Have added the following three times to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_presidential_election,_2011 and three times it has been removed. I am an official candidate, and this is a public announcement for the global readership of Wikipedia.

Confirmed candidates as of May 22, 2011

 * Richard Mc Sweeney of the Republic of Ireland officially announced his candidacy for the October 2011 Irish Presidential Election on the 13th May 2011. He is running as an independent under the banner: "Richard of Éire - a wise leader for the World; a dream president for Ireland. (Culturedperson (talk) 06:00, 22 May 2011 (UTC))

Sorry, Wikipedia is not the place to make public annnouncements. See: WP:SOAPBOX "Wikipedia is not a soapbox, a battleground, or a vehicle for propaganda, advertising and showcasing." Also you should be familiar with the conflict of interest guidelines (you shouldn't be writing aboout yourself, basically), and on reliable sources. If you do, eventually, become an "official candidate" = nominated, or start holding meeting with local authorities and Oireachtas members looking for a nomination, it will be reported in RTÉ, Irish Times, Irish Independent etcetera... When that happens editors will surely add your candidacy to the appropriate articles. Lozleader (talk) 15:06, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Pietro Parolin. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Elizium23 (talk) 15:03, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
