Talk:Spite Your Face Productions

message: This posting contains factual information about a real world company. I am the director of said company, and I added the article - but this alone should not mean it be construed as advertising. It is preferable that an informed authority add an article than an uninformed one.
There are several other reasons for the validity of this article, which are detailed below:
The company in question is a small one, but one which has a strong online fan following, which links it to various other subculture articles, which would benefit from an article on this subject. 
Because of said companies fan following, there is every likelihood that other members of the community would see fit to edit the page as they might feel appropriate, in the spirit of wiki. It is also a likelihood that another member would try to re-open an article on the same subject, and that said article would be less accurate. 
Our IMDB reference, for instance, was added by a fan community member other than ourselves and is full of factual inaccuracies. It is also very difficult to edit. To avoid similar redundancies manifesting on wikipedia, I though it a valid move to add our own entry.
Furthermore, existing articles and wiki's, such as the Lego article and Brickfilms wiki, already contain information about said company that is inaccurate or vague - and the existance of this article would clear up ambiguities thereon.
Finally, the intention of this article, far from being 'blatant advertising' is to clarify various commonly stated internet myths. Whether or not our films have been officially licensed by Lego, how this relationship works, and also whether or not we were involved in the White Stripes 'Fell in Love with a Girl' video - are all commonly misunderstood, and misinformation on these subjects abounds. It should be the place of wikipedia to host clear unambiguous information about such matters.
If any of you monitoring types would like to suggest specifically, which sections or lines of information may offend, I will be happy to comply in editing or removing them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Spiteyourface (talk • contribs) 
* The best way to have an article about your company is to allow this version to be deleted and then wait until someone with no conflict of interest, typically an established Wikipedia editor, writes the company up. -- RHaworth 13:06, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I stick by view. We need a person with no COI to create the article to establish that the company is notable - then by all means, you can come along and correct any errors of fact. You have not provided any "references" - where are the links to third-party articles, news media, etc. about your company. You claim to have an IMDb page - so where is the link to it? -- RHaworth 15:34, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

message: The tag concerning attributable sources has been removed, since every effort to attribute sources where possible, has been made since the initial complaint. I could not find any reference that the removal of this tag was unlawful or against policy. If it was, I apologise. Hopefully the article is sufficiently verivied now to proceed without a large tag - and that others can continue to add or edit citation on a case by case basis. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 194.217.231.252 (talk) 16:00, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
