[edit] Spam in Idea (magazine)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Idea (magazine), by WWGB (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Idea (magazine) is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Idea (magazine), 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, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Idea (magazine) itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 11:10, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Advice?

Ptrblk, I have been trying very hard over the past month (or two) to make Wikipedia a more reliable source of design information. Is it worth the energy? OatmealSmith 16:40, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

OatmealSmith, I looked at the pages you made and was impressed by the number of design related pages created. Well done. As you can tell I am quite new to WP, so I was starting slowly. My intention was to correct the Dot Dot Dot contribution (I am one of the founding editors), and to create entries for other design journals. That's why I created Idea magazine entry, if you know the magazine, you only have to agree with the importance of inclusion of the magazine - it is the inspiration behind many other journals including Dot Dot Dot. I am sorry I didn't have many facts to include, I was going to contact the publishers to get some. So i think it is too early to delete the page.
