Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself. Please use the template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion.

If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest this block by adding the text below.

Note to reviewing admin; I confirm that I have been in correspondence with the above editor, that I have explained (briefly) the ethos behind WP:COI and WP:V/RS, and that their responses do indicate an understanding of the principles of NPOV editing. I suggest that it is worth allowing the editor the chance to prove they can contribute usefully and within WP's policies and guidelines. LessHeard vanU (talk) 21:19, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * We might give this editor a third chance, but I can't work up much enthusiasm. The deleted article Macks prairie wings, was truly, truly disappointing. Besides being written like advertising, it was folksy, boring and trite and had no sources. Though the business has been successful, the article gave no hint as to how that occurred. This editor was already been unblocked once and then went right back to the same behavior. How about letting him create a draft of the revised article here on this Talk page, and see how it turns out? If the article is policy compliant, he might be unblocked.

 * See what Cmstrand1988 says... LessHeard vanU (talk) 22:01, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't think allowing the editor a third chance in order to attempt again to create a self-posted article about a business is a good idea. I share your hope that the user can learn, but I would never endorse posting an article on a business that had been wholly written by a user under a conflict.  If an article should exist, Cmstrand1988 should simply request that someone else create one and offer sources that can be used to help.  Cmstrand -- do you have any interest in other editing?

Cmstrand1988, if you are unblocked, I would suggest that you create your article in your userspace, i.e. User:Cmstrand1988/Mack's Prairie Wings, and ask for outside review before trying to move it to its own article. — Travis talk  01:54, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

I've unblocked you, but take TravisTX' suggestion please. Good luck, Deacon of Pndapetzim ( Talk ) 13:52, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Cody, I am willing to mentor you and help you in writing the article in your space and giving you any advice you need - but please ask for help at every opportunity, and even if you are certain that you have things right just ask anyway. To start writing the article, click the redlink above in TravisTX's comment and start editing the page. I have it watchlisted, and will drop over as soon as I see any input.
