This is the same info, I've put into the self-promoting [[forex teachers]] article.
I believe it should be put here and that that article should be deleted.

:The only problem I see with that is that it would leave [[forex teachers]] as a redirect to here, which is a bit extravagant. --[[User:GraemeL|GraemeL]] [[User_talk:GraemeL|<sup>(talk)</sup>]] 19:10, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

::The alternative is to list forex teachers on AfD and wait a week for it to be deleted.  Redirects are cheap and I don't think this one would be too confusing.  [[User:Eluchil404|Eluchil404]] 11:09, 27 June 2006 (UTC)



== Deprod ==

I removed the delete in 5 days notice that was put up supposedly because there is not any sources or documentation in the article.  There were lots of sources, now there are more.  I'll try to tidy things up and use the right format.  [[User:Smallbones|Smallbones]] 12:32, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

:Who do I speak with when there is a violation of the terms of Wikipedia?  Easy with the fraudster claims and the "reliable" sources you are getting, which in fact are 2 sources.  That makes it a fact?  Replublishing articles written by individuals does not make them fact.  Is Wikiepdia fact based or heresay?  I suggest we agree to delete this entry from Wikipedia.

::I'll ask some 3rd parties to explain to you how to properly list an article for deletion.  You should also check Wikipedia policies, for example on WP:reliability and WP:Living Persons.  I believe that this article is very well documented (at least the top half)as it currently stands and conforms to Wikipedia policies.  As others have attempted to edit it (and started it) it was undocumented puffery and advertisement and did violate Wikipedia policies.  [[User:Smallbones|Smallbones]] 10:10, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

==Wikification==

There are repeated attempts by smallbones to skew the facts.  I agree that this is outside of wiki guidelines.  I will move for all smallbones comments to be removed [[User:Ravestar|Ravestar]] 13:43, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

One of the problems with this article is that it was far from how a wikipedia article should be formatted. I've made an attempt at improving it per the MOS. This included footnoting the references, and consolidating external links (don't need the same link in two different places). [[User:Akradecki|Akradecki]] 16:06, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

James has been actively involved in the new initiative called Operation Homefront.  Below is the information.  I hope these types of activities continue to grow his positive reputation.

There are many amazing organizations across this nation that have mobilized to help the men and women of the military and their families. If you are regular readers of The James Dicks Magazine, you know that our company is dedicated to the nation’s military, and each month we tell you about others who help these special people in our society. I recently found an extraordinary group of people, led by a dedicated woman named Meredith Leyva, who has formed a group called Operation Homefront. 

In their own words, “Operation Homefront is a national nonprofit that provides emergency support and morale to our military troops, the families they leave behind during deployment and wounded warriors when they return home.” That in itself is a marvelous and daunting mission that often creates smiles and always offers relief to the military men and women who come into contact with this special organization.
