User talk:Rashand

November 2018
Hello, I'm Longhair. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to User:Rashand have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Longhair\talk 15:06, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

No answer yet on your page? Hello Longhair..sorry I am so new here that I couldn't figure out how to use my talk page. I am a big photography fan interested in creating pages about emerging artists I follow. I recently saw a wiki page about this photographer (Isabelle Armand), which seemed under construction. I signed up to edit it and start my project, but the page had disappeared since. I created a basic new one for a start, which you deleted. Bio infos taken from artists' sites, and articles I save as references are considered subjective and promotional? If so, this idea might be too time consuming, thanks for your input!!!

 * I've restored the page you were working on at User:Rashand. My apologies, I was cleaning up promotional edits at this time and assumed your article was also promotional. On second looks I understand my mistake. To avoid this situation in future, prepare your article in the draft space, for example at Draft:Isabelle Armand. This will clearly mark the article as a work in progress. -- Longhair\talk 14:00, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Hello, thank you for your answer and for restoring this page, I really was wondering. Thanks for your input about the draft space too, I do need to study how this work a little bit more. It is time consuming indeed and I'll go slow! thanks again RashandRashand (talk) 23:05, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
