The information you've been adding would be better in the body of the article rather than the introduction/lead section. See WP:LEAD --Ronz (talk) 18:36, 3 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Value stream

edit
 

The article Value stream has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Article appears to promote an idea associated with a single consultant (who is also the undeclared most recent editor, referencing his own book). No evidence that concept is general or notable and despite promised on the last deletion nomination no effort has been made to improve the article.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Snowded TALK 03:32, 20 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Graham Berrisford

edit
 

The article Graham Berrisford has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

TO THE DELETER I am unclear as to how to proceed. How do I get to talk to the person who proposed deletion? What I did was rewrite the "history" section of "enterprise architecture frameworks", to correct much that was misleading. There are solid references contained in that rewrite. Since the rewrite was based on my own years of research, I referred to the paper I wrote summarizing that research. Do you mean I have to include the same references in that paper as well?

Enterprise architecture framework

edit

Thanks for your work on the Enterprise architecture framework article. I did restore the image you removed and intent to restore more of the text removed with your edit, which I explained here. Further comment and ideas are very much appreciated. -- Mdd (talk) 11:27, 8 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hi Graham, on the talk page I have commented on two topics, see here and here, and I would like your comment there. -- Mdd (talk) 13:02, 12 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
Graham, the removal of the introduction of the article like you did here is unaccaptable, and I changed it back. Please don't tried to remove it again, before there is discussion about this and there is some kind of consensus. -- Mdd (talk) 15:24, 12 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

References to sources of additional text

edit

Hi Graham,

In your latest change to the Enterprise Architecture Framework (EAF) you added the text "Most of the history above was recorded during a 2008 research project...". Now I removed the phrase "Most of the history above...", and instead added references to that research project (which you recently put online here) on every statement, that seems to originate from that research project. I also added a primary sources tag, see WP:PRIMARY, because there is the need for secondary or tertiary sources here. -- Mdd (talk) 14:23, 16 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Deb. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions because it appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Graham, for you to ask that question shows that you aren't familiar with wikipedia guidelines. I'll move the deleted text into your userspace so you can work on it to make it meet the criteria. Deb (talk) 10:30, 18 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
