Nomination of Pirate Party of Oklahoma for deletion

The article Pirate Party of Oklahoma is being discussed concerning whether it is suitable for inclusion as an article according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted. I am notifying you because you commented at the article's talk page.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pirate Party of Oklahoma until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. --MelanieN (talk) 17:22, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest

Hello, Teamcoltra. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Travis McCrea, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. --Drm310 (talk) 15:21, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Followup

Hi. In response to your questions on my talk page, I placed the COI notice here myself. There are a few reasons I did so:

Your username (TeamColtra) implies that several people access your account, which is not permitted under Wikipedia's username policy. You should consider changing your username to avoid this impression.
Because you are the subject of the article, editing it yourself is inherently problematic because of the perception of personal bias. I would recommend you restrict your edits to the article talk page, where you can suggest additions or changes that other editors can then make on your behalf.
While I believe that your edits were in good faith, most of the citations you entered were links to primary and self-published sources, which are not considered reliable, especially in biographies of living persons.

A lack of reliable, third-party sources will often call a subject's notability into question. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to the policy for articles about living people, then this article can be improved. If not, however, I would respectfully suggest that it be deleted. I hope this has clarified my concerns. Thanks. --Drm310 (talk) 18:36, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Status buttons

I noticed that you created the pages Template:User Status Dot ON and Template:User Status Dot OFF, but these seem to be otherwise unused, and Template:Statustop does a similar job. Would it be OK by you for me to delete those two? – Fayenatic London 13:26, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. You may want to put Statustop on your user page now. – Fayenatic London 08:22, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Notification of automated file description generation

Your upload of File:Aleknagik lake.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!
