re: Bruce Silverstein Gallery change to E.O. Hoppé page
The Silverstein Gallery, as well as three other galleries, sell Hoppé prints, and all are listed in the "Galleries" section. This does not warrant that one or all of them should be mentioned in the introduction paragraph or anywhere in the main body text about Hoppé. Please discuss this before re-adding any further links or mentions to the Silverstein Gallery (which has been flagged for deletion). I will leave the external link for now but am concerned that it might be flagged, as it links to a commercial site. Jeremybigalke (talk) 18:16, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Bruce Silverstein Gallery change to E.O. Hoppé page
The Estate of E.O. Hoppé is not represented by the Silverstein Gallery. The Gallery is a seller of Hoppé prints. Will undo 06 November change. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeremybigalke (talk • contribs) 17:21, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Bruce Silverstein Gallery
A tag has been placed on Bruce Silverstein Gallery, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Rwiggum (Talk /Contrib ) 01:56, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

I am contesting the deletion of this wiki

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Marvin E. Newman, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.silversteinphotography.com/documents.php?id=152. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 18:32, 23 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi. We can't use sentences or significant phrases from copyrighted sources. I've reworded Marvin E. Newman so it doesn't follow the source as closely. ☺ Coppertwig (talk) 16:40, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

 * The article still needs quite a bit of work, and certainly a much more expansive biography. But I'm surprised we didn't have an article already. (His Non-Adhesive Binding books saved me on multiple occasions). France 3470   ( talk ) 16:11, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
