From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nick or whomever you are:

Spare me the invitation as there is nothing to "discuss". This is not a negotiation, these are standards -- and not my standards, Wikipedia's standards -- you must meet. Don't like 'em? Go to MySpace.


  • Wikipedia:Verifiability - What you put here has to be third-party verifiable. References provided by the subject don't count. If Nick Rose Day is true and notable, then it should simplicity itself to point to third-party, independent (i.e.; unmassaged or tampered with by you) references. Harvard's offcial website seems the simplest, most obvious, and least prone to tampering, and ought to have something on its official pages. Point us to the specific page.
  • Wikipedia:Vanity - "Vanity articles", as Wikipedia calls them, are verboten. to quote:
    • Vanity information is considered to be any information that was placed in any Wikipedia article that might create an apparent conflict of interest, meaning any material that presents the appearance of being intended to in any way promote the personal notoriety of the author, or one of the close family members or associates of the author.
  • This article is bursting at the seams with vanity.
  • Wikipedia:Autobiography - If you're Nick, don't write about yourself.

If you're a law student, shouldn't you:

a) understand the importance of and be familiar with the rules of an undertaking?
b) understand the importance of and be familiar with working within the rules instead of trying to sleaze your way around them?
c) be able to write clearly? The article looks like it wouldn't pass muster in a junior-high English class.
