My name is Caccophonix.
I am here to do my bit to make Misplaced Pages the most powerful repository of knowledge in the history of mankind.

Club Mahindra Holidays

Hi

Apologies for the "spam"; I'm writing to you and other editors because you have edited the Club Mahindra Holidays article recently.

Concern has been expressed that the article is too promotional and is about a non-notable subject. I do not necessarily agree with this, however I am concerned that unless these issues are addressed then the article may be deleted. I am therefore asking for your help in improving the article, and wish to make the following suggestions:

  • The article should avoid being a promotional vehicle for Club Mahindra: the article should adhere to Misplaced Pages's policies of neutral point of view.
  • The article should avoid being an attack on Club Mahindra: while some criticism is to be expected the article should not be an attack page.
  • Positive and negative comments about Club Mahindra should be referenced by reliable sources such as major newspapers and business magazines.
  • Controversial claims - either for or against Club Mahindra - should be discussed on the article's talk page.

Once again, apologies for disturbing you with this matter but I hope I can look forward to working with you on improving this article!

Hi
A few points:
  1. I haven't decided to put the article up on Misplaced Pages; we, as a community, have. I didn't create the article, and have barely edited it except to add references.
  2. As a community we agree to abide by the community's policies, such as WP:NPOV.
  3. Much of the criticism and praise that has appeared in the article in the past has been unreferenced.
  4. I became involved with the article when it was being used a little more than an attack page to criticise the company.
  5. I "spammed" various editors when the article's emphasis had shifted to little more than an advertisement for the company - largely unreferenced - prompting one editor to nominate the article for deletion. My intention was to encourage editors to prevent the article being deleted, by maintaining Misplaced Pages's policies.
I hope this clarifies why I contacted you.
