Eric Ross
I've deleted your new article Eric Ross as being obviously promotional: it made great claims for Ross but failed to back them up.

If you wish, I can recreate the article for you within your own "userspace". You can then work on the article until it's no longer promotional, and resubmit it. -- Hoary (talk) 05:25, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

I don't see how my page was any different than Andi Gladwin's and/or Joshua Jay's Page (both magicians). Please help me understand what I am missing. Glygn22 (talk) 16:21, 3 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank you for drawing my attention to those articles. Both were atrocious when you saw them. I'd like to think that they are less atrocious, now that I'd done some work on them. But yes, they're both very bad.


 * Wikipedia is very large indeed. Despite the best efforts of many editors, a non-negligible percentage of it is bad. This percentage should be reduced.


 * As for Ross:


 * Eric is world renowned [Evidence?] for his "out of the box" and at often "explicit" ideas and performances. Eric is revered as one of the greatest minds of magic today [Evidence?] and he is known across the world [Evidence?] for his publications, creativity, and contributions to and for the magic community.


 * The offer ("I can recreate...") I made in my previous message is still open. -- Hoary (talk) 01:44, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
