On Paul Bouche, can you identify the copyright status of that image and try to get the article to conform to the manual of style please? (If the image is copyright, don't worry no-one'll think worse of you). Dunc|☺ 23:20, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Re:Wikipedia email[edit]

You didn't give a valid email address, so this is my reply to your email:

Paul,

You twice recreated a vanity article on yourself, despite it being voted for deletion through the appropriate mechanism. We do not encourage authors to write about themselves -- if you are notable then at some point someone is going to write about you.

I warned you on your talk page not to recreate the article and you had previously removed a vfd tag. The ban was in part aimed at establishing dialogue. It was for only 24 hours, so should have finished now.

There are some options open to you.

First, if you wish to be a wikipedian and contribute to the 'pedia, you can create your own article at user:Espozzi and upload your photo, no problem. I will undelete the article and move it there if you wish. I encourage you to make contributions to articles, but you need to follow community consensus on what's in and what's out.

Secondly, you could go to Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion and request that Paul Bouche be undeleted. If consensus is reached there that you are notable after all, then the article can be restored.

Otherwise, you could try uploading your photo and biography to the Internet Movie Database at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1658728/ which is more geared towards the entertainment business.

There is also Everthing2 http://www.everything2.com/ which has an extremely inclusionist stance on things, but I don't know much about it other than that.

Thirdly, if you are unhappy about my behaviour you can go to wikipedia:requests for comment and complain.

Hope that helps, I honestly encourage you to contribute to the wiki, but as I said, please don't write about yourself, if you are notable then someone else will write about you.
