I'm new to wikipedia and I'm not sure if you are even the right person to contact about this, but I got some random "vandalism" notification for fixing an out of place subject under Roller Skating. I'm not trying to vandalize your website by any means, I'm trying to help and was planning on creating a new page to correctly explain the content I removed from the original subject. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.108.7.144 (talk) 04:38, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
I will be happy to water down any wording that cannot be substantiate and/or which you consider to be POV. Let me know what works and I will work with you to improve. I may have been a bit excessive in my initial wording but see no reason why the intent of this copy should not be included. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Digiterata (talk • contribs) 22:30, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Someone deleted a portiion I had entered earlier on the subject of Casper. I had stated that "Jasper" was NOT a variant of Casper...which it is not. I even entered a reference on on the origin of "Jasper" which was deleted..by some unkonwn person.
Jasper is derived from the German word of the same spelling. In German it is pronounced "Yahsper" that is because it is derived from a Greek word pronounced "Yahspes". Both of these words refer to the "gemstone" we call "Jasper".
Certainly there are people named "Jasper" just as there people with other gemstone names, e.g. "Pearl", "Ruby" "Diamond" etc.
But the fact is that neither "Jasper" nor its Greek counterpart are etymologically related to "Caspar" "Kaspar" or "Gaspar"..and should therefore NOT being in this Wikipedia section. Shadrack-dva (talk) 10:27, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

If you could tell me how to do this I would be grateful! MSGJ (talk) 12:27, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
I think I may have found the best solution to this problem. Following a link such as this one brings you to a preloaded template on a new section of a page, with the section already filled in. In this way, each new submission with the same title will go in a new section (they will all be called New Submission but that's okay) and the template will be added again each time. What could go wrong? MSGJ (talk) 23:11, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
Someguy, I noticed that you frequently comment on questions in WP:NOR/N. Would you kindly take a look at the thread Ahmad ibn Ibrihim al-Ghazi, & offer your opinion? Thanks. -- llywrch (talk) 19:25, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Hey, I noticed your comment at Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#Userlinks are running away from me about your mouse scroller not working right in Firefox. That is truly unfortunate. Have you tried the Opera web browser? It's very small (8.5 MB), works quite well and quite fast, and is certainly better than IE6. Hopefully your mouse scroller will work with it - at the very least it's worth a shot. —Remember the dot (talk) 02:19, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Someguy1221:
I don't see the issue with putting the article's author's name on it and confirming the date upon which the article was last edited. I am an employee of the station and I know for a fact who wrote the article, who put it on wikipedia, and that the information is correct. There is no conflict of interest because the person who runs the station and wrote the article gave the go ahead to make this page. Furthermore, I believe the person who wrote it deserves credit. If you could reply to me, here, with some accurate justification, I would appreciate it.

Well done with the new template. I found a small problem with the cv version. For example
((AFC submission|D|cv)) should produce the general message, but instead it produces ((AFC submission|D|cv)). ((AFC submission|D|cv|http://ipht.cea.fr/en/Phocea-SPhT/ast_visu_spht.php?id_ast=447)) did not produce the expected result. It also produced ((AFC submission|D|cv|http://ipht.cea.fr/en/Phocea-SPhT/ast_visu_spht.php?id_ast=447)).
Cheers, MSGJ 16:17, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
Could you check my work on the ((AFC completed)) template please? I don't think I've broken anything. I was wondering about combining all these templates into the ((AFC submission)) template, to tidy things up - any other advantages/disadvantages to that? MSGJ 16:24, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
I've made a list of points needing to be addressed for B.6, because the approach may be viable (User:Vassyana/RFC notes). I am trying to address the caveats and opposition raised while maintaining coherency and sticking to the approach of the proposal. All the points raised seem like they can be addressed without contradiction. Your comments on the sandbox talk page would be appreciated, to make sure I'm staying on track.

