Speedy deletion nomination of XSketch
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
A tag has been placed on XSketch requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
at the top of the article, immediately below the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}
) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate), and providing your reasons for contesting on the article's talk page, 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. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
You may want to read the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. JeremyMcClean (Talk) 01:57, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
- You are going to need to show, by citing reliable independent sources per WP:V, that this game meets the notability requirements of WP:WEB. In the meantime, I've put the content in your userspace at User:Kinkreet/XSketch. NawlinWiki (talk) 02:58, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
Speedy deletion declined: Knight Rifles
Hello Kinkreet. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Knight Rifles, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: not a 'cornershop' type of corporation A7 is for. The first two refs are half-decent too. Thank you. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 18:00, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Could I please draw your attention to WP:Chem/Structures for any future structures, we are currently redrawing all useful jpg and gif images and clearing all structures off en-wiki to commons. Jpg and gif are raster images which are not really suitable for chemical structures so they are redrawn as svg files, a vector image which render much better. I've classified it for redrawing and moving to commons (Category:Classified Chemical Structures). Ronhjones (Talk) 00:39, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
WikiProject Wikify March Mini Drive
![]() | Hi there! I thought you might be interested in the March Mini Special Wikification Drive, from March 8 to 23, 2012. We're currently recruiting help to clear a massive backlog (21,500+ articles), and we need your help to keep it down at 20,000! Participants in the drive will receive barnstars for their contributions! If you have a spare moment, please join and wikify an article or tell your friends. Thanks! |
Delivered by benzband (talk) on behalf of WikiProject Wikify 18:40, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
- Hi Krinkreet, i just wanted to remind you that the March Mini drive doesn't start until March 8, 2012, 00:00 AM UTC (and finishes on March 24, 2012, 00:00 AM UTC). Therefore, i would be grateful if you didn't log any articles until that date (in short, tomorrow :) and if you didn't include the articles you just logged in this MM drive. I hope you understand, and good luck!
Cheers, benzband (talk) 20:00, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
Random Act of Kindness
Thank you for your Act of Kindness. :-) I'm sure you could't mean me, because I can be a real SOB sometimes. I just try to do what I can to make the Wiki the best Wiki there is. Thanks, just not sure what I did to deserve it. Take care. :- ) DCS 04:52, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
- No! I insist! You are not one to do an obvious 'act of kindness', but they way you treat newbies kindly, opposite to an WP:VAMPIRE, makes people want to contribute more. You also go one step further and help the newbies improve their articles; that's going beyond your call of duty! When I first started writing/editing articles, some people weren't very constructive, so it is nice to see someone who is nice and also willing to help. Kinkreet~♥moshi moshi♥~ 12:40, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
- I'm speechless. So, just thanks. :- ) DCS 15:27, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
Greetings from the MCB WikiProject!
Question
Hi Kinkreet, thank you for the welcome message. I've been working on improving a lot of pages that have grammar and typo problems. I want to keep learning more ways I can contribute though as I keep editing. I've noticed a lot of the banners on articles that say what kind of problems the article has. Is there a place that has all of those banners so I can find specific ones to put on a page? While working on the pages I see a lot of other problems and think that it would help if I could put one of those banners on it. Comatmebro (talk) 23:21, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
- Yes! It is great that you want to do more! For what you want to do, the best thing is to use TWINKLE. TWINKLE is a gadget which you can enable on your 'my preferences' tab at the top (go to my preferences >> gadget >> make sure the checkbox next to " Twinkle, a set of tools that automates common tasks such as reporting vandalism, warning vandals, requesting deletion, welcoming users, and tagging articles." is checked. Once enabled, it allow you to tag pages with the banners you mentioned (it does a lot more, read the manual to explore). Anything else you need, just post here, happy to help! Kinkreet~♥moshi moshi♥~ 23:30, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
- Great! I'll try that out. I just came across this article: Rudy Perez. It seems like it was written by Rudy Perez. It says things like "He is considered one of the most outstanding creators in the field of international pop music." I'm not sure if I can delete or change that because it has a reference after it. It also has pretty terrible grammar in a lot of areas so I will try to work on that. Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the other aspects of the article. Comatmebro (talk) 23:38, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
- Actually, this article is in a dire state! You are correct that it is not written in a completely neutral point of view WP:NPOV and a lot of the text are copied!
