A fine line
Thanks for your contribution to Cape Town. You don't need to sign yourself on article pages, only on discussion pages (like this one). The info you added to Cape Town was good. However, you seem to have been involved in some messing around with Cape Town 2004 Olympic bid (my apologies if I have misunderstood this).

If you are an organisation in any way involved with running or promoting Cape Town or activities in Cape Town, you will need to tread very carefully with respect to What Wikipedia is not. Many Wikipedians feel strongly about attempts to use WP for advertising, and as an official organisation your contributions would probably be subject to closer scrutiny. Messing with a deletion discussion (if this is indeed what has happened) will make other editors less likely to give you the benefit of the doubt elsewhere.

Btw, I'm not saying Cape Town 2004 Olympic bid should be deleted, although I have relisted it. What you need to do is follow the links I've added to the article and join in the discussion. This way, you will find out what, if anything, other editors object to in the article –  in this case, probably the fact that it is basically a reprint of a newspaper – and reach a solution that satisfies everyone. Failure to engage will convince other editors that you are not acting in good faith, and lead to more of your material being challenged.

If anything I've said above is unjustified, let me apologise grovellingly in advance. And your contibution to Cape Town really is a plus for that article. I hope you stay on Wikipedia and continue to add material of that calibre (all referenced and verifiable, of course). If you want to reply to any of this, I will find any messages you leave here, or here. I'm not hugely knowledgeable, but I will try to find someone who is for your queries. Alternatively, go to the resources listed above. And you'll definitely need to visit the deletion discussion. Very best wishes, JackyR 15:11, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Gpointmodel.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Gpointmodel.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.
