[edit] Argenbright Security
Regarding your edit to Argenbright Security: why does Form 8850 warrant being listed as a See also link? There is no obvious link between the two. —C.Fred (talk) 01:37, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
Hello, Sfmammamai, I guess I was trying to make the link that Argenbright took part in the Welfare-to-Work Program which utlitized the social security number driven Form 8850. Thank you for patience awaiting my reply.
[edit] December 2007
Hello, may I make a couple editing suggestions?
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In the future, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thank you.
Also, please remember to provide an edit summary. It helps other editors keep track of changes. --Sfmammamia (talk) 07:51, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] WP:CITE
Please do not cite Wikipedia as a source. It is against policy for Wiki to cite itself.--Strothra (talk) 07:49, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your direction, Strothra.
[edit] Reader
SmackBot didn't remove them, but I suspect stuff like "When 770,000 adults pick up the Reader at over 400 locations every Wednesday, little do they know that they are supporting the owner, Jim Holman's, political and social agenda." doesn't belong in Wikipedia. Rich Farmbrough, 13:28 31 December 2007 (GMT).
Thank you. but I respectfully disagree. It's not an opion, rather a fact, that People in San Diego aren't informed that Jim Holman, owner and operator of The Reader, is using the money from that publication to fund Propositions 73 and Proposition 85, both limiting human rights in California. The people of California voted down those measures, and the man who spearheaded those issues is the owner of The Reader. thank you.
[edit] Speedy deletion of San Diego CityBeat
A tag has been placed on San Diego CityBeat, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

- Basically you need to assert their notability to prevent speedy deletion. As it reads now, it's basically a directory of how to contact them to place an ad and what their circulation is. I believe that you could pretty easily establish notability (i.e. the paper deserves an article), but it would require pretty much a rewrite - that's why I tagged it. Check out Wikipedia:Notability, and if you're going to fix it, add the {{hangon}} tag to Talk:San_Diego_CityBeat and say that you're fixing it. Toddst1 (talk) 12:23, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Baja 1000
I notice by your own admission that you are a newbie. I have changed your addition to the article from part of the main text of the article to a new section called "Additional reading". I think that the text has marginal encyclopedic value so I did a compromise. People still can read the content if they are interested. I never heard of the incident (as a fan of off-road racing), and it only marginally relates to the Baja 1000. A section should have more content than a phrase.
I want to take this opportunity to talk to you a little about formatting. The headings in an article should not be formatted in all caps. The caps caused the heading read like it was a shock section. The manual of style calls for heading to have only the first letter of the first word to be capitalized, except for extenuating circumstances (like God, NASCAR, etc.). I noticed on other articles that you use inline external links to link to a company's website, like this: Microsoft. There are few circumstances where you should be doing something like that. A good way to start an article is to copy the content of a simular topic, then delete what you don't need. When you have the content completed, look at the categories in the simular topic and tweak them (if needed) to whatever is needed. I hope you find these hints helpful.

[edit] San Diego Reader
I think you may misunderstand a bit how things are supposed to work here. External links on the San Diego Reader article are supposed to be directly about the San Diego Reader itself — it's just needless and not-helpful clutter to start adding external links to national associations of alternative weeklies.