If there was something inaccurate or misleading in the quotes and statements I added why don't you correct them. I don't think it's appropriate that you simply removed addition. Since she was rebuked by her own editor, and as the quotes show other leading writers, and the story was widely reported, I don't know how you can argue that she wasn't widely criticized. But if you have better wording, go for it. I'm putting the information back in the article.(Wallamoose (talk) 16:22, 18 September 2008 (UTC))

Last year you got a message from Glenn from Quicken Loans about updating the Quicken Loans Wikipedia page. Glen left the company and I've taken his place. I have a editing request and I'd like to run it by you to avoid any conflict of interest. I want to update the Quicken Loans profile to reflect our new reverse mortgage company, One Reverse Mortgage. I'm requesting the first sentence change from:
Quicken Loans Corporation is a retail home mortgage lending firm in the U.S. Quicken Loans Inc. is comprised of the Quicken Loans, Rock Financial, and Title Source, a settlement service provider.
to:
Quicken Loans Inc. consists of the QuickenLoans.com online lending site, the Rock Financial brand in southeast Michigan, One Reverse Mortgage, based in San Diego, California, and Title Source, a mortgage settlement service provider.

I'm looking for a compromise. I really think that a lack of basic knowledge is an important part of this discussion. The movie is so flawed in terms of the economic concepts that no credible economist will bother making any commentary in writing; it is almost like I have to prove that 2+2=4. I have real experience in this field as I work and teach in the securities industry so I thought I could lend a helping hand on this subject. What info or reference would make you happy? Seriously? Too sleeply, forgot the signature. Sorry. Friedonc (talk) 20:39, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
I think the lines you reverted were more informative about the subjects of the documentary. Conspiracy theories are not even a subject, only an allusion within the John Perkin's interview; and what he said is "This isn't a conspiracy theory type of thing". I had removed those lines because, I think, those details should be in a more descriptive section than the introduction. Chab (talk) 20:35, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
When adding content to an article, please take care not to create false references. Unless the citation you are placing actually refers to the topic of the article or section you are editing, it is probably a false reference. That is, if you are writing about what John said about Bob, then Bob's writings can't be used as a reference. You have to use something John said as a reference. But if Bob is actually being discussed, then his works may still be useful as a link - either internal links directly in the text, or in an external links section. Cheers.

Hi, I have another query for you. I have been tidying up the AFC wizard by putting a lot of the code into templates, e.g. ((AFC wizard)). There is something not working quite right though. The spacehas been reduced between the buttons, e.g. compare this version with this one. I can't work out why because the template contains the same code that was there ... Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks. MSGJ 18:45, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
Do you know why the pipe stops the link on this page from wikilinking? (It was due to this edit.) Assuming this is not possible is there a way to extract the subpage name from the parameter or would I need to add that as another parameter? Cheers, MSGJ 12:51, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
Got another puzzle for you. By using 3 tildes, the wizard is passing the author's signature to the template. I was wondering if there was any way to extract the username from this so that we can provide a link to preload the ((Afc talk)) template onto the author's talk page.

I don't get it. You take out my edits, claiming that they are not authoritative, even though they point to web-based external references reflecting the experiences of hundreds of people (not to mention my own--you expect me to scan my credit card receipts?), citing as an authoritative source another Wikipedia entry where you, in fact, contributed to the content without external references?

