Hello. I currently work for Eric Edmeades -- cleaning up online content for his office. I have been away for a few weeks but arrived back to find that you have deleted Wikipedia page for Eric. It seems a notice of pending deletion was posted, no one objected, and now it is gone.
I am not really familiar with Wikipedia policies but when Eric noticed that there was a Wiki page put up he asked me to keep it accurate and clean -- and so I have done for several months.
When an admin note appeared that requested better 'wikification' of the site, I looked it up and followed the instructions. Each time a moderated asked for improvements or changes, I have done what they have asked.
Some months ago someone put a notability challenge on that site and it was contested by someone else before I could respond, and the notice was taken down. (Eric's notability is well established, he is an international speaker with significant followings in South Africa, England, Singapore, New Zealand and the United States. He establishes schools in Tanzania and spends 250+ days of the year speaking to social entrepreneurs around the world. Various 'famous' quotes sites have been quoting him for over a decade.
Can you help me with the grounds on which this page was taken down? I want to get some answers before I speak to Eric. When his Wiki article first appeared he suggested having it taken down because we could not control the content and I convinced him the a fair and impartial collaborative article/resource about him was a good idea. We have now spent quite a lot of effort making sure that the information you had on Eric (wherever it came from) was accurate and fair. The site was never used for sales/promotion but simply impartial information.
Nthabi (at) EricEdmeades.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.146.6.224 (talk) 09:31, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
Okay, I am now more confused:
1) Why was the PROD put there in the first place and;
2) Conflict of interest -- I did not write or post the article. I just took it upon myself to make sure that it was accurate and Wikified. When I first saw it it was a badly written collection of 'rumours' about Eric rather than a factual article. As far as I can tell, the article was edited and contributed by a number of different people -- some helpful, others not so much.
You can leave it off if you like -- clearly -- I am just frustrated because (a) I have kept any eye on the site for the last few months to keep the content clear and well presented and (b) I have created links from all our sites to the Wikipage that I will now need to delete.
What has to happen for (a) the article to re-appear or (b) for one to appear that fits within your guidelines. I do not want to find another bad quality version on Wiki again.
Cheers, Nthabi
is speeding it's way to you. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 21:26, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Jj137! My name is Victor. I am very fascinated Wikipedia user and I hope that my knowledge will be useful here.

Recently you nominated my book review of "Into the Land of the Lost" for deletion.
The reasons were: "There is no evidence that the book is notable, and even if it were this is a personal review or original research providing no sources."
That sounds pretty reasonable, so my question is: Are any book reviews proper content for Wikipedia?
For example, "City in the Clouds", also in the "Secrets of Droon" series, remains a valid item in Wikipedia. Is it written differently? Or has it simply not yet been noticed by someone who wants to nominate it for deletion?
I don't login to Wikipedia often, but I'm young and learning and appreciate your guidance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by LoganTummers (talk • contribs) 03:41, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your help with making the online/offline symbol. I was really wondering how to create one. If I have a different question, I'll ask. Oh! Here's one. Would you give me the BoSox Banner if I created 4 articles of 4 red sox baseball players? I already created 2. Their names are Hunter Jones and Justin Masterson (Created by me). I will create Tony Granadillo and Gil Velazquez right now. If it turns blue, that means I just created it. Thanks.--RyRy5 (talk) 23:43, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for my First Barnstar! I will continue my work for the Red Sox WikiProject. I have just finished the last article not created on the Red Sox roster which was Gil Velazquez. Until next year though, when the new rookies come in. Please send me a message anytime you like. Look Below and see that there is an article for all the players of the Red Sox roster. If it takes to much room in your talk page, you can delete it after looking at it. I put it here just so you can see all the atricles of the Red Sox roster. Thanks alot.--RyRy5 (talk) 01:23, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
I created those 4 articles in 1 week. I created Tony Granadillo and Gil Velazquez today, March 6th in less than 1 hour. I'm a pretty fast typer with good sources to get my information. Trust me, I really wanted my first Barnstar.--RyRy5 (talk) 01:39, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

I wanted to personally thank you, JJ, for your support in my recent RfB. I am thankful and appreciative that you feel that I am worthy of the trust the community requires of its bureaucrats, and I hope to continue to behave in a way that maintains your trust in me and my actions. I have heard the community's voice that they require more of a presence at RfA's of prospective bureaucrats, and I will do my best over the near future to demonstrate such a presence and allow the community to see my philosophy and practices in action. I hope I can continue to count on your support when I decide to once again undergo an RfB. If you have any suggestions, comments, or constructive criticisms, please let me know via talkpage or e-mail. Thank you again. -- Avi (talk) 16:16, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
