[edit] February 2008
The information I posted to United States third party presidential candidates, 2008 was to inform people of a formation of a new political party, and a write-in candidate for President. Please do not delete it. I will add the hang-on tag. and I am open to suggestions to make this information fall into compliance with wikipedia. You should consider deleting the article Unity 08 as that organization no longer exists. Coolnation (talk) 23:17, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Help Request
{{helpme}} I represent a New Political Party. How can I let people know we exist using wikipedia?
- There are numerous problems here I'm afraid – it is possible for your party to have an article provided they meet the notability guidelines using reliable sources. However, you editing the article might create a conflict of interest as you'd perhaps try and show the party in a good light. This is a difficult issue to get around I'm afraid. Do you have any links to elsewhere on the web that talks about your party? —αlεx•mullεr 23:53, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
My website http://www.coolrock.com talks about my party, and I am trying to stay unbiased in my descriptions. It seems very difficult, as I am trying to let people know I exist, but I must have more reliable sources first. Any suggestions would be helpful.
- Hi there! As User:Alex.muller stated above, it would not be a good idea for you to create and/or edit an article about this subject (per wikipedia's conflict of interest and notability guidelines). The best idea would be to wait for somebody not personally to the subject to write the article. Hope this helps! If you have any further questions, feel free to ask them here or on my talk page. --omtay38 00:12, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
