Here are some tips:

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the  link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, Alphax &tau;&epsilon;&chi; 07:10, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Notability
Please provide information about notability of companies and events you so vigorously promote here. If they are not sufficiently notable the articles will be eventually deleted since Wikipedia has no aim to serve as a marketing vehicle. TIA Pavel Vozenilek 23:28, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your assistance, I've added a few sources such as sponsors and publications that have written about the event. I've also invited others to provide a more balanced list in the other category I contributed New Age Festivals Metaholist 10:28, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Other New Age events
I think it would help your cause if you added verifiable information about other New Age events to wikipedia, since you appear to be the only expert around. Kappa 17:13, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Done, I just contacted two of my collegues that hosts a great non-profit event in the U.S. and the other in the U.K. I've also invited an organization that reports to it's members on the ethics and professional standards of such events to it's members - which should provide more balance, as well as allow for outside validation of the notibitity of the events added. --Metaholist 17:28, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Body, Spirit and Soul
The Body Soul & Spirit Expo is NOT a festival. Please stop adding it to the lists for Calgary and Edmonton. I have reverted this edit 3 times now and have explained in my edit summaries the reasoning. You should read these. If you would like to make a dedicated page for EXHIBITIONS for the two cities then be my guest, but be prepared to list all of the 100 or so events that come to each city each year. You'll note that car shows, boat shows, home shows, sex shows, etc. DO NOT appear on either city's list of festivals. Therefore The Body Soul & Spirit Expo should not either. In the future, please address disagreements and conflicts in an article's TALK page rather than hopelessly re-adding information and then having it reverted. It is the best way to have your point heard. Thank you. --Tyson2k 00:53, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
