Hi. Welcome, again. I deleted this, as you tagged it so very emphatically (one db tag is enough) but I didn't see any obvious reason why you wanted it gone. If you change your mind, I will be happy to bring it back for you. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 18:45, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
Hello Bam21. I recently noticed your edit request at MeidasTouch. While evaluating your request, I noticed that the founders' surname, Meiselas, matches the surname of a person who you once created a Wikipedia page about, before having it deleted (and then it was moved to your userspace), as briefly explained here on your talk page. Is it possible you have a conflict of interest with respect to MeidasTouch?
If so, you you must disclose it; please read WP:DCOI for the process to disclose any conflicts of interest. Second, when making edit requests related to your conflict of interest, please use the COI edit request template.

Hello, Bam21. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page MeidasTouch, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Two separate editors have responded to your COI edit request to say they do not think there is enough sourcing for your proposed changes (in addition to my initial decision regarding sourcing on your first-posted edit request). Instead of editing MeidasTouch again, please continue to engage in the COI edit request process. Pinchme123 (talk) 22:07, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
I'm placing my reply here because it goes off topic from the article. Regarding your last reply message, you make a good point, but this is still inescapably an ontological discussion. There is in one realm the PAC which is devoid of human beings and their resources, which exists only as inanimate objects like office equipment paperwork and office buildings. Those can be eliminated or closed down so that they cease to operate and could be considered "no longer in existence". Then there is the PAC that is made up of animate humans, people and their minds, their thoughts, their business connections and their social resources. Those processes cannot be eliminated destroyed or ceased to exist unless the person ceases to exist. Because living people continue living and carry over into other vocations while keeping all of their human resources and business connections, it can be surmised that though they may not be organized in the same exact way, they still effectively function elsewhere doing probably similar work. They remain in existence. The PAC is arguably not the room or building where people meet or the desk where they work at. It's actually the people who inhabit it and make the PAC function. On paper we can say an organization no longer exists but that's a misnomer. The people who make up the PAC are doing something else under a different name. That's where you and I agree. Mentioning in the article that MT PAC was reorganized as DDA with the intention of operating completely separate and distinct from MT would ideally be a much more intellectually honest rendering of this information. On the other hand, saying that the MT PAC no longer exists is hyperbole, because nothing moves in and out of existence so easily. When I throw a ball to my cat and it goes behind the couch, my cat still looks for it, even though he doesn't see it. The ball's "existence" is so strong, that even when he doesn't see it, he knows it's there. Questions of existence are not to be taken lightly — they very easily render as being highly subjective, and are better to be completely left out of the discussion. That's why in the end I think a blanket statement that It "no longer exists" is intellectually dishonest and that it only tells half the story. To put it another way, is a fact that only tells half the story, half a fact? If the reader is told that this no longer exists when the human resources that powered it are functioning under a different name elsewhere, then the reader's only getting half the story. I don't think the reader should have to settle for half a story. But unfortunately to get that other half we need a reference. Right now It appears that none exist, but it takes time for something to come into existence (which proves my point — that moving in and out of existence rarely happens overnight — and more often takes a lot of time) Regards, Spintendo 23:06, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
