Ae there rules that say I cannot list myself as a designer on this website and also write an associated highly informative article using my name or am I expected to use another name ? Please explain this curious reaction ? JB

This is ridiculous - I have to promote my lecture in order to educate people about this subject. How is this breaking the rules ? I have already amended my article to conform to your rules. I make very little commercially from this. You apear to be extremely quick to attach and pre-judge. Your criticisms include errors and spelling mistakes. Who are these adminstrators ? Young computer experts ? JB

I simply wish to use this site to expand the knowledge base on the field of contemporary furniture. You include Norman Foster as a furniture designer. He is an Internationallly renowned architect and his entry promotes him ! What is wrong with that ? Why one set of rules for him and another for me ? Please explain ! JB

If you do not know who I am then read one adminstrator's comments at the "Votes for Deletion" at Jeremy Broun.

 * Delete . Salvage informative parts into Furniture. Mikkalai 20:39, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. This doesn't read at all like an encyclopedia article.  It has a very odd, boosterish tone.  The author is obviously very excited about the furniture he makes, but this is a vanity article.  --Stan.

Of course I am passionate about my craft ! Is this a crime ! Are these the criticisms of educated people whose opinions count ? In view of these astounding comments I am withdrawing my article. Jeremy Broun 8 May 2005


 * Is this an enclopaedia article, or a William Morris -esque tract ? ??NPOV?? --Simon Cursitor 08:03, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

9 May. Despite my withdrawing my article due to these comments it still appears and therefore attracts further comments. The article is a copy of one I have recently published in the UK and is a development of one I published in 1989 for a magazine called "Woodworking International" called "The Golden Age of Contemporary Craftsmanship" !!.

 * Comment: assuming this is deleted, "Furniture Today" is also an American trade magazine.  I've written a stub at this discussion page.  I assume I can recreate this article? Samw 01:07, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
