It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on a biased choice of users' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote—in order to influence Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Trevor Chan (2nd nomination). While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. Thank you.

- Thank you for the note, Whpq, and for bringing this to my attention. I was completely unaware of such a canvassing guideline. There are so many rules in Wikipedia that are not common by real-world standards. I actually found it very weird that sending a friendly message to you notifying about the 2nd AfD would violate the rule, as I didn't persuade you to vote to keep or delete. Having said that a rule is a rule, I'll make sure to review WP:CANVASS and apply it carefully going forward.
- I certainly didn't intend to violate it or sway the discussion in any direction. That said, would it be possible to modify or replace the message I posted on your talk page to bring it into line with Wikipedia's standards? I'd be happy to do so if that would help resolve this.
