Before removing items from disambiguation pages it is best to click on those redlink and then click on "what links here" to see if other articles reference the same article. Per the ] red linked articles are approbriate for disambiguation pages. Also per ], red links are OK. They should only be removed for topics that will never have articles, not ones that just don't yet. In fact red links can be helpful so multiple articles about the same person are not written since a uniform nameing convention has been adopted and hopefully an editor will find the red link instead of making one up, I know I've seen it several times doing assessment work. This is the entire reason the disambiguation page was created for Courtney, about four different Courtney's were referenced to the single Peter Courtney page, so those who were not the US politician were changed and the disambiguation page created. I hope that helps. ] 20:33, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Great job!

Regarding edits to your userpage

Hi. You may remember me with the fatal flaws over at my pages. You see, at first, I was trying that blue floating thing you had on your userpage, so I tried it, got a message telling me to take it down before someone getting me in trouble because, what the blue thing is annoying (although it does help in some way) that can get you in trouble in some way. Talk to User:GlassCobra. --Goodshoped35110s 03:21, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes, you're right, there's no policy against it. I was wrong to say that Goodshoped could get in trouble; however, those boxes are definitely pretty disruptive and make reading your page kind of tough. Yours isn't quite as audacious as his was, though. So, you're right, I guess nothing will really come from it, but maybe you could take yours down anyway as a courtesy to those who view your page. Also, could you perhaps be a bit more civil on my talk page from now on? GlassCobra 13:07, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

How Can I Avoid Conflict of Interest?

I am new to Misplaced Pages, and just need some direction as to how I can avoid any conflict of interest. You are listed in the Help section as someone to contact, so I hope that this is the right place to be! :)

I want to provide some information about the company I am with, which has had it's entire domain blacklisted for abuse by one of our members. I respect the policies and just want to find out what my options are for providing more information, or to find out if there actually are any options. It looks like the decision (found here) to blacklist our domain was made based on one member, while our author community actually consists of over 70,000 authors.

I am not sure if there any process for this, thus my request for help. From what I have researched and have read on the policies, I do know that there is a conflict of interest for appealing this on behalf of EzineArticles, but I would like help in determining any avenue that might help the authors that DO provide informative and factual content the option for their published works to be available.

Unlike the majority of other online author communities, we have a staff of Associate Editors that hand approve every article, as well as a team of Quality Control Specialists providing a "second set of eyes" to each article that is approved. We do understand that there are authors who are going to try and take advantage of the system, who will use their articles for spamming, or other unethical practices. However, we work hard to monitor this. We have a ZERO tolerance for members of our site that spam Misplaced Pages or any other website or service, and will investigate, terminate, and ban any member who abuses our Terms of Service.

If you have any insight for me as to how I might be able to address this without violating any policies or guidelines I would greatly appreciate it!

The other question that I have is about setting up my talk page in order to provide transparency. My contributions are not isolated to the above question, so I want to be sure to point out the connections to my company so that there is never any misunderstanding or question of intent. Again, ANY help you can provide, or direction on where to look for more information on all of this would be greatly appreciated!

Hey!

Hey Dreamafter, how are you doing? I see you've been pretty busy. You've even begun adopting other new Wikipedians. That's great! Since you seem doing lots of wikignome-like edits, I invite you to participate in Misplaced Pages:Gnome Week starting next Monday (Oct. 21). I'll see you around. Ciao.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Personal copyright UserDreamafter.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Personal copyright UserDreamafter.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 15:29, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
