Article Cleanup

[edit]

I just cleaned up this article and would like to provide the reasoning for anyone interested. The information I deleted out of this article directly contradicts the Wikipedia guidelines about advertising (Please see WP:NOT#SOAPBOX). I have some of the information from that guideline posted here:

Wikipedia is not a soapbox or a vehicle for propaganda and advertising. Therefore, Wikipedia articles are not:

Propaganda or advocacy of any kind. Of course, an article can report objectively about such things, as long as an attempt is made to approach a neutral point of view. You might wish to go to Usenet or start a blog if you want to convince people of the merits of your favorite views.
Self-promotion. It can be tempting to write about yourself or projects you have a strong personal involvement in. However, do remember that the standards for encyclopedic articles apply to such pages just like any other, including the requirement to maintain a neutral point of view, which is difficult when writing about yourself. Creating overly abundant links and references to autobiographical articles is unacceptable. See Wikipedia:Autobiography, Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest.
Advertising. Articles about companies and products are acceptable if they are written in an objective and unbiased style. Furthermore, all article topics must be third-party verifiable, so articles about very small "garage" or local companies are not likely to be acceptable. External links to commercial organizations are acceptable if they can serve to identify major corporations associated with a topic (see finishing school for an example). Please note Wikipedia does not endorse any businesses and it does not set up affiliate programs. See also Wikipedia:Notability (companies and corporations) for guidelines on corporate notability.

If you are going to post things on Wikipedia please either make sure that the content is appropriate for the article or discuss the changes you wish to make on the Discussion page and get other Wikipedia contributors opinions. Eric 23:14, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bill B. Bruhy

[edit]

I started an article about Bill B. Bruhy. Bruhy served in the Wisconsin State Assembly in 1973. This would make him notable. He also served as Mayor of Plymouth, Wisconsin from 1966 until his death from cancer in 1977. Bill B. Bruhy was a real person not a cartoon character.
