[edit] List of video editing software
Hello Awildman. I noticed a discussion post you recently made at List of video editing software about an open AfD. This could be interpreted as canvasing since that article is not directly related but the audience is sympathetic. WP:CANVAS seems to forbid this sort of thing. I'm saying this as a courtesy; you might want to consider reverting that post before the spammers there taint the AfD.
Another thing to remember is that article deletion is not an end-all situation. The phoenix can rise from the ashes so-to-speak. One of the rules, as I understand it, is that the old article cannot be copy-n-pasted. This means that the new article must be a new effort but it sounds like you have a lot of ideas planned so a clean slate might be a good thing. (Requestion 23:26, 2 March 2007 (UTC))
Thanks, comments removed... I was unaware of the potential canvasing violations. Placed a reference copy here, if that's alright? Awildman 19:29, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
