Need Help
To whom it may concern,

I've tried a few times to post an article about Harris Media LLC and have been struck down every time. I understand the administrator's thoughts on why the article is a possible promotional attempt and I also understand why administrators don't see the relevance. However, Harris Media LLC. is a very renowned digital media firm owned and operated by a very well known person named Vincent R. Harris. Both deserve to have their own articles on Wikipedia, I just can't seem to write the articles to standard. I've read the rules on posting articles and have also been successful in posting relevant articles, but for some reason I can't get it right with these 2. I was wondering if you could offer some insight. Your thoughts?LibandJustice (talk) 17:56, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I will direct the administrators who deleted the articles to this talk page, so they may contribute to the discussion if they so choose. Just a few thoughts beforehand:
 * You may choose to, if you wish, create and edit articles out of the "mainspace", as long as you transfer a quality article to the "mainspace" within a reasonable time frame. This is usually done through userpage subpages.
 * Or, you might just want to take a break from article writing, and do something else on Wikipedia. You can look at the community portal, which has various links to various places on Wikipedia you can focus your energy on.
 * Either way, I suggest you get a mentor. I dream of horses (T) @ 02:39, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Liband, "every time" indeed! I make it just twice. There is absolutely no point in using peacock terms such as "renowned" and "very well known". The only things that move wikiplatypodes and similar creatures are sound references to reliable sources. Despite the AfD discussion you made no real attempt to provide references. If you come to me for mentoring, I will say: I get a very strong whiff of COI. On these two topics, please wait until someone with no COI comes along and writes about them. &mdash; RHaworth 08:48, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I'll be happy to help collaborate on an article, if LibandJustice wishes so and can provide some independent sources of information. Deryck C. 15:52, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I very much appreciate that Deryck and I will look for some more credible references to use in my creation of this page before approaching you with ideas. RHaworth, your senses need altering.  Sorry to burst your whiff sniff, but I'm heavily involved in the political realm and these 2 topics have relevance to what I care about as a strategist.  I firmly believe that these two topics belong in an encyclopedia for their relevance to the revolution of political campaigning and I aim to provide that information if I can submit it correctly.LibandJustice (talk) 22:20, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
 * LibandJustice, the page on peacock terms may prove useful before rewriting your article.
 * No need to come to me. I don't own anything on Wikipedia. I dream of horses (T) @ 22:41, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

Ryan loves sam more
If I were you I would've called it a blatant hoax. First off, it is true, where vandalism has a very specific meaning, and second, it would be rather humourous if Ryan and Sam both saw that page with the db-hoax still on it. -- Σ  talk  contribs  04:10, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I suppose you have a point. I'll honestly think about this. I dream of horses (T) @ 17:08, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

Barnstar thanks
Thank you for the barnstar! It's funny ... as with all barnstars, I wasn't really trying. My intent with that comment wasn't as much to make people laugh as to call out a certain mentality I thought was evident in Jayen's previous post that I find all too prevalent at UAA, in a way that would resonate. Daniel Case (talk) 15:05, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I enjoy giving out barnstars! :-) I dream of horses (T) @ 17:08, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

You should come hang out with us on the internetz!
Hi! I wanted to let you know that we have created an IRC channel for "countering systemic bias one new editor at a time", aka closing the gender gap! Come hang out at #wikimedia-gendergap if that subject interests you. We hope this channel can serve as a safe haven to hang out, talk about Wiki, brainstorming, increasing women's participation in Wikimedia, article alerts and foster friendships. I hope you join us! (And if you need any IRC help, just let me know!) See you there! SarahStierch (talk) 22:37, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
 * for telling me! I dream of horses (T) @ 22:52, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

why cant you take a joke its just for fun
 * Wikipedia isn't a place for "fun", but for research. I can, in the right context, take a joke--this isn't the right context. I dream of horses (T) @ 02:13, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
