Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 01:46, 1 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello, Whoopduane,
 * You wrote an article that was basically a campaign brochure. Wikipedia is a neutral encyclopedia and can not be used for promoting any person, company or idea. Liz Read! Talk! 01:48, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi Liz. I patterned it on this one: Bernie Moreno.  As it happens, Greg Kidd and Bernie Moreno were both speakers at a conference about a month ago. Both are first-time candidates running for U.S. offices. Can you tell me what the difference is -- why Moreno's was accepted and Kidd's wasn't?
 * Thanks. Whoopduane (talk) 16:28, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
