Drmies (talk) 17:17, 5 October 2011 (UTC) heya, sorry, i guess i'm not sure what exactly i'm doing wrong? I host an event called the boss brawl, and I wanted to explain what it was and show results of fights. I dont think its promotional as much as it is iinformative for the alberta boxing community. coaches and gyms, I have new articles referencing the events and so forth. Anyway, if this is ont what i'm supposed to be doing, thats fine, i just find this site pretty cool and wanted to be a part of it. NO hard, no foul, but maybe you can explain a little more why i can't write about my events? i see that big companies like the UFC have page on their events, is there something i'm missing .. thx a ton

 * Well, Wikipedia is not a bulletin board for events. Content has to be encyclopedic. If you wrote this up as an article (i.e., not in user space) it would be deleted as not notable (see WP:N), and those same rules apply to user space as well--in this case WP:FAKEARTICLE applies: it looks like an article in some ways but it isn't. Your name, and your words above, suggest a serious conflict of interest, and the content of your user space makes it clear that you are here to promote these events. Sorry, but that's not what Wikipedia is for. I'll ask other editors to look into the matter to see if they agree. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 05:07, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

I guess i'm not sure how to make it more "encyclopedic" i can change my wording maybe? I'm not here to promote the event as I'm more interested in showing the history of past events and adding more as they happen. Its a great place for me to keep track of the fights and the fighters and a great place for me to keep a library of information for other gyms and coaches to refer to when remembering bouts and who won and who loss. I do have a website, so I guess I could in theory just post all my stuff there, but this site make me feel like my event is worth recognition, also this site just seems to be hosting a lot of the same stuff that I"m trying to accomplish, so i don't see why i wouldn't be able to be a part of it, but yes please, get a couple other opinions and hopefully I can re-word/re-phrase or just change my tactics to make it more encyclopedic,  but also, please give me an example of what i did wrong so i can avoid doing it in my touch ups? thx again for your patience.
