Northwest Territorial Mint
Hi, your rationale for proposing deletion of Northwest Territorial Mint is not in accordance with the Wikipedia deletion policy. I will be contesting the deletion shortly in accordance with the proposed deletion process.

Also be advised that Wikipedia has a strict policy against legal threats which you violated with this edit. I do not have the authority to take any action against you, but any editor can report you to administrators right now and you can be blocked from editing. I am not going to report you right now because I agree with this opinion piece regarding legal threats.

That being said, I would like to help you. If the negative information regarding Mr. Hansen is your concern, the issue can be fixed by deleting the offending content, not the entire article. Looking through the entire "Controversies" section, the majority of it is in violation of Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living persons; specifically, it is contentious, negative information about a living person that is not backed up by a reliable source. It appears that once I delete the offending text, there will be one paragraph left that cites a Seattle Times article, which should remain on the article but rewritten so that all text on the Wikipedia article is backed by the text of the Times article.

I'll do some work on the article. If it is still not to your satisfaction, please let me know by leaving a message here or on the article talk page. I may be able to get the article deleted in accordance with the deletion policy if a community discussion concludes that it does not meet inclusion criteria. Before I conclude, I would like to reiterate that making additional legal threats on ANY article or page on Wikipedia is a one-way ticket to a block and further headache on your part. If you are serious about taking legal action against Wikipedia or any individual editor, the appropriate course of action is to see Contact us/Article problem/Factual error (from subject) and send an e-mail to the Wikimedia Foundation outlining your concern and intent. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 05:48, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi there,

I think that you have misunderstood the intent. The article especially the controversies are not true and cannot be backed. The Seattle times article was taken out of context. The legal action was not intended against any administrator of Wikipedia or the site itself. The action may be taken against the offending party who misused company equipment and made defamatory statements while working for the company. I do not believe that we have violated any policies of Wikipedia and feel that Wikipedia should understand that a company can be adversely affected by careless remarks made by individuals for their own benefit or misusing a tool that is supposed to educate, as a means to lash out. kroleig
 * Okay, I'm not comfortable with the direction this is taking. This is starting to look like a company disciplinary matter, which I was not anticipating. I'll try and meet you in the middle here. I'll go ahead and request deletion of the company article. There will be an open community discussion, and if after 7 days the consensus is to delete the article, an administrator will delete it.
 * I strongly recommend that if you do intend to take legal action, you do as I indicated before and email the Wikimedia Foundation, as neither I nor most administrators are able to handle such matters. There are other concerns such as outing that are best handled outside the publicly accessible wiki pages. The reason I say this is because you indeed have violated the letter of the policy against legal threats, and many editors out there put on what I call "policy blinders" and will request a block on your account without considering the consequences (if that happens to you, please follow the directions on the block message to request the block be lifted). Admittedly, I was one of those editors until I read this page. That being said, many editors realize the position you are in and are willing to overlook policy in the name of making things right. Again, I hope that helps. I'll be initiating that deletion discussion soon. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 21:46, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