Hi Someguy, need your help again! With this edit I was trying to sort the completed category chronologically. All new requests should come with the submit parameter containing the timestamp from when it was originally submitted. Obviously the old ones don't contain this so I tried to specify the default sortkey using the basepagename as usual. However it didn't work. Indeed it depopulated the category - because the sort key was empty it just printed [[Category:Completed Afc requests|]] on the page. Anyway I've undone myself until I/we can fix this. Thanks, MSGJ 19:24, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi there, I have a question for you again. The magic word ((TALKPAGENAME)) gives the title of the talk page of the current page. Is there any template that will take a page name as a parameter and output the title of that page's talkpage? In my recent edit on Template:Afc talk, I added Talk: before the page name. But I think this will only work if the page is in mainspace! Thanks, Martin 14:05, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I have added your name to this page which I am planning to transclude to the instruction page and the main project page. Basically I thought it would be a good idea to tell new reviewers who they can ask for help about the AfC process. Hope you are happy about this. If not, I will remove your name. Cheers, Martin 17:34, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
Hey! One of your uncategorised submissions made it through: Karel Rüütli. It could use some more sources, but he sounded significant enough that there will be other sources. I noticed we were both working on the uncategorized category at the same time the other day, because it was reducing much more quickly than I expected :) So are you not taking part in the AfC challenge?? Martin 08:28, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
Happy New Year! I've drafted some instructions at Category:Uncategorized Afc requests. Martin 17:48, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
A concern was raised that the clause, "a primary source may be used only to make descriptive claims, the accuracy of which is verifiable by any reasonable, educated person without specialist knowledge" conflicts with WP:NPOV by placing a higher duty of care with primary sourced claims than secondary or tertiary sourced claims. An RFC has been initiated to stimulate wider input on the issue. Professor marginalia (talk) 19:11, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
Some guy: I would like to dispute your removal of my edit to goth sub culture.
My comment that goth fashion is ridiculous is no more unconstructive than calling it Morbid. Please justify why that comment remains but mine has been deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.72.147.237 (talk) 22:56, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
I'm sorry but I think if you did a poll that the majority of people would agree that ridiculous is a substantive way to descrive goth fashion. Anyway, as you just commented describing goth fashion as morbid is entireley subjective so shouldn't that be removed if wikipedia isn't a place for personal opinion? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.72.147.237 (talk) 23:10, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
Just for curiosity, you said that fan mods are not listed? Why? The article is about the Mechwarrior series and games in that series, and Mechwarrior Living Legends is a game in that series. --Rockstone35 (talk) 00:15, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
I readded it back in, but honestly, I think the game is notable. It may be a fan creation, but it is a mechwarrior game that is official (sanctioned by Microsoft). If you need me to, I can give more references to the games notability. --Rockstone35 (talk) 12:40, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
I really think that it is fair that the criticism section should actually quote the references rather than negate them. I changed the first sentence according to your suggestion, the rest is merely a collection of fairly characteristic quotes from the references already given in your edit. Sardath (talk) 09:17, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
The dispute in question is in regards to the Wild ARMs series of video games. Two users changed the title in every instance it appears to "Wild Arms", and whenever someone dares to challenge this, they accuse that person of being a sockpuppet of someone. I've read various user talk pages, and it does seem that the main instigator, Erigu, wins by targeting people who revive the dispute in some way-such as bringing it up again or joining a discussion to provide a fresh opinion. He will then instigate said persons, doing stuff such as quoting their posts and making snide comments, until they finally defend themselves. Erigu will then insist to one of his admin friends that this is proof of sockpuppetry, along with a few other lame points, then get the user banned. They will then "officially" call an end to all discussion. This was the theory on the talk page of their most recent victim, and after reading the Wild ARMs series talk page, I can definitely see where one would get that idea. But the main way to put a stop to this person and their page-owning, would be to finally solve the title dispute.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Video_games#.22ARMs.22_VS_.22Arms.22
As you can see, the consensus supports "Wild ARMs". The Wikipedia guidelines states that titles shouldn't honor unique capitalization, EXCEPT when it comes to acronyms, which is what "ARMs" is. You can read the discussion and see for yourself. Though everyone seemed to be in agreement, all progress was halted when a well-meaning user posted on the Wild ARMs series talk page to get an opinion, which alerted that user-Erigu. That is why I requested you not do that. I'm sure that, once that user becomes aware of this, I will be accused of being a sockpuppet. It's better for everyone if a decision he can't argue with can somehow be reached, but I'm at a loss. Getting other people's opinions won't work, due to his accusations cutting down anyone who hopes to join in any discussion, and you can't be sure just whose opinion you are getting. Besides, the general opinion gathered through the discussion in that link above was that the title should be changed back to "Wild ARMs". But no one can change it, because that user will just change it back, unless someone can point to something and say why it can't be changed back. Sorry for the lengthy post.

Hey, we are experimenting with putting new AfC submissions into subpages of WT:Articles for creation rather than WT:Articles for creation/Submissions.

