Speed deletion contest information
First of all. I have no intention of spaming wikipedia, neither am I from an organization who's sole purpose is to spam, nor am I here as a sole person with the intentions to spam whatsoever.

My sole purpose of writing this article is to enhance the understanding of what XWE is and what it does.

I saw a dead link, and I wanted to give a neutral view of it's benefits / disadvantages. And besides I've got over 13 years experience in Doom wads, and a year of experiences with this program. So hang tight and give me a couple of hours and I will correct this article complete with pictures.
 * I would recommend against using pictures, as the interface is likely copyrighted to the software author. You might get by with one image as fair use, but that's about it. Really, the article needs sources to show that the application satisfies Wikipedia's notability and verifiability policies. Right now, it just reads like promotion for the program, which is not what Wikipedia is for. -- Kesh 23:39, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Ok thanks for your advice. Would it be ok if I take a snapshot with no file loaded, or a file of my own loaded? That way you get at least a preview of how it looks like.
 * Couldn't say for sure. Uploading images is tricky, because Wikipedia has strict rules about what you're allowed to host here. See WP:IMAGE. Also, don't forget to sign your posts on talk pages by typing four ~ symbols at the end. -- Kesh 23:47, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Kesh for the information. Ok I'll skip the image for now. I'll contact the author on the DoomWorld forum and ask if he has a picture online somewhere and if he mind me linking to it from wikipedia.

Editing resumes within 6 hours
Ok it's 2.09 AM GMT+1 here in Stockholm, Sweden. I'm pretty tired as it is now so I'm signing out for now and will continue to make the XWE article deeper and more intresting. It is quite hard for me to dismantle my story thought in swedish over to english when I'm so cnackered as I am. And I'm all out of cola so I'll take a much needed rest and being back at 8.30 AM GMT+1. To be continued...

Deleted unfinnished version
I thought I made it absolutely 100% clear when I told you last night that I wasn't finnished with the version and I was about to take it up and complete it as soon as I was awake didn't I?

I asked if I could finnish the version that was contested and I got that granted. Yet the version was deleted straight in front of my very own eyes when I was sleeping. Luckily my history was intact so I could get back a few pages and copy the sourcecode. Please let me finnish my article next time before you delete anything by me!

 * The admin apparently agreed with me that the article read substantially like an ad. What I suggest is that you write the article in your own userspace first, at something like User:Jobro/Sandbox, and then once you consider it finished it can be moved to the correct article name. It's better to do that way, than to write an unfinished article in main article space. I do think that should be made clearer to new users, but that's how it is right now. -- Kesh 19:35, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
