Tagging
[edit]The article was actually tagged by another editor. (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Peter_Allen_Golden&action=historysubmit&diff=412599450&oldid=412598171) SmackBot does not generally add tags, merely dating those that are already there, for work-flow purposes. Looks like you have fixed the article up anyway, well done. Rich Farmbrough, 20:59, 9 February 2011 (UTC).
Full Disclosure:
[edit]The subject of this entry is my client, whose literary contributions to journalism, history and interactive fiction are worthy of a Wikipedia entry in my opinion. I have read the Wikipedia: Conflict of Interest entry and the Wikipedia:Neutral point of view entry. I believe I have submitted an entry written from a neutral point of view that represents fairly, proportionately, and as far as possible without bias, all significant views that have been published by reliable sources on the subject.
- Thank you for the disclosure. I have previously done similar work. I would suggest that you also edit other parts of Wikipedia besides just your clients, in order to prove that you are not simply here for business (it is very much frowned upon my the community and you may be discriminated against, though if more people with conflicts of interest wrote NPOV like you have done on that article, I think it would be less of a problem). If you need any help or have any questions, feel free to contact me, Sadads (talk) 15:03, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
Disambiguation
[edit]I created a wikipedia entry for an author named Peter (Allen) Golden.
Although Peter Allen Golden writes under the byline "Peter Golden" and that is the name he is known best for, I used his middle name in the page title because someone already used the page address title http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Golden for a man named Peter Benjamin Golden.
There is also a redirect set for "Peter Golden" that goes directly to Peter Benjamin Golden when you type the name "Peter Golden" into a Wikipedia search. That makes it very hard to find the page for Peter Allen Golden if someone is searching for it.
Can I request to change that redirect to a Disambiguation page? How do I handle this situation? DuncanCrary (talk) 02:09, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
