From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Your work on this article is an obvious attempt to circumvent Wikipedia policies against self-promotion. This is seen as an act of bad faith, and can quickly lead to actions by admins that may include being blocked from editing. Chapin's article should be deleted for two reasons: 1) she does not meet our notability standards, and 2) she is obviously engaged in self-promotion, which is strictly prohibited. Your comment of "I hope this satisfies your concerns and that this issue can be closed so that we can move on to more urgent matters. Please remove the warning box from the article" comes across as rather condescending as well. This article will be deleted. Please do not continue spamming Wikipedia. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 04:09, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That is a malicious comment and entirely untrue. The use of the word "obviously" implies malintent, as does this user also state clearly. Again, assumption that comment was condescending. As for removal of page goes, this user would like to point out quite clearly and plainly that wikipedia favors semi-celebrities in its pages over someone with scholarly contributions to show for her life's work. You should ask before making assumptions.

Your rant

[edit]

Well! Haven't we worked ourselves into a little hissy fit? Here's the deal: You are promoting your wife, which in Wikipedia's eyes is no different than self-promotion. Any' promotion of anything by anyone is prohibited. Period. Posting an article about your wife is inherently considered to be promotion, as well as a conflict of interest. You were seeking to gain publicity for your wife's work, no matter how noble that work might be. Wikipedia is not the place for that. If your wife is notable enough for her own article, someone else not connected with her will eventually write an article about her.

As for Jen Chapin, I frankly don't think she is terribly notable, either, and so do some other editors, as her article was subject to an article for deletion discussion. The result of that was an appeal through the deletion review process, a relatively rare procedure, in which it was determined that Jen Chapin had been the subject of coverage by quite a few independent, reliable sources and was therefore notable enough for an article. That does not appear to be the case for your wife, and she doesn't deserve an article just for the purpose of differentiating her from Jen Chapin, either.

So you basically want all traces of your existence on Wikipedia wiped out? Well, the history of all comments and revisions on Wikipedia are maintained in perpetuity so as to maintain audit trails and such, so your request is impossible to fulfill. But you are free to just leave, which considering your opinion of Wikipedia policies, is probably the best course of action. Don't let the screen door hit you in the rear end on your way out. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 18:40, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
