[edit] thanks for the feedback

hi

thanks for the feedback.

for anyone concerned about "advertising", i am actually updating the ENTIRE spectrum of people who have working on the Sunday Program. if that includes me - then excuse me - but i don't know how else i would list a complete set of people who worked on this show. some people do not have profiles, and i am creating them too.

Well, even if you are writing about your former colleagues that still means you are in close connection with the article's subjects - please read Wikipedia:Conflict of Interest. You see, we have had the longstanding experience that it is hard for people who are in such a conflict of interest to conform with the neutral point of view policy. In any case, auto-biographies and promotional articles like the ones you are copying and pasting are simply a different genre from encyclopedia articles - even if they are written honestly, they have different objectives and a different style.
I have not doubts that Sunday Program was a very fine piece of TV journalism, but it might be a better idea to let other people write about it. If you choose not to accept that advice, you will still need to provide solid evidence that you have permission to these texts under the GNU FDL (we can't verify from your user name alone if you are who you say) - either by displaying a notice to this effect at the site of original publication or by sending an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en at wikimedia dot org or a postal letter to the Wikimedia Foundation. These messages must explicitly permit use under the GFDL.

[edit] changes made

no copyright permissions needed - all offending passages now removed. the rest is information most other people already know. conflict of interest is irrelevant since it has been 7 years since i had anything to do with it, and i don't work or keep in contact with 'Sunday alumni' per se. i wanted to updated a piece of history when i noticed information about it was so minimal on Wikipedia. k

[edit] Notability of Robert Haupt

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Robert Haupt, by Xiaphias (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Robert Haupt seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Robert Haupt, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it did not nominate Robert Haupt itself.
