[edit] User Signature

Why may not have user signature like Roded86400 10:12, 15 August 2007 (UTC) in articles? Roded86400 10:12, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Signatures are added to talk pages, not main article pages.--Mendors 10:15, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mood FM

Hi Mendors,

I just wanted to say thank you for the message you left, I was just wondering how I could improve the page as I am seeking not to advertise the radio station but to provide factual information of the broadcasting environment that existed and now exists within Jordan. I understand that the information placed within the pages need third party referencing but I only ask that you bear in mind that previous radio stations have, up until recently, been under government ownership. Hence this is a relatively new subject. Lastly I ask if you may take the time to tell me as a reader what sounds biased in your opinion so I can alter it. Thank you for your time and consideration, any information you may be able to provide me with would be of a great help to me.

Many thanks San 10:03, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

For the conflict of interest tag, I added that as from your user name there appears to be a strong connection to the indicated ownership of the radio station. I would suggest you read WP:COI to see how there may be issues with someone too connected to the subject matter writing about it. I'd also suggest that you provide some third party references to establish notability as at the moment the only references are those directly connected to the radio station.--Mendors 10:33, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Dear Mendors,

As I mentioned before third party references will be added as soon as possible. I understand in retrospect how a user name which is associated with the location and a sited buisness name may seem biased. Nevertheless I am not in a position of trust for any of the companies mentioned and I certainly have no competing professional or personal interests. Allow me to ask you a hypothetical question, if I was to change my name to Jordanmusicrocks and edit the article would i still be considered too connected to the subject matter? From reading the page you suggested it talks of the person’s interest and connection with the subject matter and not about the person's username's connection to the subject. lol trust me if i could go back and change my name I would :) but it doesn't necessarily flag up a WP:COI I believe all the companies mentioned in the articles have contributed to Jordan's economy, its outlook and the various lines of Communication between the West and the Rest on various levels politically, socially and economically. This is why I believe it is important for these stations to be mentioned, if only on a factual basis. Lastly, would you be so kind as to highlight which sentences you feel may be biased and I will happily alter them.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you soon. San 12:17, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for taking a few days to get back to you.

I totally understand your reasoning about how the choice of a username may make the linkage to the WP:COI non-existent. However given your choice of username, an independent party would probably assume the possibility of a possible conflict, very much in the way that you might consider the possibility a possible conflict with a publicist for an actor.

And it is possible to change your username, which needs an administrator (I'm not one) to make the change. For more info about this, have a look at WP:CHU.

I'd add to the article some references from third parties for facts like when it opened, etc.

Other phrases that are best to avoid are things like "...it can be said...". Who said this? Ideally it should have a reference.

"...refined music..." - I'm not sure that refined is appropriate here since what may be refined to one person is not to another. Perhaps it would be best to remove the word and substitute something more aligned with the category(s) of music.

For the logo, there needs to be a fair use rational - see the text on the page when you click on .

I hope that helps answer your questions.--Mendors 23:40, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Another editor has already put it into the AFD process.--Mendors 11:07, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
