Re: Kristanna Loken
You said: "Hey Yamla, let's discuss something here. I am new to Wikipedia so thus I apologize for our dispute. You have added a warning since the main site has a flash design. I find that strange for two reasons. 1) The site has a "splash page" in HTML. 2) with it's own "flash warning". Since the first page you open following the link is in HTML, I should think that a warning would be wrong and unnecessary? I want to work with all of you getting Kristanna's info right. I understand that I can not edit anything my self, as of "conflict of interst", others would just take it off again. What's the most important thing? Getting her info right or using "conflict of interst" as an argument for keeping it wrong? Please contact me so we can get her info right. I can prove my claims for you. If her myspace was to be fake, this link would not be working, forwarding you to her myspace blog: www.kristannaloken.net/reply.html -A working link would prove my point. Try it."


 * Basically, I agree with Yamla. The only other thing in response is that the tone of your e-mail didn't invite me to respond to you.  It threatened to report me (whatever that might involve).  The reason you keep getting reverted for conflict of itnerest is that you're promoting websites that you seem to be affiliated with.  While Wikipedia is interested in accuracy, the policies that are in place are designed to promote accuracy.  If not for the conflict of interest rule, biographies could be heavily slanted to favor the subject because of subject or subject's agents editing the page.  For example, the Painkiller Jane edit you made seemed to only serve the purpose of promoting her up-coming series.


 * Another example you can see in the edit history is that I repeatedly removed from Loken's article that she was bisexual. In my mind, I have no doubt that Loken is bisexual.  The problem was that there weren't really any reliable sources at the time to confirm her sexuality.  The accusation that this is "my" version of Kristanna only serves to be inflammatory.

 * The problem with the official site is that the site itself requires flash. I don't have flash installed on my system and so I cannot view the contents of the website.  As a general rule, Wikipedia does not permit linking to websites which require proprietary plugins such as flash.  So normally we would not link to that site.  Only because it is the official site do we make an exception.  The warning is valid; it is essentially saying that this link does not meet our requirements but we are making a special exception here.  As to her myspace, that forwarding link does indeed prove that the myspace link is official.  Please feel free to add the link and in the edit summary, include the link from the official site.  Or to really avoid WP:COI, make a note in the article's discussion page.  Indeed, this is exactly the sort of thing we look for when considering myspace links; it's important to verify they really are official.  Thanks for your comments!  --Yamla 02:29, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

I am new to Wikipedia, so please accept my apology. I did not mean to behave uncivilized. I am a fan of Kristanna, so I wanted to contribute, adding stuff to Wikipedia. That's why I added the "Painkiller Jane" interview link and myspace link. I am a fan of her, but I also work for her. I am part of her website team. I am really just a small part of the machinery. I thank you both for your dedication keeping her info accurate! If you have any questions about content please don't hesitate to contact me. --Seabris 05:09, 2 March 2007
