Real Journeys

Hello Mark,

There I create a perfectly good Real Journeys article, and then you go and almost have it deleted by merging the Milford Flightseeing article over my established version... tsk, tsk tsk. Oh well, at least I did not have to request an undelete. The editor calling for the speedy delete also is a little bit at fault, as he could have checked the version history.

PS: If you have questions, you are welcome to ask at my page! Just understand that you are in a WP:Conflict of interest situation, and some of your edits may come under extra scrutiny from other people because of that. Would be better if you'd worked mostly on articles that you have no commercial connection to (i.e. how about general Southland articles, places etc... instead of tourism articles that you are involved with commercially?). Happy editing. Ingolfson 00:33, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough re your comment on my page. Merges and moves are a bit weird in the Wikimedia software, as they do not count as standard edits - meaning they can end up strangely (or not at all) in the edit history, I think. They definitely don't appear on the watchlist of your articles, which is rather worriesome.

That said, adding references is always good (not to speak of necessary ;-) so your work doesn't get deleted/speedy delete requested etc... Always try to get "neutral" sources (academic sources, media sources, government sources) first - only if that fails to turn anything up should you use "commercial" sources such as links to company webpages etc... to show notability and to reference an article.
