Hi there. The ] article has recently achieved A-class status. Due to the wealth of support I have decided to now nominate for an FA class article which I believe and judging by the comments of others is pretty much up to.

Hey, sorry it took so long, but thanks a bunch for my editor review! I had forgotten all about it, but I finally remembered that I had submitted one. After a bit of backtracing, I found you had reviewed me. Thanks so much! On a few of your comments: Yes, I did know that editor who vandalised ] page. They had edited from home, but had discussed adding that at school the day before. The "biting" comment on the unicode page was kinda mean, too. You're right, I didn't mean it to be biting, it is hard to convey meaning in words. Yeah, you are correct, I do need to add sources to the school's site. I hoped to do that two months ago, but I got caught up in school work. I plan to do it soon. I believe that since then I have removed much of the unsourced criticism, but I haven't looked in ages. This is the first time I've really been able to have some free time here in a while. Do you really think that joining a wikiproject would be helpful? I generally find it a pain to write... simple reverts are more my thing. Any projects on that that you could recommend? Once again, thank you so much, sorry it took so long to get back to you.

== International Tax Solutions ==

Hi Moonriddengirl

I am confused, if you type 'International Tax Solutions' into the search bar of www.answers.com you will come across a page that is attributed to Misplaced Pages. My entry was based on this page and also took its format including the external link.
I would like to edit this page, updating it with more relevent info and with no advertising content. I would be grateful if you could advise me if this is possible.

:Hi, Johnribcage, and thanks for your note. First please let me point out to you that the article you've been using as a template, ], was also speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages, and not once, but twice. It was deleted on August 17th for ] and on October 31st as ]. It's probably not a good model on which to base a new page. If you believe the company merits an article, you might do better to start at the bottom.

:An article on this company would be governed by the ]. The rule of thumb here is noting whether the company has received significant or widespread coverage in ] that are ] and independent of the company (excluding company PR releases and information solely available on the company website&mdash;these sources may be used for additional information after notability has been established by secondary sources). It isn't enough to establish that the service the company supplies is notable. You must establish that the company is itself of encyclopedic interest. All material must be ].

:It also needs to be written ] and with an ]. The article should not read like a defense of the business or an encouragement of the use of the product, but simply set out who the company is and, again, why it is notable enough for an encyclopedia entry. You might want to look at established articles on Misplaced Pages on similar topics to get an idea how others have handled it, but please be careful in choosing your models. :) There are more than a few articles on Misplaced Pages that are inconsistent with policy but have simply not yet been tagged.

:I hope that this response will prove helpful to you. Please let me know if I can clarify any of the above. --] <sup>]</sup> 13:21, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

== consumerpowerlines deleted ==

Hi Moonridden girl,

you recently deleted an article of mine on consumerpowerlines. i have no real problem but would like your thoughts so i can improve my contributions in the future. so a question...


Was the article deleted because it seemed like an advertisement or because there was not enough info or something else?

I added it not as an advertisement but because i was researching the company and found no wikipedia article. i was hopping to go back later and add more info. the company is growing quickly and i think it deserves a wiki article.

Welcome

If you are here with questions about an article I have deleted or a copyright concern, please consider first reading my personal policies with regards to deletion and copyright, as these may provide your answer.

While you can email me to reach me in my volunteer capacity, I don't recommend it. I very seldom check that email account. If you do email me, please leave a note here telling me so or I may never see it. I hardly ever check that account.

To leave a message for me, press the "new section" or "+" tab at the top of the page, or simply click here. Remember to sign your message with ~~~~. I will respond to all civil messages.

I attempt to keep conversations in one location, as I find it easier to follow them that way when they are archived. If you open a new conversation here, I will respond to you here. Please watchlist this page or check back for my reply; I will leave you a "talkback" notice if you request one and will generally try to trigger your automatic notification even if you don't. (I sometimes fail to be consistent there; please excuse me if I overlook it.) If I have already left a message at your talk page, unless I've requested follow-up here or it is a standard template message, I am watching it, but I would nevertheless appreciate it you could trigger my automatic notification. {{Ping}} works well for that. If you leave your reply here, I may respond at your talk page if it seems better for context. If you aren't sure if I'm watching your page, feel free to approach me here.


Admins, if you see that I've made a mistake, please fix it.

Reaching me

During my current work interim position, I have found myself with not a lot of spare time that isn't consumed by family. I can go long periods without logging in to Misplaced Pages. If you have an urgent note for me here, please consider alerting me via email at mdennis@wikimedia.org. (This is my work email address, and I do not mix work and volunteering, but mailing that address makes sure I will see it promptly, usually within a day.) If not urgent, I'll come by as soon as I can, and I heartily welcome talk page stalkers. :) Oh, I have discovered that sometimes when people don't tell me it's a volunteer contact, I have handled it with the wrong hat on. Please make which "me" you want clear!

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

Long time no see!

Hi. A former helper of copyright clean-up here who last interacted with you a long time ago! I know you haven't been as active as you used to be, but thought I'd let you know that we have a new candidate for adminship that's keen to help out in CCI. If ever you'd like to take an interest in Copyright cleanup again, I'm sure she'd be happy to collaborate with you. If not, that's OK, just saying hello to you.
