Edit conflict

No worries -- I took a quick look and saw your edits were obviously legit, so it was no problem to fix. That article has a lot of factual problems, and I've been trying to make that article it read less like it was written by a frustrated litigant. --Glenfarclas (talk) 22:03, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks....

User:Rick206/DynamicLanguage

Thank you for your help. I have edited the article more in hope to kill the spammy-ness of it. And am in process of adding more thrid party sources. If by chance you get a moment to glance over the article again, would you mind letting me know if it is at all getting better? Thank you very much for your help and patience. Rick206 (talk) 23:32, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Would it possible to request another review to see if the issues have been resolved or are making progressive steps toward a mainspace article? Thank you! Rick206 (talk) 20:48, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Ophélie bretnacher

Please, do not destroy this product.

Ophelia Bretnacher is the issue of a genuine debate on the rights of European citizens.

The problem is that although there is a cooperation agreement between the 2 European countries France and Hungary (Treaty of Lisbon), the agreement did, in the case of both the executive and the judiciary, not been observed for these two European countries, regarding the investigation of 2 fonts Hungarian and French, and also in judicial cooperation, for transmissions of autopsy findings in violation of new European laws. Only the High Court of Justice may decide that case.

This is only the beginning.

Today there were 2 more newspaper articles in France and many more in Hungary. Raymondnivet (talk) 01:50, 9 December 2009 (UTC) http://www.lunion.presse.fr/index.php/cms/13/article/393993/Il_y_a_un_an_Ophelie_Bretnacher_disparaissait_a_Budapest_____Le_doute_n_est_pas_acceptable__

If you destroy this item, I would have to do it again in a few months, with judicial action and the media ahead.

Everything in it is strictly proven, information is the most neutral, impartial and fair as possible.

Thank you

Thank you

Hi Ukexpat, thank you very much for your feedback and help with my first article (European Youth Portal). I added a sentence about the number of language versions of the portal and deleted some sentences. I think it is still fine and I will (try to) move it today.

User:Rasikar/Shilpa Architects

Hi Ukexpat, I just wanted your advice about User:Rasikar/Shilpa Architects, particularly about citing references. I tried to include links to articles on the web about some of the information I included in the article. Am I citing it and referencing it right? Please let me know.

Thanks, Rasikar (talk) 15:19, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi,

I wrote the article on 'National Scholars & Leaders Conference' The article was not meant to be an advertisement. I've tried to keep it short and sweet to summarize what the event is all about. Is there anyway I can improve on my article?

Thanks

Shilpa Architects - logo

Hi Ukexpat, thanks so much for your help with the references on User:Rasikar/Shilpa Architects. I have a jpeg of their logo that Pavithra Sri Prakash at Shilpa Arhictects sent me for my final project presentation. She also said that we could use it for the wikipedia article. I went ahead and added it but am not sure if you think it is in the right place on the article. I hope i did it right. Please feel free to place the logo elsewhere. Also, if you could move the article to the main space that would be fabulous. Thanks again for all your help!

Attracting attention

Hi UKexpat, I noticed your comment at the karaoke singer and around, also that you seem to be well informed as to the places to notify of issues, I have started this RFC and have added it to the history and Geography section but I want to attract as much attention from people that might want to comment, perhaps the Brazil people but I am not sure, is there anymore locations I could notify?

Your changes on Spotify

I notice you recently reverted some changes on the page for Spotify, claiming that they amounted to a how-to on circumventing various Spotify restrictions. I don't believe that was the case - the additions offer no real help to anyone wanting to do what's described, and I believe the fact that users can and do exploit these holes is notable. I appreciate you might disagree, so please come to the talk page and discuss this. --Jonnty (talk) 01:06, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Re: Feed-back on the article: Ayodele Awojobi

Thanks for your feed-back on my article, Ayodele Awojobi.

I see the sense in the points you have made. Where "flowery" phrases have actually been made by known persons in describing the subject of my article (Ayodele Awojobi), I guess it's only appropriate to cite these, or even include direct quotes.

