User talk:MaudB

Hello MaudB,

I'm writing concerning your many edits to the Sissyfight 2000 page on June 6, 2006. While I appreciate the contributions you've made, you've also deleted quite a bit of information without explaining why. The Sissyfight entry in Wikipedia has often been in danger of being deleted in the past couple years; just a few months ago, someone placed a notice on the page demanding we state its significance as a game or website. Thus, I included its Webby Nomination and its importance among academics and game developers (which you've now removed).

Also, you've incorporated some unorthdox wiki style into the page (the one that bugs the most is the newly-hyperlinked "Game Mechanics" header, but there are many others). Many of your changes will unfortunately flag an alert with some wiki editors, and I'm afraid they may come not only to clean out a bunch of our work, but also question the page's significance again.

I will respect many of your changes, but I will also restore much of the information you deleted. Unfortunately, I don't the time to restore that information now, but I wanted to give you a heads up.

Before you make any drastic changes again, please make sure to indicate you will be doing so on the Sissyfight entry's Talk page. At least that way, we can discuss whatever changes you think will be most relevant and constructive.

Your submission at Articles for creation: UncommonGoods (March 9)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Kikichugirl was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:UncommonGoods and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also get real-time chat help from experienced editors.
