Salomy Jane
WMT,

I hope that you are able to find this message. You sent an email to me using the email feature on Wikipedia but I am replying on your talk page. We can now discuss the issue here, on your talk page and be able to reference the entire discussion in one place rather than trading emails.

In regards to your issue. Salomy Jane most likely is a notable subject for an article on Wikipedia, however, the showing of the film at the Rafael Film Center in San Rafael, California is NOT notable for Wikipedia. Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia and cannot be used for advertising or for current events. I would however suggest that you write an article on the film seeing as there isn't one.

To do this just do the following (it's really not as daunting as it seems and you've done much of it already):
 * [[Image:Symbol move vote.svg|20px]] See Your first article.


 * 1) Ensure that you have an account and you are logged in.
 * 2) Make sure the subject is notable enough to have their own article
 * 3) Find references
 * 4) Click on this link: Salomy Jane
 * 5) Create the article, including all your references, making sure you adhere to the Manual of Style and our article layout guidelines
 * 6) Be aware that Wikipedia deletes thousands of new articles for failing to adhere to our policies and guidelines. New articles by new users are at extra risk of deletion, due to new users' unfamiliarity with our rules. Consider gaining experience by editing existing articles before attempting to create new ones.

This a generic list but it does help....

The picture may not have a copyright held on it but it appears on another website and I could find no permissions so I would not upload it. Wikipedia is very particular about images and copyrights.

This all may seem like a lot and it might seem trivial or confusing. You can respond to this by clicking the 'edit this page' tab at the top of the page and typing below my text. Please ask any questions you may have. You said that Wikipedia is confusing if your not a programmer so I think its appropriate that I tell you that I am in no way a programmer. In fact, I'm just your average college student. The Wikipedia-way of doing things is confusing at first but gets easier with experience. Scottydude review 19:27, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