Thanks for the message. I have read the policy for personal contributions. However I am trying to put an external link and that can only be in the form of a personal essay. BTW this essay was a published as a full scale article in a leading English Newspaper of India and has been discussed in some forums on sustainable living. There is a link in the essay to that effect. Isn't the purpose of wikipedia to enrich the knowledge. This article gives a good estimate of the energy consumption of a person which came after 2 years data taking.
My statement regarding Themfromspace was exactly this that not knowing and understanding the basis of the article and continously deleting it on trivial issues of technicality was not proper and good.
I will appreciate if you follow the links in the article then you will find more information on sustainability and simple living.

CAN NOT for the life of me figure out what happened to many of my changes. I mean "indulged in postgraduate studies" is not only awkward English but not as specific as complete his PHD etc.
THIS IS NOT my thing at all. But my mother was very upset about it, as you can imagine. Implying that he was a Fashist sympathizer, when in fact it was his mission to keep Spain neutral. I'll hunt for the proper citation.
Here's what I did, but much of it wasn't SAVED. For example: As you can see he published far more books than were listed etc.
Can this be pasted in the way it is.

Carlton Joseph Huntley Hayes, Ph.D. (1882-1964) was an American educator and historian, born at Afton, New York.
He graduated from Columbia University in 1904, completed his PHD from Columbia in 1909, became a lecturer at Columbia in European history (1907), assistant professor (1910), associate professor (1915), and full professor (1919). He was head of the History department there several times, developed the theory of Nationalism and was known as the Father of Nationalism, inspiring many students to research in this field.
He held the Seth Low chair of history at Columbia from 1935 until his retirement in 1950.
In 1903 Carlton Hayes became an active member of his fraternity Alpha Chi Rho and remained a member over his lifetime.
In 1904 he converted to Catholicism -- and went on to be the first Catholic co-chairman of the Nationalism Conference of Christians and Jews along with Everett Clinchy, and Roger Strauss
During World War I he served as captain of the United States Military Intelligence Division of the General Staff in 1918-1919.
Nine years later, under the direction of General Connor, the head of the War Department, he was asked to serve on an advisory committee of historians to organize documents pertaining to the American participation in the fighting in France. This earned him the title of Major.
After the First World War, Carlton Hayes joined with Peter Guilday in establishing the American Catholic Historical Association and became its first secretary. In the 30’s he was a member of the Catholic Association for International Peace. He became president of the American Historical Association when his turn came up in 1945 and was head the New York State Historical Association in Cooperstown.

He was buried from the church he founded in Afton, NY, St. Agnes, and laid to rest at Glenwood Cemetery in Afton, NY. He was survived by his wife of 44 years, Evelyn Carroll originally from Oswego NY and by his daughter, Mary Elizabeth Tucker and his son, Carroll J.Hayes.

You replied with this message after I stated my plea to allow my addition of the Save the Tub Campaign to remain on the Kyle XY Wikipedia Page:
"Wikipedia is not America, and you have no freedom of speech here. Wikipedia is not a soapbox for you or anyone else to complain that a show is off the air, or to advertise your fan-based campaign. If the campaign has not received significant coverage in reliable sources, it will continue to be removed from Wikipedia. If you disagree, take it to the talk page or dispute resolution. Someguy1221 (talk) 07:14, 22 March 2009 (UTC)"
The following links will prove to you that the campaign does exist, and there has been significant coverage on the issue from online sources. The first two are about.com articles that mention the campaign. The third one is a blog that accepts comments. The fourth is an article with a link to a petition. The fifth and sixth sites are the main campaign sites with many links to comments, articles, support ideas, etc., and the eighth is another petition.

These sites clearly show by their multitude and nature that there has been significant coverage of the campaign. All of my previous posts have been unbiased and strictly factual. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.188.171.220 (talk) 19:01, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

In trying to clean up vandalism, you appear to have accidentally reverted to a bad revision here. I've fixed it. Kingdon (talk) 12:27, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
Hi Some Guy,
Sorry to bother you again. I can't seem to change Carlton Hayes to Carlton J.H. Hayes at the top. Any way to do that.
Found the citation you wanted -- it TOO is in the Columbia Encyclopedia.