WP:COPYRIGHTWP:C-P You can learn more about the topics in the link I gave you. What I'd do is to first use TWINKLE to tag the article with a {{POV}} and {{copypaste}}tag, I haven't done it yet so you can help me do that. Once you've tagged it, other editors which patrol these pages will, in a while, come and help you improve on it (if you haven't done it already). At the mean time, just take one section at a time and reword it so that it is neutral, and also if you come across sections which are irrelevant WP:NOT, then just delete that part. I'll give you a hand as well. Can I ask what your interests are? My interests are in biology, so I edit biology pages; if you have a special interest, then it would be more enjoyable for you to edit those pages instead of going through random pages. Cheers Kinkreet~♥moshi moshi♥~ 23:49, 17 March 2012 (UTC)- I put the pov tag but didn't see the copypaste one in the list. As for the interests: hm, good question. I've worked in writing centers before to help people with essays and other papers, so I actually really enjoy just fixing and cleaning up writing. So I don't mind working on random articles. But I'm also interested in gov and politics. I might work on some articles in those areas at some point, when I have a more experience here. Comatmebro (talk) 00:02, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
- Good, we need more people like you who enjoys fixing things! However, I am not a big fan of editing articles I am not interested in, editing for me is as much helping as it is learning, so apart from the obvious mistakes and copyrights, I am afraid I won't be helping you a lot on this article (please don't hold me for it!). I have also asked the author of the article (in this case just one) to help us out as well. When you become more experienced, you may want to start your own article, or you can start articles which other people have requested (here. If you are looking for more general articles to look at, I would recommend Special:NewPages as these are often the pages that require the most attention. I've given you quite a lot of info, I hope you are not overwhelmed. If you still have questions, I am more than happy to answer :)))) Kinkreet~♥moshi moshi♥~ 00:12, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Comatmebro (talk) 23:38, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for reminding me that I was copied material of others sources long ago in the article, because this fact helps me improve it. I already modified the parts of the article I saw copied. If you see copied some others parts of this article, do you could help me to change them it? As for the neutrality of the article, I did not do anything but draw on different sources, to include this information, Where should I put the awards he has won? in the Music career section, the data are chronological (I do not know when he won those awards). How I can I do to improve the neutrality of the printed article?--Isinbill (talk) 01:35, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
- I could only see a few that are copied directly, but there are a lot that were paraphrasing. Unfortunately I do not have the time this week to go through the whole article, but I might return at a later time. I have tagged the article so other editors should notice it and help you as well, but that might take some time (Comatmebro is already helping out!).
As for the neutrality of the article, try avoiding statements which sounds like opinions that cannot be backed up by sources, such as 'Thank to this album' or 'He cleaned and slept here, because he was going through a divorce.' Also, generally, try to state his awards and success rather than giving your opinion or a source's opinion on it. When opinions are essential, say it in a way which is neutral (e.g. 'He received many positive reviews for his work AKSDJA' [backed up by a citation], rather than 'Many in the industry thought his work is great'). Furthermore, placing his list of awards in his career section would help; the lead is just a few lines introducing the topic, establishing notability, mainly aimed at people who have no knowledge in the subject.
