RE: links, edit conflicts
I'm not seeing any Wikilinks pointing to the Mobile Disc Jockey Advocate article that would have been "redlinks" before you created it. Even if there were redlinks to it, however, redlinks alone, do not indicate whether or not an article should exist. It's the guidelines that do. I'll leave a welcome message below with some links that include article guidelines.

Regarding the disappearing edits, either an "edit conflict" or a Wikipedia glitch likely occurred. An edit conflict occurs when someone starts editing an article, but someone else edits it and saves it before the first person hits save. When this happens you'll see a message about it, and you'll be prompted to re-insert your edits. I've found that if you hit the "back" button on your web browser, you'll see the text that you added again, which you can highlight and copy, click edit again, then re-add your text. If it was a glitch, you'll usually receive some sort of error message to that effect. Usually you can also do the same back - copy-paste trick for that as well.

Below is the welcome message I mentioned:


 * Okay I understand now. We should really simply examine the article independently of any links to them (past or current). If the article Mobile Disc Jockey Advocate can be properly sourced (cited) using information from what Wikipedia considers reliable sources, then the article would then likely meet Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion (most importantly, verifiability). If not, then the Articles for Deletion discussion will conclude with the result of "delete", with no harm done. Regardless of the outcome, you're of course welcome (and encouraged) to stay and contribute to other articles.
 * I don't think a telephone conversation would be necessary, however I am available for chat on IRC if you would like - just let me know. --AbsolutDan (talk) 18:26, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I have deleted the MDJA article following the discussion at Articles for deletion/Mobile Disc Jockey Advocate. If sources show up for this stuff, then, sure, there can be an article about it; we can always recreate one.  But if the only Ghits for a term are contained inside Wikipedia, then it's pretty clear that it is not a widely-used industry term. --- Deville (Talk) 03:24, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Discjockeynewslogo.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:Discjockeynewslogo.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.
