then I edited and changed nearly the whole text in the page seeking to be more from neutral point of view , however the alert message is still here.. Would you please help m e ,the article name is "Elsewedy Electric" , Thanks in advance.( Moro27 ( talk) 08:25, 31 October 2010 (UTC))
Hi Jim,
I just created new article devoted to my software product DigiSigner. You wrote me, that there could be conflict of interest. That's correct, cause it is my own product. In my defence I can say, that there were two reviews of my product on software web sites (see links in the article), both written by the editors of those web sites. The second point is, there are no much difference between my product and those from, say List of PDF software. Actually this list encouraged me to create my article. I did my best to design it as others from this list.
I'm ready to provide additional information about my product or somehow confirm, that everything I wrote there is correct. You wrote also that to reduce the risk of article deletion I can provide a draft first. In this case, if my article is going to be deleted, should I provide a draft on my home page User:Dmitrylak and wait till it is accepted, or how does it work?
Regards

Hi, RNG-E has been published in a printed edition of iGamingBusiness magazine (Jan2010). RNG-E is not a product of a company, since it has been released to the public and is a base of work for some online gambling Regulators. The technology is quite recent and I think (just because it is company aseptic and no other similarities are found in the world) it deserves a mention in wikipedia.
thank you -- Dry. ( talk) 13:22, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi, in the case of a nonsense article like this, please use CSD, specifically A7. No reason to tag with "general notability" tags when this is clearly a speedyable topic, and a likely autobiography. — Timneu22 · talk 16:50, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi Top Jim, I wrote a new article on proteins called TAL effectors a few weeks ago and made the rookie mistake of using the plural form in the title.

I've put the following on the talk page there: "The earthquakes did actually occur. I've added http://www.annalsofgeophysics.eu/index.php/annals/article/viewFile/4032/4097 as a ref for that. However, a search for "noiembrie 19" romania Festivalul cutremur 1523 doesn't seem to give anything worth investigating. Perhaps someone could try that with a bit more attention - I'm packing for a camping weekend (with no earthquakes, I hope...)." And " "19 noiembrie " romania Festivalul "PERICOL seismice" doesn't seem any better." Peridon ( talk) 19:28, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
Unless clarification can be requested, I believe this entire page be removed. This is not a bio, rather it is advertising for BMB Group which has very mis-leading statements. The subject never worked for investments banks nor has the subject invested billions nor manages billions. Therefore unless people are called to 'Clarify' this is advertising to raise money or funds under mis-leading statements. Mannuk ( talk) 10:55, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
The subjects Passport name is Rayo Rahula Speering Withanage. The use of the name Salahadin is not a legal name. This was done for purposes of being involved in Islamic finance.
In conclusion, this entire subject page should be removed because its not a bio, its advertising for the BMB group. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mannuk ( talk • contribs) 11:06, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi there Top Jim! I saw that you rightly tagged this article as a copyvio. I've made an attempt at rewriting it neutrally, and would appreciate it if you make any tweaks you wish. Thanks for your help, ceran thor 14:33, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I had originally tagged John Park (musician) for A7, but I think the statement "He is the 2nd winner of the second series of Superstar K in 2010" might be construed as a claim to notability. Sticky (BLP) prod would still apply if the speedy gets declined, since according to WP:STICKY, "the BLP deletion template may be removed only after the biography contains a reliable source that supports at least one statement made about the person in the article" (emphasis mine). — KuyaBriBri Talk 14:34, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi Jim - I was looking for external references to help establish notability and can only find individual reviews of the books published by the Press. Is it worth referencing these, or would this look too much like an advert? The Press does appear to have a reputation for unreliability, but it has published a number of books by authors who appear to be of note, eg Reggie Oliver, Mark Samuels, Quentin S Crisp. I'll keep looking... Ghostlybrian ( talk) 13:40, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for your help and revisions. I thought it would be easy to find general references to the press. The few I have found are not always complimentary towards the delivery of books, but to use them as references would possibly be unfair. I don't know of any offline, I'm afraid.

Hi. No, I don't mind you changing the CSD reason. I saw you tagged the first incarnation as A10, but I didn't go with that myself as I didn't think it was really about linguistics - I thought it was about visual presentation.

Hi Jim, Hayley here I hope I'm not out of order coming into your page but this is my first foray into wikipedia so forgive me if I'm going against protocol. I think we've established in all of the links I have sent that a. Ken Scott does exist, b. He's undoubtedly the ghostwriter behind several top selling books including Dwain Chambers (listed on WP) autobiography, and Do The Birds Still Sing In Hell and c. He has additional works of fiction which are most definitely NOT self published. I've also sent the link to an Italian publisher who stock his book as well as UK and US site links too. Today I have sent a link for MCLA (Literary agents) featuring yet another of his ghosts, for the actress Crissy Rock. Is there anything else you require. I feel we are quite close but won't count my chickens. Many thanks for your help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hayley douglas ( talk • contribs) 11:09, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Jim, is that okay or do you need anything else? Hayley douglas ( talk) 15:39, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
Jim, I sent you The Guardian quote for reliability but also for balance. This article confirms Ken Scott was the ghostwriter for Dwains' book which is what you asked for?? If you look at Scott's 'review' on Amazon it isnt so much a 'review' but a defence of Mr Chambers. Mr Chambers recieves no praise in the UK press and it was very brave of Ken Scott to take on his book, he was bound to get berated from certain quarters and he did. You asked for a reliable source confirming he co-wrote the book not the views of a critic. Also, the article clearly states that Libros International is a publisher and not self published press. Surely this article answers the two questions asked by Peridan. I feel I have answered everything asked and am now rather dismayed to see the article has been removed! What next? I've spent over ten days trying to work with wikipedia and feel I have more than proven my point. What do you want next. Hayley douglas ( talk) 10:10, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I just wanted to say thanks for giving me a chance to post the entire article before speedy-ing it. I noticed, above, that you stated "I always like to give them 10 minutes before speedying, especially new users". As a new user I can't tell you how frustrated I was when earlier in the evening the same article was speedy deleted as I was writing it. (obviously I should have been using the wizard) So thanks for giving me a chance!

In numerous press articles or BM it talks about IZO and the Chairman of IZO who is mentioned in the IZO website. Therefore if you read the article on BMB being awarded the Zakat Fund it references IZO and the Chairman of IZO, which also includes pictures, therefore it does not need to mention BMB as based on the AMEAN press,Wallstreet Journal, FT, and other well known publications, this link must remain as it passes the test of WIKI Mannuk ( talk) 14:29, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
What is wrong with the sources given all the take pages. THe CEO of IZO is mentioned in reference 14 on the page. If you read the IZO www.internationalzakat.org website you see this is he same CEO and IZO. its a good reference for all persons to ee who granted the running o the bilion dollar zakat fund.

Thanks for your note.
I do have a few questions:
I did add my name to the "notable nanny list article" and it was removed. I am interested to know then, how could I have this back added in since in fact, in my professional, I am "notable." In 2004 I received an international award for my work, a letter from the president, and have written 4 nanny related books (not self published).
On the Baby Planner article, I am confused as to why it was seen as a conflict of interest to present factual information?
Are we not allowed to write about topics we know best?
Thanks!

You nominated Amitabh Thakur for speedy deletion as a repost of an article deleted after an AfD. I have declined the speedy deletion, as the article has been significantly rewritten, and has far more extensive sourcing. My own view is that it is doubtful whether there is sufficient notability, but it is not a clear-cut enough case for speedy deletion, so you may like to consider starting a second AfD.
