[edit] Istory

A vanity article advertising a service which the creator is a part of. The creator of the article is warning others not to edit the article without their permission. --Tachyon01 4 March 2006 0200 UTC.

• Comment - I'm sorry, I am new to Wikipedia and didn't know that this was against the rules. I will immediatly change both of my pages [iStory and Wikipedia:iStory] and get rid of this. I'm sorry about this, and it wont happen again -- Jazzer2
• Comment - iStory +iPod gives 170,000 Google hits, so it's a legitimate piece of software, but the quality of this article is atrocious. -- Imban 02:07, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep and clean up. I'm going to remove that ridiculous "warning." dbtfz^talk 03:07, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: Did anyone notice that the same author also created Wikipedia:Istory? What the heck is that? I've never seen someone create something in the Wikipedia namespace - is that kosher? —Wknight94 (talk) 03:26, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

  I have placed Wikipedia:Istory under MfD at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Istory. Pepsidrinka 03:35, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep and Cleanup perhaps an {{attention}} tag would be in order. joshbuddy^talk 06:32, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, cleanup, remove ownership. I've done a little bit of the cleanup and removal of some blatant advertising. It still needs a lot of work. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 07:10, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as per nn--Vercalos 07:23, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete this memory-gobbling advertisement. Brian G. Crawford 15:49, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
• Weak delete I rewrote the article to sound less like an ad, but I couldn't do that great a job, since I don't know anything about the subject. It still doesn't provide context very well, and the article seems more focused on the programs that create iStories (iStorys?) rather than the iStory itself. I can't vote to keep this unless it's rewritten to be more clear to let me know why it needs to be kept. Are Jazzer2 and Jazzer3 the same person? Pagrashtak 16:29, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
• Sorry* Thanks for all the editing guys, I'm still new here. And yes, Jazzer3 was me, I forgot that my username was Jazzer2 [I registered as Jazzer3 somewhere and I guess it wasn't here], so sorry about the mishalf. Jazzer2 17:29, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

• By the way Being new, I don't know how to send messages, and can't figure out how, so I can't reply to any of your guys messages. Could anyone advise me on how to do this? Jazzer2 23:06, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

  Comment: The easiest way is to click on someone's user name, click the Discussion tab at the top of their page, and click + to add a new message. You can also enter User talk:username into the search box and click Go. Stifle 17:46, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
