This article has insufficient references to justify the amount of biographical detail it contains; it might suggest Peter Kosminsky who has made a significant contribution to this article is closely related to its subject. Alistair Stevenson ( talk) 13:33, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
I'm rather new to the Wiki thing but I am confused by this tag that has appeared at the top of my page. It appears to threaten to wipe the page. That's rather draconian. Who is proposing doing this and why? Or is this even the correct space for me to ask this question?
The message says not everyone wd expect to have their own page in an encyclopaedia. That's a rather insulting remark. I warrant a page in Who's Who. Don't I warrant a page in Wiki? The one that was there before was a stub and had been a stub for quite some time, until I updated it. After I updated it, other pitched in and made further improvements; I have not sought to undo their changes. Now it is a factually accurate page with lots of cross-references and useful links for journalists who are proposing interviewing me.
Perhaps one of you Wiki-experts wd be kind enough to explain?
Best wishes

Thank you for the swift reply. This is the text posted on my talk page that prompted my question/comment:
"...I notice that one of the first articles you created appears to be an article about yourself. This is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. Your user page, however, is a great place to write about yourself, making sure to stay within user page guidelines. Just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit it normally. The page you created about yourself has been or will shortly be speedily deleted from Wikipedia..."
It's good to hear from you that there is no danger of the page being deleted. However, it is quite humiliating to have that banner right across the top of my page. Is there anything that can be done to remove it?
Best wishes

Thank you, Alistair - sorry to be so thick. I find Wiki fun but have very little understanding. I thought it better to use my own name than to masquerade! I'd be delighted to have others amend and improve the page but a number of press had commented on the fact of the stub so, one day, while watching the mixing editor doing battle with our troubled soundtrack, I decided to give it a go. I tried not to be too self-serving and really enjoyed doing it. I know press have made use of it over the last few crazy weeks.
Best wishes

Cyberbot II has detected links on Peter Kosminsky which have been added to the blacklist, either globally or locally. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed or are highly inappropriate for Wikipedia. The addition will be logged at one of these locations: local or global If you believe the specific link should be exempt from the blacklist, you may request that it is white-listed. Alternatively, you may request that the link is removed from or altered on the blacklist locally or globally. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. Please do not remove the tag until the issue is resolved. You may set the invisible parameter to "true" whilst requests to white-list are being processed. Should you require any help with this process, please ask at the help desk.
