Zeng8r, Reasons for removal of content
I am expressing a strong plea to remove the content where user gasparillamedia wrote erroneously, absolutely for personal gain, not representing ME at all, back in 2014. Yes, a contact I have had a loose connection to here did try to delete the posts, because they were absolutely just the rantings of a man who was delusional and likely intoxicated, while he was trying to impress "whomever" and profit from doing the posting. Since the whole subject is an irrelevant rant, can it not just be deleted? I understand the boundaries now of external links... And also, when I did other grammar edits, it was my own post I was correcting, not those of others. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.168.199.247 (talk) 16:12, 17 September 2015 (UTC)


 * I don't make the rules; I'm just a semi-active volunteer editor keeping watch on my little corner of the Wiki-world. As I mentioned on the article's talk page, talk page guidelines say that other people's posts should only be deleted in very specific situations. It seems to me that User:GasparillaMedia's posts on talk:Gasparilla Pirate Festival do not meet those criteria. Several users have tried to insert links for their own organizations / events / businesses in that article over the last few years, so a discussion about why that is NOT ok seems to be both useful and relevant, even if one user went a little over the top for a minute there. (BTW, other guidelines state that personal attacks are not ok, so please keep that in mind when making allegations about Wiki-ing under the influence.)


 * If you want a second opinion, maybe you should ask User:Cuchullain. He's a good admin who was involved in the original discussion. Thanks. Zeng8r (talk) 16:00, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

Wishing you all the best . ..
