Please support my proposal in Wikipedia talk:Community portal
Currently the portal's section "help out" lacks "Create these articles", "Represent a worldwide view" and "Add historical information", which is odd since there are still plenty of notable uncreated articles, e.g. smokers' rights and Joseph Charles Aub, plenty of articles with geographic imbalances and plenty of articles lacking sufficient historical information, and the issues are no less serious than the fact that there are still many articles requiring update. So please go to that page and support my proposal to add "Create these articles", "Represent a worldwide view" and "Add historical information" to the section "help out".--RekishiEJ (talk) 05:14, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

Ned Randolph edit
Mr. Tan,

Good evening!

My name is Matthew Dunn, and I'm the stepson of Ned Randolph referenced in the article. My family asked me to investigate a particular section headlining a lower portion of the page entitled, "The Williamson case". This was brought to my attention after several family members mentioned in the article, noticed the aforementioned content. We believe that not only is the section filled with numerous inaccuracies, but also serves little purpose in the article.... Especially as a titled section. As a journalist, I know firsthand that family and friends cannot simply decide or prevent what's reported, or publicly stated. However, "The Williamson case" is not even considered a highlight positively or negatively in my fathers political career. We suspect and believe that a disgruntled family member of Mr. Williamson probably added this to my fathers page without proper sourcing or merit.

I encourage you to read the article and notice that there are several instances in which my father is isn't painted in the world's most positive light....(Such as election losses, municipal disputes, etc..) However, these instances are accurate, and honest. "The Williamson case" section serves absolutely no relevance to the article, and tends to call attention to an entirely different person, than whom the article is intended for. I do hope that wikipedia allows the aforementioned section to be permanently removed.

Thank you for taking time to write to me, and to wikipedia for all that they do in providing information to the masses.

Happy Holidays,

Feedback on editing a company's page
Hi Tony, thanks for taking the time to comment on my talk page about my edits. I have been tasked with deleting that specific page, and failing that, reduce it's content to the minimum. This is because the company that the page is about acknowledges that a large amount of the detail on the page is incorrect, and will not devote resources to keeping the Wikipedia page up-to-date (particularly the "Locations" area and the "Products and Services" area). I was given this task by the page creator. I want to do the right thing by Wikipedia, and I am unsure of how I should proceed. Could you offer me any advice on what I should do? Thanks for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Reqests (talk • contribs) 03:10, 17 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your explanation. This seems to be a complex issue. I will get back to you as soon as possible, but meanwhile, I recommend that you also read the "Paid contributions without disclosure" section of the Wikimedia Foundation Terms of Use. Thanks, Tony Tan98 ·  talk  03:35, 17 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks Tony, I should let you know that I am editing the page as a favor to the page creator, I am not being paid to edit the page, and editing Wikipedia pages is not part of my paid duties. I don't want to break any Wikipedia rules. I'm looking forward to your response, and thanks again for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Reqests (talk • contribs)


 * Hi, thank you for your patience. I noticed that most of the article was written by user, and the article does not seem to be properly sourced anyways. Under the Wikipedia Criteria for Speedy Deletion, G7 allows the creator of an article, who has also written the majority of the content, to request the deletion of the article. Since you mentioned that the page creator wanted you to remove the content, could you get in touch with him/her so that the creator can use the original account to request the deletion? I will attempt to make a request for you, considering the creator has in the past attempted to blank the page, but if it does not work out, please ask the creator to make the request using the original account. However, this does not guarantee that a similar article will not be created again by another editor. Good luck, Tony Tan98  ·  talk  05:07, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