Hello, I just wanted to know your putting this article on hold. It seems this is pretty applicable for a decline, seeing as there aren't any sources, and there's really no assertion of notability, or evidence of notability. FingersOnRoids 23:57, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
Dear Someguy1221 I am the chair of the board of ETEN - European TEacher Education Network, as you can see thriugh this link http://www.eten-online.org .

We are a company and we want to know how we could get ourselves on WikipediaMassivemedia (talk) 22:20, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
Thank you - I didn't realize there was a difference between flagged and speedy deletion. I have added a bunch of references and continue to add to the page. Though I had previous such entries as well as links from other pages - someone removed those, thereby causing me to get a warning that I didn't have links to the page! Kind of crazy. How can I add links to the entry, if someone keeps going behind me and deleting them? They are valid links.
Specifically, this documentary was added to the Documentaries and Literature section of the Same Sex Marriage page as it is entirely legitimate next to the others listed. But for some reason, the link has been removed. This film entry could not be more appropriate for the Same Sex Marriage entry. It is confusing and frustrating do be doing the work over and over again, with no valid reason for removal in the first place.
I appreciate your explanation very much on the hangon tag. I was just panicked that all my work would disappear without just cause. Millies (talk) 23:00, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
You posted a message about a revision I made to Gabriel Weston's entry claiming that saying her book had been critically acclaimed is non-neutral. This is not correct - it is a statement of fact and it is a necessary statement of fact to establish the notability of the article about her - because if her book had been critically panned, it wouldn't be worth writing about her would it? Given that she is a new author, it is necessary to establish that her debut novel was critically acclaimed which it was.
Regarding your response - point taken about notability. But you are wrong to say that my claim of wide acclaim for the work is a matter of personal opinion: it's not. If a book receives universally good reviews in national newspapers, it's fair to record that it received wide critical acclaim isn't it? How else are Wikipedia articles supposed to report the critical success or otherwise of artistic works. There is nothing in Wikipedia guidelines to suggest that one should not record critical acclaim of a work when that is the factual case, and there must be numerous legitimate Wiki articles about a range of subjects, from music to art, that record critical success or critical failure. It is perfectly good practice to indicate that a surgeon who then became a successful author did so because her first book was an critical success. That is not personal opinion, it's a matter of public record. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.112.225.76 (talk) 00:38, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Just wanted to understand what notability means in simple english? There are a lot of articles on companies and people in wikipedia.

Hello, I received a message that my entry on InNOVAcorp was advertising and it was deleted. See note below. This was not intentional.
We (I am the president and CEO of InNOVAcorp dmacdonald@innovacorp.ca) learned that there was a Wikipedia entry on "Crown Corporations" which included InNOVAcorp. Rather than leave it empty I entered our basic corporate factual information.
While I am more than open to entering Wiki data properly, I would like to ensure that any information entered is factual.
Please let me know how to best proceed.

I created a article on a band and it was marked for speedy deletion but the band The "Fall of Envy" has notability Proof is Recently, Fall of envy was named the official band of the XFC (Xtreme Fighting Championship). Their track, “For You,” was chosen to be the theme song for the XFC’s nationally televised MMA series, scheduled to premiere in the spring of 2009, with exposure to roughly 80,000,000 TV viewers. They have also played in main events such as House of Blues. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zondasc12 (talk • contribs) 11:49, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
Hi, I cannot understand why you would delete this page with out allowing me to reply to your comments. Can you please undelete this page and allow us time to address any problems you have with it?
As for copyright, I understand you 'cannot take my word for it', however, I have emailed my permission, and I would be able to put a licence on www.sanford.coop if it is needed. You can clearly see from the supposed infringing material (a few paragraphs of the 'about us' section of a small, non-profit making social housing project) that it is unlikely that the copyright holder would take immediate action if it turned out that an infringement had indeed taken place.
As for notability, again, perhaps you could have just left a note, at least for the first 24 hours, which would have given us time to put some references in. We have had articles published about it many times in the local press, as well as in the national press, government and sites such as
Sustainability award for Sanford Housing Co-operative http://www.cooperatives-uk.coop/live/cme2560.htm
South London Street Goes Green http://www.london21.org/page/83/show/186
http://www.diggersanddreamers.org.uk/index.php?fld=initial&val=S&one=dat&two=det&sel=sanford
etc
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe the comment which I put on the discussion page was wrong, maybe a page shouldn't exist about this place on wikipedia, about one of the few places in the whole of the UK, and London's oldest purpose built housing co-op, which is pioneering low carbon technology, which has won awards for this and for which there's loads of other interesting and useful information.
Or maybe we were just supposed to immediately create the fully finished page, with out using any previous work in case the copyright police attacked.
I'm sorry if I'm starting to ramble like a internet-nutter, but your actions just seem a bit unreasonable.
Maybe you can tell me where I went wrong so I don't fuck up again?

