Marlene A. Eilers Koenig

Regarding Marlene A. Eilers Koenig, you might want to post something at the Administrator's notice board Uberaccount (talk) 03:36, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Actually, better would be to check WP:Autobiography; it has guidance for how a subject should handle articles written by others about them. —C.Fred (talk) 03:37, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, maybe you could provide a photograph? See WP:IMAGES for how to release a photograph. Barney the barney barney (talk) 18:55, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

You are mentioned in the Emmelie de Forest article too Marlene.--BabbaQ (talk) 13:54, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

My guess is the person who created the Emmelie de Forest created mine ... I AM NOT PROVIDING ANY INFORMATION .. OR A PHOTOGRAPH. I want the bio removed .. it says very little. It was done without my permission. I am not a public figure. Your own policy states that non public figures have the right to be removed. Moreover, I have no desire to be associated with Wikipedia. It is not a reliable source for information. Please, please remove me. Respect my wishes.

The article Marlene A. Eilers Koenig was created by User:Vinson wese on 6 April 2013. Actually the reliability of Wikipedia in several studies is generally good, particularly on more popular subjects, and is no doubt better for having cited your original research. You may however, have a better chance of deleting yourself if you (a) come across as less antagonistic towards the work of Wikipedia editors who are donating their free time to do this, mostly because they enjoy it, and who understand the subtleties of the reliability issues apparently better than you do (b) instead cite a genuine reasons for deleting (i.e. lack of notability and/or lack of coverage) (c) try to appear less hypocritical as you seem to write about people you're interested in who otherwise would not be notable, and probably fail Wikipedia's WP:NOTINHERITED essay (I guess various random Germans who are towards the bottom end of the line of succession to the British Throne).

By the way, if you are American, the word is toward. Towards is British English. I have asked nicely. I have said Please. I have begged to be removed. I am a professional researcher. Sorry, I am not interested in what you do in your free time. I asked to be removed. I am not a public person. I do not wish to be associated with this site. My students are not even permitted to use or cite this site. The material on my blog comes straight from the news sources of the day ... No one should be forced to have a Wikipedia entry if they do not wish to be. Moreover, the article does not include complete information -(and I am not going to provide it. I wrote better bio sketches when I worked for a news organization. . Please remove me. It is my wish and my request. I am not a public official. Thanks....

Well I was attempting to offer you advice as to achieve your aims. To summarise, Wikipedia editors do not need your permission to write about you, just as you don't need permission to write about other people. Wikipedia does not just cover public officials. You have yet to provide and focus on the key issue (which I have just told you would be lack of notability and/or lack of coverage). And some humility and understanding of WP:CONSENSUS might also help. I will ignore the grammar flame - see wikt:towards. By the way, your students will use Wikipedia, even if they don't tell you.

Wikipedia does have a policy about deleting people who are not public people and who wish to be deleted. You are violating my right to not be included. From my perspective, the article is very weak, not even a complete biography, let alone everything I have had published or education or background ... Do you not know what the word "please" means. I am angry that someone I do not know chose to write about me without my permission. I am sure it was meant to be positive, but I do not see it that way ... I asked please remove me .. that's an obvious declaration. I have the right to say that I do not wish to be associated with Wikipedia. I did not even want to register, but it was the only way to communicate. thanks

1. Wikipedia does have a policy on deleting biographies of persons who are either (1) not notable or (2) not covered by reliable sources, however, it doesn't have a policy on not including biographies because the subject doesn't like Wikipedia.
2. The "please" at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Marlene A. Eilers Koenig is somewhat drowned out by the "Remove me NOW. No debate. I have the right to be excluded" and the rest of it...
3. I think it is fair to say that most Wikipedia users are at least vaguely familiar with Wikipedia's policies and would not associate you with you creating/editing your own biography (which isn't supposed to be allowed), or indeed your approval or disapproval of it (which simply isn't necessary).

As the person who wrote this entry knows very little about me - not even my full name or my education or complete works, career, etc., I can state categorically that the biography is not accurate or current. I also think that you would not want someone who loathes Wikipedia - from the professional aspect that you do not hire professional experts nor do you pay for entries ... exploitation. No staff of librarians or researchers to check facts, etc. I'd be embarrassed if I wrote such a pitiful entry. Whatever happened to respecting someone wishes and request. If the situation were reversed, I would have hit the delete button at the first request. This has been going on for a week now. I am disappointment by the lack of respect, regardless of how I feel about Wikipedia, to grant my request.

Yes, most Wikipedia articles are written (and checked) by volunteers. It is, I suggest, your lack of respect for these people that is more of the problem here. Wikipedia doesn't allow original research, but information can be taken from reliable sources. The best editors know where and how to access those resources, and they will be checked, they are in effect librarians or researchers, checking facts. Barney the barney barney (talk) 21:40, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

All of this is not relevant. I would be deeply grateful for you to remove my entry. It's not very good, it is not current or even completely accurate. If I were you I would demand payment for your work.

I agree it is irrelevant but you brought up the subject in the first place. Regarding payment, I'd love to get paid to do this. Unfortunately if the fees paid by the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography are anything to go by, they won't pay the mortgage or feed the kids.

Elisabeth of Romania

Before you make any further editing to this page, please contact the House of Hohenzollern-Sigmarigen and speak with the source of confirmation of the marriage of Dmitri Pavlovich and Elisabeth of Romania. Elisabetha was also by Dmitri's side at Davos.

History is always changing when time moves forward. I am the biographer for Ana Romanova. If you have questions I suggest you contact Sigmarigen. I am saving you looking up that information to save time. http://www.hohenzollern.com/beteiligungen/slg-baumaerkte.php
