I note you are adding material to a number of articles that comprises references to AAC articles. In many cases these are very helpful. You have also created a page about the magazine, which is good. i have tagged that page as lacking references. What it will need, in order to establish notability, is citations from other sources (ie. references not from AAC itself) that mention AAC, talk about its circulation etc, so we know AAC is notable. I know it is a notable magazine, I'm not questioning that: it is just that WP needs cites that show this. Hope you can help. I thought I would also mention WP:COI, in case you have a conflict of interest (eg. working for AAC). Your edits all look good to me, but since you were only editing in relation to that magazine, I thought i should mention it. Welcome to Wikipedia and thanks for your contributions. hamiltonstone (talk) 05:28, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Slow down a little. You are adding links in places they really don't belong. Have a read of some of the policies and guidelines mentioned above - it will give you more of an idea of the best places to put things. For example, a link to the magazine's guide to Indigenous art centres is appropriate to add to Indigenous Australian art, but it should be in "External links" at the bottom, not in "See also" (which is only links to other WP articles). WP tries to be pretty strict in limiting the number of external links, and has some guidelines on this (see WP:ELNO), which you might also want to check out.

The article Australian Art Collector has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable magazine.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. TNXMan 11:38, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jos2010 - for your information, I added third party references and removed the 'Proposed deletion' template, so the article will not be deleted at this stage. Regards, hamiltonstone (talk) 23:24, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
