Duplicate pages

Please don't create duplicate pages. If there is more than one logical title for your article, create the article under the most appropriate title, and then user redirect pages for the other titles. For example, at Blessing the children, I have replace the duplicate content with #REDIRECT [[Blessing the Children International]]. In this way, when a user enters the incorrect title in the search box, they will be brought to the correct article. Creating multiple articles with duplicate content makes it difficult for editors to know which article to edit. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 15:46, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Blessing the Children International

The article Blessing the Children International has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable organization. Only references are primary sources (the organization's own website) or press releases made by the organization.

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.

New references

Several of the references you have added to Blessing the Children International have helped assert the notability of your organization. However, several problems still exist with the article:

You are the organization's founder, and therefore a significant conflict of interest exists. It is recommended that you do not further edit this article, except to correct any gross factual errors which may be added later by others.
Several of the references are to the organization's own website, and as primary sources, cannot be considered RS:reliable.
Several of the references are to press releases issued by the organization, and are similarly not reliable.

I am going to edit the article to remove the unreliable references, leaving the reliable references behind. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 15:44, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest and removal of unreliable resources

I have read the conflict of interest guidelines and now clearly see the problem. I will refrain from any further edits to the Blessing the Children international article. I appreciate WikiDan61 removing unreliable references from the article and his explaining the conflict of interest. --KStrawn (talk) 17:54, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