The article is good, but just needs rewording to make it sound more formal. I hope this helps, and good luck. Kinkreet~♥moshi moshi♥~ 01:48, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
About your adoption offer
I have got the hang of some of the policies but I still need to get completely familiar with everything. I would really love some help here - thank you! AndieM13 (Leave a message!) 14:16, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
- Cool! So what do you know already? What are your interests? And what do you want to know? Have you enabled Twinkle? That's like the one tool everyone should get haha! So first I would recommend you enabling it via My Preferences>>Gadget>>Twinkle. If you are reading this, you probably have seen my message on your wall titled 'TalkBack', that's a way of notifying someone you have replied on their own talk page; I used Twinkle to do it because it saves a lot of time. Try replying to this message on your own wall and then give me a talkback using the Twinkle tool! Peace x Kinkreet~♥moshi moshi♥~ 15:56, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

More questions
You're the only person I know here so I'm gonna have to bug you again. Is it normal to have articles about a song like this one: Right by My Side. I found it looking at the new pages link you sent me. Niki Minaj is notable I'm sure (even though I think her music is terrible, but that's beside the point). But there doesn't seem to be anything significant about the song that can't just be in the article about the album. What are the options to fix the article? Comatmebro (talk) 00:20, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
- Songs by notable artists are usually accepted as articles if they are popular (we can't keep track of every single song that has ever been made!) The song hasn't even been released yet, it has just been 'leaked', so it can't be of much significance. So at the moment, I suggested a merge with the main article (on the basis that it has "minimal content that could be covered within a page about a broader topic", and nothing is sourced). The author is bound to disagree, but that might prompt him/her to improve on it. For now, as it is, it should not stand as an article by itself, and so should be merged. Usually you need a consensus on the merge to proceed, but that's two of us already who thinks so, but we need some more. Do you want to try to start a merger discussion? All the information you need is at WP:MERGE. Tell me if you want me to do it instead (: Kinkreet~♥moshi moshi♥~ 11:28, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
- Okay, I followed the steps on WP:Merge and started it on the talk page for the album. Comatmebro (talk) 23:15, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
- Good job! We might have to wait a while now, may even be after the song is released haha. But that's Wikipedia for you haha! At least you have learnt something ^^ Kinkreet~♥moshi moshi♥~ 23:28, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah, I've been learning a lot already! Thanks to you. Comatmebro (talk) 23:30, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
- Aww >_< It's all your own work! All I am doing is pointing you to the right direction! I am learning as well, there were things I thought I knew but forgot! So thank YOU! Kinkreet~♥moshi moshi♥~ 23:32, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
- So on this page, Pedigree Dogs Exposed - Three Years On, I put in the unreferenced tag because it has no references. The person who made the article took it out and said "content does not need an explicit reference. the reference is the film itself." I know I haven't been here long, but from the policies and such it seems like everything needs at least some references. I know I'm supposed to 'be bold' or whatever, but I thought I'd check with someone first to get more input and info before getting into some kind of dispute over it. Oh also I figured out how to add pages to the watchlist so I thought I can just add this page so you won't have to send messages to my talk page. Comatmebro (talk) 23:02, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
- That's a good idea, you know you can delete those blue boxes (some info on your Talk page such as Talkback, can be deleted. While others like commentary cannot)
Every article needs a reference, you are right. If their reason is not valid, just revert or undo their edit (I use rollback, which is faster) and tell them on their talk page not to do it again. You always need some references, to prove the validity of the claims, as well as to establish notability. Next time you see someone do that, just be stern! :< Still....peace x Kinkreet~♥moshi moshi♥~ 23:33, 24 March 2012 (UTC)- I also noticed you deleted some of the talk page for Talk:Pham_Ngoc_Lan. Generally, even if it isn't much help to the article, unless it is harmful, we do not remove it. This is to avoid unnecessary disputes. See WP:TPO Kinkreet~♥moshi moshi♥~ 23:40, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

- Okay, I followed the steps on WP:Merge and started it on the talk page for the album. Comatmebro (talk) 23:15, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
Okay thanks. On that talk page, someone just copied the entire article and pasted it into the talk page. It had completely screwed up the formatting on the talk page so that any new messages wouldn't show up. So in that specific case, I thought it'd be okay to delete that. But I understand the reasoning behind not deleting talk page comments and will follow the rules :) Comatmebro (talk) 01:17, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
- That's cool man. I didn't know the reason, so I'd just thought I'd make sure you knew. You been trying out anything new recently? Kinkreet~♥moshi moshi♥~ 09:10, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
- I've been doing some of the new page patrolling that you mentioned and I really enjoy that. Other than that I've just been doing the copyediting, which I also enjoy. I noticed you got an award for 'wikification'. What exactly does wikification entail and how can I do get involved in that? Comatmebro (talk) 04:19, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
- Great! Glad you are loving what you do! I am working in a lab now so have less time on Wikipedia, and I kind of miss it. So I am mainly writing new articles on my page and hopefully will improve on the existing articles.
