Could you please read WP:COI. Thank you. --Dirk Beetstra T C 21:11, 19 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I have reinstated the tags, there are no references to WP:RS, and the question of notability stands until an established editor removes the tag. Please do not remove them again.  --Dirk Beetstra T  C 21:55, 19 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Someone else user:Eagle_101 has tagged the article for an AfD, that will have to show the notability of the article. The links have already been removed, so you don't have to worry about that (articlespace is clean of dbusinessmag dot com except for the two links in Dbusiness).  See you around.  --Dirk Beetstra T  C 22:17, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia e-mail
Thank you for your message. I take it you have read WP:COI. I want to say some things in reply to your message.

Firstly, I saw that you, in the past, added an external link to your magazine to another article. That is to me a clear form of WP:SPAM, and hence, a method of self-promotion. Also writing a page yourself on your own company is clearly a conflict of interest, and it is very hard to prove that this is not a method of self-promotion. You don't have to write the article yourself when you say you access information from past issues, that is also available for readers of the magazine. When they think that your magazine is a notable subject for the wikipedia, wikipedians will create that article.

You do not own the article. Wikipedia is based on cooperation, and articles will change/grow in time with the help of others. When you are adding content that is not available through other sources, the article is going to contain information that is not backed up by reliable sources. Please also note that there are certain things that wikipedia is not.

You are probably right when saying that there are a dozen of other magazines who shamelessly self-promoto on wikipedia, but that does not make your actions right. However, they are right in not contributing content to their own articles, again per WP:COI. Just as a note, I would be grateful if you could hand me a list of these links, it would be very helpful.

By the way, you are the main contributor to this article, if someone else puts tags on these, e.g. the notability tag, please do not remove that yourself, but let other people assess that.

Hope this explains, and again, thank you for your mail. --Dirk Beetstra T C 21:49, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