If it's not too much trouble, that really would be fantastic. But if a quick skim of the article(s) doesn't help with the dates when he started or left Oxford, don't bother scanning. I'm trying to plug as many missing dates as possible at List of alumni of Jesus College, Oxford: Mathematics, medicine and science, hence my request.

hey, you deleted my javaBeats.FM wiki. How is it any different from other internet radio station wikis? I really want to create one for the site so please let me know what I need to change about it so you wont delete it again! thanks.
I'm not a seasoned Wikipedia contributor, but as the founder of the Blind Pig, did do some necessary editing to the Blind Pig article over the weekend. This led me to attempt to create an article for my company, Coffee Express. I have a history that is certainly noteworthy in coffee, both locally and nationally. I attempted to spell that out in the article, but I'm probably not using a proper template or format, as it was deleted for blatant advertising. I protest. Perhaps you wouldn't mind advising me. Thanks.

Hi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_News_Network - this page has been deleted recently which was created by me. I had placed the tag ((hangon)) on my page itself. Please guide me
I'd like to continue work on the article that was deleted. I can build upon it in my user space so that it can be reviewed. I will work on sources, as there are some. Here are some tips by another user:
You can go to the deleting admin's talk page and ask for a copy, or you can go to WP:AN and ask there for a copy of your deleted article to be restored in your userspace. Make sure you name exactly what article you want restored to save the admins some confusion. As I said, if I could I would restore it for you to work on, but I am just a normal editor and not an admin. Good luck. The Seeker 4 Talk 12:23, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
Can you restore the article, as written so far, to my userspace? Thanks.

RE: 86.174.25.64. Please don't be fooled by his edit summaries. The source I provoded on Phil Gartside is pretty clear that he is irish. All Bolton fans know the club are nicknamed the Trotters. Lots of Bolton fans consider the club to be a Lancashire club, hence his removal of Greater Manchester from the article. Bolton Wanderers are based in the Borough of Bolton, which is in Greater Manchester. This is no content dispute, 86.174.25.64 is clearly a misinformation troll/vandal.

'why did you delete the kviar article? because it was deleted last YEAR? that means that if an article is deleted some day in the past it will NEVER be allowed again? :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Galonga (talk • contribs) 01:51, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

well, if the article should not exist "in the given form" then there must be a proper "form" for it right? what is the consensus amongst the 7 editors then to put this in that proper form? :) Galonga (talk) 02:07, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
I thought the article had enough quality links? Also, the form resembles a lot other articles such as amazon etc. but hey thanks for the advice I´ll do that and post here once I´m done :) Galonga (talk) 02:15, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
Nice to meet you. I noticed that you deleted my Wikipedia Bio. I currently host a National Television Program called "La Tijera" which airs every day in all the United States from 6 to 7pm, so I believe that qualifies me to have a Wikipedia entry. I am attaching a link for some interviews I've done, but you if you google my name then you'll be able to see various Television appearances and commercials: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRpzlQVdyKI I would appreciate it very much if you could re-instate my entry, or if you could explain to me how to do so. I am relatively new to this medium but I am well aware of its importance. My website is www.AugustoValverde.com and if you "youtube.com" me you'll see over 14 commercials I've done for brands such as Domino's Pizza, South West Airlines etc. Thank you!
