The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=113863131194&topic=9745 (matching the regex rule \bfacebook\.com).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link.

1. Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added such as to the page Dartford Living do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

1. Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Dartford Living. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by some search engines, including Google. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it.

Speedy deletion nomination of Dartford Living

A tag has been placed on Dartford Living, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. DanielRigal (talk) 17:14, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Dartford Living, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 01:53, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Deletion review

If you want to request a review of the deletion of Dartford Living you need to do it at Wikipedia:Deletion review but please read Wikipedia:Deletion policy first. I am going to put the newly created version you made up for speedy deletion for having no content. That won't affect any deletion review outcome either way. --DanielRigal (talk) 00:55, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Your note on my talk page

I suggest you follow any of the myriad links above this section, to our stringent standards on conflict of interest, which you seem to be blithely ignoring. If this is in fact a notable topic, somebody without a conflict of interest will write an article about it someday. --Orange Mike | Talk 13:39, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Dartford Living

We wanted a reference point for people searching for Dartford Living on the web.

I have responded to your comments below. your comments are in brackets []..

[Seemingly non-notable free magazine] - this is offensive. non-notable? Dartford has good links with local organisations and residents and has been involved in local politics since inception.

[with a small local circulation] - you call 6,000 printed copies small? have you considered our online presence at our website and on facebook? (700 members within 5 months). We have also set up on twitter and within one month have 50 followers. We also have people downloading each issue form our website from all over the globe, and downloads are in excess of 400 downloads...besides...is there a criteria that asks a minimum number of copies each month before it can be conidered for entry on to wikipedia?

[and no references for verifiability.] - we can provide references if necessary.

[Has interviewed some notable people but so have many other non-notable publications (e.g. student magazines) which we don't have articles on.] - maybe because these publications don;t want to be on wikipedia, or not thought about setting an entry on wikipedia?

[Previously speedily deleted twice.] - true, because the entry sounded like an advert and because we didn't understand the copyright issues with photos (since cleared up). we have revamped it to make it more factual instead. we are new to wiki and are just getting to grips with it

There must be some guidelines we can refer to in this dispute - another view fron another editor as your comments are not just offensive but do not stand up to any scrutiny....I hope that we can resolve this amicably without removal of the page. if it needs changing or editing please advise us and we will do so. u need references? what kind of references? anything else we need to add or omit?

regards

abdelhk

Can you please read WP:No personal attacks. Calling someone comments "offensive" is a borderline attack. Thankyou. Martin451 (talk) 19:50, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Dartford Living

A tag has been placed on Dartford Living, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay.

The page is not inappropriate - how do we put up a factual page about the magazine? Abdelhk

Significance (journal)

You said: Hello, how do you do? I also work in statistics (kind of) in the UK. Many thanks for the Significance page. I just overwrote a recent correction you made as I feared it could sound a little advertise-y..what do you think? Also, how could I change the title from 'journal' to 'magazine'? As you're the initial author of the piece would it be you who could change this or must I contact an editor? Thank you. Abdelhk (talk) 05 November 2010 15:11 (UTC)

I saw that you made what I regard as a mistake in replacing the journal template in the article by a magazine template. The content is of much the same quality as The American Statistician which is counted as a journal on wikipedia. Melcombe (talk) 09:41, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Hello! Thanks for your comment. Significance is considered as a magazine by the RSS and indeed the ASA and wanted the Wikipedia entry to reflect this. Abdelhk (talk) 11:40, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Following up on Discussion note - currently Significance is jointly published by the ASA and RSS - see the press release at press release and the Significance web page at Significance. As I recall there is an editorial in the first jointly published issue (Sept. 2010). The cover image from Sept. 2010 features the logos of both societies. The Significance article is not clear about this and suggests that the only thing shared is the subscriber list. Run54 (talk) 15:13, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment. The ASA press release (http://magazine.amstat.org/blog/2010/05/13/significancecoverstorymay1/) begins with the text 'Beginning with the September 2010 issue, the ASA and the Royal Statistical Society will collaborate on the publication of the statistical outreach magazine Significance.' There is indeed a shared subscriber list but the aim from both Societies is to get the magazine beyond the subscriber list (and indeed libraries, colleges etc), starting with the online presence.

The magazine also now has two sets of Editorial Boards, one which is ASA-led and based in the States and the other RSS-led and based in the UK which meet regularly. Both participate in the production of the magazine through suggestions, author-sourcing, ideas for articles, strategy etc. The ASA's involvemnent also saw the circulation increase considerably and funded the new website and online presence and an intended increase to 8 issues a year from 2012/2013. (Abdelhk 16:40, 9 November 2010 (UTC))

You wrote "Significance is considered as a magazine by the RSS and indeed the ASA and wanted the Wikipedia entry to reflect this." Do you represent the ASA or are you stating that the ASA contacted you with this request? That is strange considering it is not mentioned in the current page that ASA is jointly publishing the journal. On the magazine/journal debate, agreeing with Melcome. Among scholarly research journals it ranks as magazine, but among *periodicals* as represented on Wiki it ranks as a journal.Run54 (talk) 23:58, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Why would Wiki rank it as a journal? Both societies and the publisher refer to it as a magazine - Wiley's, the publisher, also state 'Significance is a quarterly magazine for anyone interested in statistics' at this page http://www.wiley.com/bw/journal.asp?ref=1740-9705...Abdelhk (talk) 14:44, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