That award was for a 'drive' that happened in March, I was hoping to do a lot more after my exam finished, but forgot it didn't last the whole of March, silly me. But yeh, Wikify Project is more for more complete articles, which often have appropriate content in it already, but do not integrate well with the rest of Wikipedia, either because it has very few links out of it, or few wikilinks link to it. It can also be that they do not conform to the layout of the standard, for example if they used === instead of == for the heading. To join, just put your name here and all the information is here. It is not as quick as New Pages Patrol, but it can give you a different taste. Kinkreet~♥moshi moshi♥~ 07:40, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Pedigree Dogs Exposed - Three Years On and Dodobird
Here's some featured articles on books and films without references for their plot sections.[1][2][3][4]. It's a widely accepted practice. See some old discussion here. If the issue is notability, perhaps you could use the notability tag.
— Kinkreet , — (continues after insertion below.) Every article requires references. Never did I argue that plot needs references (though I am not arguing it doesn't). All the articles you listed had references. If you consider your article to be simply a plot, then maybe you can merge it to Pedigree_Dogs_Exposed.
"Some info on your Talk page such as Talkback, can be deleted. While others like commentary cannot" You can. "Users may freely remove comments from their own talk pages, though archiving is preferred" — Kinkreet , — (continues after insertion below.) Thanks for that, I wasn't making it clear, I should have said some commentary cannot be deleted (generally) Referring to "There are certain types of notices that users may not remove from their own talk pages, such as declined unblock requests and speedy deletion tags." --Dodo bird (talk) 01:28, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
Adoption
Hi Kinkreet, I am still interested in being adopted! Thanks, Athleek123 (talk) 04:36, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
- Hi again Kinkreet, I have created two articles and wikified three articles. I just discovered project Wikify and I plan to participate in that project. As of right now there aren't any specific things that I would like to learn, but as I edit things tend to come up so it will be good to have someone I can ask questions to. Also, I clearly don't understand how to use the talkback tag :P. I would like to learn how to review new articles too. Thanks, Athleek123 (talk) 00:18, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
- Hi Athleek123 (: Reviewing new articles is probably the best way to learn about Wikipedia, since they are the ones that need the most work. If you are to read the whole Wikipedia policy, you'd probably be bored, so I suggest start with just this section: Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol#Patroller_checklists. So open this checklist, go to Special:NewPages and click on one of the yellow links. Go through the checklist. If there is anything needs doing, add the relevant tags, or even correct the mistake yourself. If the article is good, then click on the "Mark page as patrolled" at the bottom right corner.
To help you do this, I would advice enabling the WP:TWINKLE gadget, which helps you add tags, and report articles for speedy deletion. You can also use it to add talkback templates; alternatively, just type {{talkback|THE LOCATION OF WHERE YOU REPLIED}} Peace x Kinkreet~♥moshi moshi♥~ 00:45, 26 March 2012 (UTC)- Ah ok, thanks!

Merger discussion
I started another merger discussion. This one's bigger than the other one. If you have time and are interested, it would be great if you could give your input (whether it's to support or oppose). The discussion is here. Also, I'm not sure if there was consensus for the merger on the last one. Can you check it out and let me know what you think? I don't know if the Right by My Side page has been updated enough to stand alone since that song came out. Comatmebro (talk) 07:49, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
- Hey Comatmebro! I started a new discussion on the Right by My side article, since it has now been released and no one apart from you have said anything since it has been released. As to the 30 Rock characters, I'd argue that they are notable enough, and that some articles are not up to scratch, and only need a small alteration (maybe including a section on development or reception). Personally, I think a merge would be too dramatic, tagging it for improvement would be more appropriate. That's just my opinion though. Hope you are well. Kinkreet~♥moshi moshi♥~ 08:58, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
- Your opinion is much appreciated. I commented at the talk page and took off the merge tags based on your and Dragonwarrior's input. And I supported your merge on the Pink Friday article :) On an unrelated note, what does Moshi Moshi mean? Comatmebro (talk) 02:50, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
- Haha, wonderful question. Japanese people, when talking on the phone, begins by "moshi moshi", I guess to some degree the same as the English version of "Hello?", only when on the phone. I am not Japanese though. Kinkreet~♥moshi moshi♥~ 13:06, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

I was working on this page, Julius Mutekanga, for the wikification drive and it needs one. The page might not even be notable but I figure it's a good opportunity to learn something new.
