Voxxers
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that anybody can edit and it says that on the main page. I was working my way through Category:Candidates for speedy deletion when I found somebody had tagged Voxxers as a speedy delete as being empty here. It did not fit the definiton of empty and I felt that as MindVox already had an article that there was a claim to notability but it was minor in that most of the people listed had not done anything other than belonging to the BBS.

So rather than delete it I used a Proposed deletion tag here. Later I returned to the article and saw the odd formatting and the large number of links to external sites. As you know I removed all but one of the external links and tidied up the article so that it used the WIki style layout and removed the unnecessary html paragraph marks some of which were not entered correctly (<p for example). After you restored the odd formatting and the external links I once more removed them and the html formatting. This time I also added several internal links to other articles.

All of what I did is standard stuff and none of it is out of line. After I had done this I left a message at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Spam to have someon else check and see if it fit the definition of spam. There has at the time I write this been one reply, who does agree with me. If later others were to say that it was not link spam then they could be put back.

As was pointed out on Talk:Voxxers the people on the list may not fit the Wikipeida definition of notability. To my mind the only people that should be in it are Charles Platt and Fred Askew. Possibly Racheline Maltese and in the future jag101a. The others are not notable and really should not be in the list.

So to answer why I edit the page, to clean up the article and make it look as professional as possible and to lay it out in the standard WIkipedia format. You are right about the second tier and I have fixed that to what I think is a better version but someone else may not. However, please don't add back all the  marks.

Also please take the time to look through the links that I have provided on this page (plus the standard welcome message at the top). By the way when you asked on my talk page you were editing as User:72.43.160.6, who it appears has a long history of vandalism. I suugest that you log in every time to avoid being associated with that IP and to show you are not the same person as the the vandal. Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 18:17, 14 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I knew from your edits that you and the original user of the IP were not the same person. Did you read Proposed deletion, you are allowed to remove the prod tag and if you don't it will be deleted after 5 days or so without discussion. Of course someone (not me) then may decide to put it at Articles for deletion. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 23:19, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
