"Retaining entries for Dobrian's opponents while deleting his probably violates campaign finance law and risks Wikipedia's 501c status." You had best retract this bit before you get blocked an admin interprets this as a legal threat and blocks you from the site. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.44.187.212 (talk • contribs) My comment clarified for the benefit of Ttonyb1 who perhaps has not seen the discussion on WP:ANI and cannot distinguish between the giving of advice and a threat that I am powerless to carry out.


 * 217.44.187.212, I see no violation of Wikipedia guidelines here. Please note that making threating comments to other editors is against Wikipedia guidelines and can get you banned for editing or creating articles.  If there is violation of Wikipedia guidelines you should report the issue to an administrator.   ttonyb  (talk) 22:33, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

With regard to the above, I would point you toward No legal threats in respect of the warning about blocking this account. I am certain that you did not mean to influence the debate by resort to legalese language, but would be grateful if you would amend your comments to remove any such doubt. I would also point out that Wikipedia is a website dedicated to creating and maintaining an encyclopedia, with free access of editing and readership; it is not a publication, periodical, or news outlet and the only criteria for inclusion of material is that there is an established notability for the subject, by independent reliable third party sources. If those sources do not exist, or are considered insufficient, then there is no article. All articles are reviewed independently of any other, to the same standards. Also, as Wikipedia is not a news service there is no requirement for it to report equally upon article subjects who may be engaged in seeking political (or any other) office - Wikipedia does not report, it distills encyclopedic content from available sources. I look forward to you amending your comments, and seeking the keep of the article by use of the criteria governing notability. LessHeard vanU (talk) 22:43, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
