Speedy deletion nomination of Closet Logic (Minnesota)
A tag has been placed on Closet Logic (Minnesota), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Your edit at Water fluoridation
Hi Fluoride Free, I've reverted this edit. Please don't make changes within reliably sourced sentences that change the sense of the sentence, as it gives our readers the impression that the supplied source supports your new wording. Your username suggests that you may have a strong WP:POV on this topic, so I'd advise extreme caution in your edits. Changes such as the one you made are best discussed on the article talk page first, where you can possibly get consensus to make them. Fluoridation is a hot topic, so you're really better off reviewing the talk page and archives and participating there first. Regards! Franamax (talk) 01:09, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Open Letter to Wikipedia:

I first became a member of Wiki with the best intentions of editing my home city's page (the picture shown on Wiki no longer exists due to some major construction projects). I had the authority (and blessing) from city leaders to change the picture so I went through a lot of work establishing some familiarity with wikipedia in order to make the change.

Apparently, I did not do it correctly since the picture was deleted after less than 1 week. Zero for 1.

I then tried to make some minor revisions on other pages. Most of them were reverted, deleted, or flagged for one reason or another. Zero for 2.

Lastly, I tried to create a page for my business that- with the advice of several marketing books- draws more traffic to the web site. Seeing that other businesses had done similar pages, I thought precedent was set for my page as well. Moments after spending no fewer than 5 hours working on that, one of your admins marked it for speedy deletion as well.

Folks, I am Zero for 3 with your site and I now wish to delete my account.

I no longer see Wikipedia as credible, since it appears that only a small number of appointed people dictate what goes and what doesn't for content. Unfortunately many people read your site as gospel when researching various topics (particularly controversial topics that appear to be better monitored than the US-Mexico border), yet your content is heavily biased and fails to show both sides of an issue. Water fluoridation is certainly one of those topics, and you need to revisit what is considered as a "reliable source" of information when propaganda takes priority over actual science.

In time, more people will begin to realize that your site has evolved into just another highly-censored mouthpiece for a select few gatekeepers.

I am burning this bridge, cutting ties, or whatever you want to call it, but I ask that you delete my account. I do not want to have any association with Wikipedia now or in the future. --FluorideFreeMN (talk) 15:18, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