Also, how do you make your name/signature all cool looking? Comatmebro (talk) 05:51, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
- Yo Yo Yo, there are many ways to make a table, the most basic table you can just add using ^^^Advance>>Insert Table up top next to special characters and help. Help:Tables Tell you everything you need to know (there are different types of templates, with different styles, the one at the top of the edit bar is the most basic one) But basically "|-" means a new line " || " separates each entry, " ! " means heading, that's kind of all >>I<< need to do a table.
As to the cool signiture thing, I found his tutorial as a good starting point Wikipedia:Smurrayinchester's signature tutorial, I also looked at other people's signitures by clicking on the edit this page button to see the code, and learnt it from there. Kinkreet~♥moshi moshi♥~ 10:29, 11 April 2012 (UTC)- Sweeet. I made a table on that page. It was much simpler than I thought it was going to be. Check out the new sig.

Response to your message - 2 things ...
First, I will be glad to help, but can only promise limited time - perhaps 2 hours a week on average. I personally would be most interested in copy-editing articles, and will be most valuable in that regard.
Second, about a month or two ago I heard about a study showing getting monoclonal antibodies into cancer cells is much easier than previously thought. You wouldnt know anything about this, maybe have a cite? It got a TON of press, and I meant to check it out, but it slipped through the cracks ... suggestions?
In particular, I'm wondering about a MAB specifically targeted against a mutant with 2-3 consecutive missense codons/amino acid substitutions in the CK8 gene. Thanks in advance. Nice to meet you.
Best regards:Cliff (a/k/a "Uploadvirus") (talk) 03:14, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
- I don't know which paper you refer to, but try 10.1097/CMR.0b013e32835312fd or http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.semcancer.2011.12.009 As to the project, just give what you can, there's no obligation or anything, I think I started this at a bad time, when everyone (including myself) is having exams, so just please just give what you can. Even if you have copy-editted an article, just list it so at least we know. Thanks. Good luck with your research. Kinkreet~♥moshi moshi♥~ 15:50, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi Kinkreet, in May you very kindly had a look for me at an article about Safetray, and cleared it for creation. Since then it's been deleted once, partly because I work for the company's marketing department and was considered too close for the topic. However, I worked with Nyttend, the administrator who deleted it, in order to make it more succinct and neutral, and they posted it last week. It has been marked for deletion again, mostly because of the notability of my sources being called into question. I have checked the rules and believe that they all pass notability criteria, as they are all national or regional newspapers and written by secondary parties, and mostly quite extensive, but I would be very grateful if you could have a look at the page and the discussion of the issues and add your opinion, whether for or against. I haven't jumped in myself, because I don't think my opinion would be considered valid by the deletion side of the argument, but I could argue for the notability of my sources if you think that's a good idea? Thanks very much, Carolinewhitham (talk) 14:14, 7 June 2012 (UTC)Carolinewhitham

File permission problem with File:Oxygen-evolving centre.gif
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/cf/Copyright-problem.svg/64px-Copyright-problem.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading File:Oxygen-evolving centre.gif, which you've sourced to James W Murray. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en
wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 00:43, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Ways to improve Progeroid syndrome
Hi, I'm Ana Bykova. Kinkreet, thanks for creating Progeroid syndrome!
I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Thank you for making a wiki page, it looks great. Please refer to the tags added to find out how you could improve it. Best wishes,
Anastasia Bykova (talk) 14:48, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.
- I have no interest in improving it. It was created because I was writing something about it and might as well put it on. I am sure other people will improve it in time, but I cannot spare any time on it. But thanks for your comment. Regards, Kinkreet~♥moshi moshi♥~ 15:30, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
Azimo
Hi Yunshui, Thanks for the feedback on the Azimo submission- I'm a well-known journalist in the UK- I've mirrored the submission off existing pages, the page is written entirely neutrally and the references I've used are all to famous British newspaper or magazines. Any further advice on how to get the article finalised? Mike Tinmouth — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thesocialpro (talk • contribs) 21:06, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
- Hi Fushien,
I am not a well-known journalist, so I don't know what advice I can possibly give you. But if I have to think really hard, then I would say put less emphasis on what it does and its accreditation, but more so on its impact and mentions in notable sources. Everything might be backed up with reliable sources and everything is true, but if it puts undue weight on some aspect over more important aspect, this article will still sound like advertising. And you said you've mirrored your submission off existing pages, I'd be interested to know what they are. Kinkreet~♥moshi moshi♥~ 21:16, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
