[edit] Hello
I see that you are new. I would recommend reading as many articles as possible and also reading the articles up on images and the style guide before making any more articles. Thanks. --Woohookitty(cat scratches) 11:45, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Amir Singh Sarao
Please, disregard my previous message (if you have read it already!). I made a quite stupid mistake reading the history of this page, and I had deleted it. I later realized the mistake and undeleted it. The problem seems that this article still leave most people with the doubt as whether its subject meets WP:BIO. This could be established by telling the circulation of "punjabi bhasha" (how many readers does it have?) - Liberatore(T) 16:05, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
Some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Amir Singh Sarao may not be sufficiently well-known to merit articles of their own. The Wikipedia community welcomes newcomers, and encourages them to become Wikipedians. On Wikipedia, each user is entitled to a user page in which they can describe themselves, and this article's content may be incorporated into that page. However, to merit inclusion in the encyclopedia proper, a subject must be notable. We encourage you to write or improve articles on notable subjects. --Irishpunktom\talk 15:56, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edits to Donald Rumsfeld
Do you have a source for that quote you added? I googled it and got nothing... --Darth Deskana (talk page) 08:35, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Landmark Education
I removed these (again) because they violate several of Wikipedia's policies, most especially the NPOV and citation of sources.
Judging from these edits and others you have made on other topics, you don't seem to have grasped the nature of Wikipedia - it is not a discussion board for posting up your personal opinions and observations. The statements should be in the realm of facts, not opinions or value judgements, and the published sources where these facts can be verified should be provided.
Furthermore, several of the points you inserted are already discussed elsewhere in the article. DaveApter 11:44, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
- Dave: What do you mean by references. I have attended their courses. They even talk about changing dictionary meaning of the words. If people have had bad experiences with them, is not that enough to be mentioned? Seems like you profit from landmark educations 50m annual revenue. The eagle 19:19, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
I presume that the above comments posted onto my user page were by you? (If so, why did you sign them 'the eagle' rather than your user name?) If you want to post messages to me, please do so on the user talk page in future, rather than my user page.
In answer to your question - please just take a little time to read the Wikipedia policies and guidelines. It is all in there. Content added to Wikipedia should be backed up by publicly available information from 'notable sources'. This is not a place for recounting the personal experiences of individuals, or the conclusions they have drawn from them.
As regards your remark "Seems like you profit from landmark educations 50m annual revenue" - this is simply absurd. I am just a customer who is satisfied with the results I got from doing several of their courses. As you would know if you did any research, actually no-one "profits" from Landmark's revenues: They are all used (a) to deliver the courses, (b) to pay the overheads, and (c) to expand the business. The shares are all owned by the employees, and they don't distribute dividends.
I'm sorry if you personally had a bad experience. I'm aware that some people do, but in my experience it is a tiny minority.
Also please read the discussion page on Landmark Education before doing any more edits to the article. A lot of what you express is already discussed there at considerable length.DaveApter 12:58, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
