Please do not delete content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Ted Malloch, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary.

Thank you.  Ilyushka88 Talk to me 08:52, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi, by blanking Ted Malloch are you trying to delete it? If so, just leave the template I placed there. It takes an admin (which neither of us are) to delete the article; blanking doesn't work. Anyway, welcome to Wikipedia! I've pasted some links below.

By the way, I notice you seem to be editing similarly to User:Keziahd. If that is also your account, you should probably pick one to stick with, as using multiple accounts is often seen as inappropriate. Good luck! FCSundae ∨^☃ (talk) 09:29, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, as you did at Ted Malloch. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. BlazerKnight (talk) 08:40, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Ted Malloch

Hi there. Please note that references on Wikipedia must directly back up the claims made in an article. As such, I have removed all the references in Ted Malloch that did not support the statements you made. Please see this note regarding the proper use of citations. I have also removed links that were directly selling any of Ted Malloch's books, as per these guidelines.

Since it is apparent that you are either Ted Malloch himself or someone directly affiliated with him, I have returned the conflict of interest tag which you had previously removed. Please do not remove it until the Wikipedia community has had a chance to fully process your entry. This may take several edits before multiple editors are satisfied that the article is not simply a promotional tool for Ted Malloch, and are also convinced that the subject is notable enough to warrant an encyclopedia article.

Alternatively, if you are uncomfortable with the conflict of interest tag appearing on the Ted Malloch article, you can implicitly request deletion of the article by blanking the page. Doing this will allow someone who is not directly affiliated with the subject to write an unbiased article, once an unaffiliated editor deems the subject notable enough to mention on Wikipedia.
