Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate your contributions to the Real Social Dynamics article, but we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. Perhaps you would like to rewrite the article in your own words. For more information, take a look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Happy editing! .:.Jareth.:. babelfish 18:10, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi, please don't blank out the entire Real Social Dynamics page and replace it with commercial text. Not only is that massively uncool, but it is also vandalism, and it will hurt the reputation of the seduction community-related pages on wikipedia (which may put some of them at risk for deletion, especially the RSD page). If you don't like the current RSD article, then you are welcome to make changes to it within Wikipedia's guidelines. For instance, if there are any positive reviews of RSD published in reputable secondary sources, those could be included in the article. --SecondSight 20:47, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Hey, it looks like you're having some trouble with Wikipedia. Please do not copy material directly from RSD's website and insert it into the article. It would be great to have the article expanded, but continually violating their copyright in this manner will lead to you getting blocked from editing. If there's anything I can do to help, please click this link, fill in a title and any questions you may have and sign the end of your post with ~ and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. .:.Jareth.:. babelfish 02:35, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, as you did to Real Social Dynamics, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. --SecondSight 19:50, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Oh, about your comment on Jareth's talk page, you know as well as I do that I am not affiliated with Mystery Method. I did not create the RSD page; actually, I helped save it from being speedily deleted. As for trying to "slander" RSD, that is not true: both WoodenBuddha and I have made edits to make the page sound less negative towards RSD. I believe that the criticism may sometimes be a bit unfair, because I've met people in real life who have taken RSD seminars and found it a good experience, but Wikipedia is not a place for me to voice my personal opinions on RSD. I actually think that a lot of TD's material is valuable, and I still recommend it to others despite the hit his reputation has taken. The fact that RSD got portrayed negatively in The Game, and has a lot of negative reviews, is not my fault. And honestly, once you started vandalizing the page (which I suspected was someone from your company), I was hardly motivated to make it sound more positive. What you need to realize is that Wikipedia is not advertising space for your company, or for any other company. If you check out the Microsoft page, it contains a criticism section; it isn't just an advertisement pasted from Microsoft's website. I do agree that previous versions of the RSD page were a bit harsh, but your practice of vandalism was not the solution. The page is actually quite neutral now. Can you be happy with it in this stage? If not, I will reiterate my invitation above that you provide positive reviews of RSD published in reliable secondary sources, instead of continuing to waste all of our time. Thanks. --SecondSight 20:29, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

In regards to violating copyright, please understand that in order to protect copyright holders, we do not allow any copyrighted material to be inserted into Wikipedia with having first confirming that the copyright holder clearly states they are releasing their text under the GFDL. In the email correspondence I have had with more than one staff member of RSD, I have explained how this statement should be worded and that it should be sent to permissions at wikimedia dot org. To date, we have not receieved this statement and as such, will be unable to allow the copyrighted text to remain until such time as this statement is received.

Creating an encyclopedia article about a company is not a violation of copyright law. Could you explain what you mean by your statements about RSD's copyright being violated? I'm sorry, but we simply don't delete articles this way. Articles are deleted by community consensus using our articles for deletion process. If you'd like to nominate the article to be deleted using that procedure, you are welcome to do so. Also, articles are only locked from editing when they recieve very high levels of vandalism, which is not currently the case with RSD.

As I have stated before, I would be happy to work with someone from RSD to explain Wikipedia policies and guidelines and work on writing a more complete article. Please read our key policies about neutral point of view and verifiability to get an idea about what is required for an article. Remember, we're trying to write an encylopedia article here, ad-like language isn't used and opposing viewpoints and criticisms are included. If there's anything else I can do to help, please let me know.
