Topic on User talk:DannyS712/Archive 1

Hi DannyS712, Thank you for your feedback.  This is my first time on Enterprise MediaWiki site and I am still trying to figure out how to best fit in.

I have reviewed all User pages for the event and am not able to see how any of my works differ from the others. Wikipedia/Spam says – “unsolicited or undesired electronic messages”.  I am a member of the EMW group and expected to include a description of my enterprise-related work – who I am, who I work for and what I do.  As to promotional, must other attendees do promote their positions as consultants, etc.   I do not promote my business to the EMW group. 

Please clarify so that I may understand how my work is different than the others, as I will be discussing your comments with both Cindy Cicalese, who has already requested that we meet to discuss my ideas, and Yaron Koren, I have been his client using a wiki on his farm.  Please clarify so that I may be in conformance with the unpublished rules you reference.  Thanking you in advance.  Will you be attending our event?

In short, your user page was far too promotional to be included here. Looking at the users you cite, User:Cindy.cicalese and User:Yaron Koren both have user pages that are related to the mediawiki software.

DannyS712, Thank you. I get it. My only interest in attending is to learn more about how others in the Enterprise space are able to help employees to provide information to their group wiki. Specifically what tools are in popular use to help capture, curate, discuss and convert ideas into work processes. I will rewrite my User page to express my interest in SMW's state of the art and the desire to learn about others' use cases. Thanks again for helping me get focused.

I'm glad I got tagged here. DannyS712 - the deletions by you and Clump should not have been done, in my opinion. I read the text that was deleted (I have admin rights), and it seems completely harmless to me. I don't know what the exact rules on this site are about self-promotion (are they listed anywhere?), but the text in previous versions of Stanley's user page seemed entirely relevant here - he was talking about business plans of his that relate to MediaWiki, not advertising an ice cream shop or something. I guess this situation has been resolved now, but I hope you and Clump avoid this kind of thing in the future.