I'll improve the language and appreciate your continuos supervision. Thanks, Ukexpat.

Thanks for your help with my page on DJ Frank E

Thank you! I appreciate your help! Chrismarez/DJ_Frank_E I added some more sources and edited the bio a little bit more. Would you mind looking over it once more and potentially moving it.

I understand that blogs aren't viable sources but the music blog that I cite is published by one of the largest alternative weeklies in the country. Does that effect the validity of the source? I mean would a blog published by the new york times not be considered a viable source either?

Some of the other sources that I cite are www.tonibraxton.com, djboth.net, and even a link to a fan letter from Madonna. Do I have enough viable sources to move this page?

Thanks for your time! --Chrismarez (talk) 21:12, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Reply from KSatSCB re: Misplaced Pages Article on "Shabby chic"

Dear ukexpat:

Thank you for your message of December 11, 2009, advising that you have reverted all of the recent changes I submitted to the Misplaced Pages article on “Shabby chic”. While your comments are appreciated, my efforts to edit the article were not for the primary purpose of advertising the SHABBY CHIC brand. Rather, these edits corrected several inaccuracies in the unreferenced article, and provided supporting references in the form of a New York Times article and United States Trademark Office records of trademark registrations for the term.

You have suggested that an article about the SHABBY CHIC brand should be written separately rather than “destroying the existing article about the concept”. However, the brand is inseparable from and intertwined with the “concept” because the term cannot be used without reference to its creator, Rachel Ashwell. This is evidenced by the October 14, 2009 New York Times article (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/15/garden/15shabby.html?pagewanted=1&_r=3&sq=shabby%20chic&st=cse&scp=1) and even by the prior version of the Misplaced Pages article.

I note that you have further edited the prior version by removing reference to Ms. Ashwell, her stores, and the trademarks. By deleting these items, you are disassociating the “concept” from the brand and its originator. I encourage you to see other Misplaced Pages entries, such as the article on “telephone” at http://en.wikipedia.org/Telephone, which neither omits mention of Alexander Graham Bell nor the American Telephone & Telegraph company, because of their relevance to the particular item. Readers of this article would be poorly served without information about the originator and the company that popularized the device. Similarly, it is important that those seeking information about the Shabby Chic “concept” are educated about its creator and the history of her business as it relates to the term. In the absence of such information, the article will likely cause confusion.

Finally, because Shabby Chic Brands, Inc. is the owner of numerous trademark registrations for SHABBY CHIC in the United States and globally, and protects and enforces its trademark rights against those who use SHABBY CHIC without authorization, the article as it now stands could have the effect of encouraging or promoting such unauthorized use and exposing those who rely on or refer to the article to claims of infringement. Surely, Misplaced Pages is designed to add clarity to people’s knowledge, rather than ambiguity that can expose them to liability.

Accordingly, I request that you reconsider and allow the inclusion of the changes I submitted. If you do not agree, I can instead create an article on “Shabby Chic (brand)” as you suggested, and cross-reference it when I make further changes to eliminate inaccuracies in the “Shabby chic” article.

I look forward to your reply.

Regards,

Thanks for the welcome

Thanks much for the welcome, Ukexpat. I'm modified my page on Zomia to include 3 references. I'm not sure how to move it to the mainspace--what should I do? Thanks, Nfekxdachex (talk) 21:39, 14 December 2009 (UTC)Nfekxdachex

Thanks for comments on Fastflow (computing)

Dear Ukexpat,

thanks for your comments on Fastflow (computing). I'm currently the main contributor of the page, and I'm somehow in a conflict of interest since I'm also a designer of Fastflow. The page was my first contributed to wikipedia. I'll take care of your comments looking carefully to wikipedia discipline about conflict of interest, and other useful comments the page received. I hope to improve it in a while (following wikipedia discipline). Also, I hope someone else will contribute to the page.
