I noticed that you added your signature to a section of an article, Bohm Dialogue. I have removed it as we don't sign articles. Please familiarise yourself with the Wikipedia policies linked above. Thanks. Jezhotwells (talk) 01:26, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm glad we had a chance to talk at the Wiki meeting in NYC. I just entered this comment so that you will receive the "New Message" banner line whenever you next login to Wikipedia. If you click-on the "talk" after my signature, you will be directed to my user discussion page. Click-on the "new section" table at the top on the page and enter what ever you like. Remember to include ~.

I have seen the Bohn Dialog article and I agree it needs a lot of work. For example, you can't say that it "may well be one of the most effective ways of...". That's weasel words and self-promotion unless you have the documentation to prove it. You could say that "many of its participants regard it as one of the most effective ways of...". But since you only have 20 to 40 participants to start off with, that's a very small universe to base your claims on. Even if there were a thousand people who believed that it was one of the most effective ways of investigating crises, I don't know if that rises to the level of notability that we require of all Wikipedia articles.

So, it seems to me that this is your first task: explain and document why Bohn Dialog is important to a significant minority of the billion or so English speakers around the world. And by "document" I mean that you must find your proof in some published form that existed outside of Wikipedia. We are not a journal of original opinion; everything that we summarize in Wikipedia must be published outside of Wikipedia first.

Forgive me but I mean I could write an article that starts off by saying "A bunch of my friends have been having an on-going discussion about the nature and purpose of Satan and I'd like to summerize our conclusions so far." (Wikipedia gets a dozen or more articles like that a day and they're speedily deleted). So why is the Bohn Dialog any more significant than my conversation with my friends? Don't tell me -- enter your thoughts as one or two sentences in the first paragraph of the article and prove what you say by citing reliable, published sources.

Meanwhile, I have corrected some formating errors in the first paragraph of the article. If you have any other questions, please enter a new section on my user talk page. --RoyGoldsmith (talk) 14:45, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://billangelos.typepad.com/my_weblog (matching the regex rule \btypepad\.com\b). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, or similar site, then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest). If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link.

bio of living person
My person qualifies for an article, and I have 17 sources for bibliography. However, in addition to those 17 sources, some basic information was provided by him in various emails and interviews between us, and is available only there. One example among some others, a resume sent to me as an email attachment. How do I handle documenting that in the footnotes and sources? Thank you.


 * You cannot cite personal correspondence. The facts must be verifiable - the reader should be able to check them. A published book or newspaper can be obtained from libraries; a private email cannot. The facts must be published by something with a 'reputation for fact-checking and accuracy'. Sorry.
