Question concerning articel "Editta braun company"
Hallo!
My name ist Sindy and I wanted to create an articel about the dance company named "editta braun company". The austrian choreographer Editta Braun is creating dance and thatre pieces since more than twenty years. In Austria her influence in the contemporary dance field is that important, that one can say, she is one of the founders of the contemporary dance in Austria. During her 20 years working she focussed on cooporations with dance and theater companies from countries all arround the world to create an exchange within the countries through dance. Her works was and ist still allways international. That's why the Editta Braun company is not only interesting for Austria - and therefore for an German articel in the Wikipedia (see: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Editta_braun_company) but also for the English Wikipedia.
I saw, that an article about the Editta Braun company was created and deleted in 2008. Is it now possible to write a new articel? (It wasn't me, who created the article of 2008.) I tried it allready some months ago, but the article was not published, that means I can't find it. What can I do to create a new articel about the dance company? Is it possible?
Thank you very much for helping! Kind regards,

- Hello Sindy. Thanks for contacting me.
- I see that the first article on Editta Braun was deleted in June 2008[1] by another administrator for being blatant advertising. But that doesn't preclude a new article on that topic from being created, as long as it meets all of English Wikipedia's criteria.
- I don't speak German at all, but looking over the German Wikipedia's version, it does not appear to provide many third-party references. Do you know if Ms. Braun "has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject"? That's the inclusion criteria for biographical articles (see Wikipedia:Notability (people)). — Satori Son 15:08, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

Site Editta braun company
Hallo Satori Son!
My name ist Sindy and I wanted to create an articel about one of my favorite dance companys named "editta braun company". But I saw, that there was already an article about the Editta Braun company existing, which has been deleted in 2008. Is it now possible for me to write a new articel? (It wasn't me, who created the article of 2008.) Would my articel be published?
Some short information about the dance company and why I find it would be senseful to have an English articel about the topic: The austrian choreographer Editta Braun is creating dance and thatre pieces since more than twenty years. In Austria her influence in the contemporary dance field is that important, that one can say, she is one of the founders of the contemporary dance in Austria. During her 20 years working she focussed on cooporations with dance and theater companies from countries all arround the world to create an exchange within the countries through dance. Her works was always and is still international. That's why the Editta Braun company is not only interesting for Austria (an articel in the German Wikipedia does already exist: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Editta_braun_company) but also for the English Wikipedia.
Thank you very much for helping! Kind regards,

An exciting month of wiki events!
Hello there,
I am pleased to say that April will be a very exciting month for Wikipedia in Washington, DC. We have a lot of different events coming up, so you will have a lot to choose from.
First, a reminder that our second annual Women in the Arts Edit-a-Thon will take place on Sunday, March 30 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.
Coming up in April, we have our first-ever Open Government WikiHack with the Sunlight Foundation on April 5–6! We are working together to use open government data to improve the Wikimedia projects, and we would love your help. All are welcome, regardless of coding or editing experience. We will also be having a happy hour the day before, with refreshments courtesy of the Sunlight Foundation.
On Friday, April 11 we are having our first edit-a-thon ever with the Library of Congress. The Africa Collection Edit-a-Thon will focus on the Library's African and Middle East Reading Room. It'll be early in the morning, but it's especially worth it if you're interested in improving Wikipedia's coverage of African topics.
The following day, we are having our second annual Wiki Loves Capitol Hill training. We will discuss policy issues relevant to Wikimedia and plan for our day of outreach to Congressional staffers that will take place during the following week.
There are other meetups in the works, so be sure to check our meetup page with the latest. I hope to see you at some of these events!
All the best,
James Hare

Wikimedia DC invites revolutionaries, free thinkers, and other sundry editors to a DC WikiSalon
