Břetislav Staš-geophysic

Dear Graeme, thanks for your message. You have proposed article Břetislav Staš for deletion due to lack of references. I have just added 3 references. Regards - Tuan N.

Dear Graeme

I have edited my article as per instruction by you at the top of my article. It is still been deleted. GREedge is one of the good learning provider for GRE aspirants for online. I request you to kindly reconsider restoring our article.

Dear Graeme,

I have posted/submitted my article once again as per your instruction N aresh Sonee & B rhmaand Pujan . As my request, please find time, (as a good faith in you) check,edit,improve again the same before it may be subjected for deletion for one or other reason. Your good self without informing me can delete all over written /vague material on it, if you find there . Kindly do the needful . Regards - Alan Sun.

Your goodness help for N aresh Sonee page

Dear Graeme, I want to recreate a page on Naresh Sonee who pose an important character in India. N aresh Sonee contributiion of thoughts are more important to readers than my command on English. His page formed by me was deleted by your goodself in past. However I request you to help me out generously by giving your 'expert final touch' as per your requirements and ethics. Please spare your precious time and correct my article when ever you find it on post. I need your goodself to finally edit N aresh Sonee page that could finally settle down for Wikipedia. However, N aresh sonee rough page will be posted/created by me soon. When you read , kindly help me out by editing it. With regards, -Alan Sun-

Thank u very much Graeme,to answer me quick, clearing all of my doubts.If so, meanwhile I request your esteemed to please reopen/recreate a page with your own hands on N aresh Sonee again, so that I can repost my matter on same and try to paste connection of third sources web pages or otherwise as your good self say. I have some Indian News papers reviews & news along book script in Hindi language. Could I scan them in photograph and post some of those on the 'namepage' in question. Well, This I can do by creating or giving a website link also if wikipedia do not allow extra pages.However, I will also try to establish web links of third sources as they are already on internet. Dear Graeme, needless to say that I will need your final blessing help to edit all after I roughly post the same, after you recreate the 'name page' in question.Cos yet I am not expert like your good self to operate wikipedia. You as my wikipidia GURU help me out please to enter in box/bold/frames. God bless you & Thanks you over all in anticipation. - Alan Sun- —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dralansun (talk • contribs) 13:38, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Dr Alan Sun It looks like you now have your own Wikipedia logon. This means that you can now create the article yourself. Just click on N aresh Sonee to create. Your original text is still at Wikipedia:Articles_for_creation/2006-07-27#N aresh_Sonee. Click the show button, or edit link to see the content. Please respect the copyright. For example scanning pictures from recent newspapers is not acceptable, as the photographer would own the copyright, and would retain the rights. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:07, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you again Graeme to reply me swift. Just now i clicked on your given link (N aresh Sonee) -Yes there is a page.Good to find that, it is still alive. but there is a request for you,from my side- Kindly edit the same when ever I post on it. you have the right to remove what ever you deem fit,only see that the information or substance do not get lost.If ever you see something vague please remove it. I am still not expert to use or connent frames,blocks, brackets, punctuations etc. If you see any wrong language kindly correct them. with sincere regards- Alansun

Notability of Christopher Stringini page

Hello, I am not done editing this page that I just started 2 hours ago. It is snowing in my geographical area, and I have had internet connection errors.I don't think that tag was fair, not at this stage!!! Just Because you did that, apparently it collided with my most recent edit, and it erased 1/2 of the data I just tried to post. Now I have to collect it all again. Thank you very much for listening to my vent, I hope you will check the time of the last edit before you decide to put such a tag on a new page... perhaps put a "watch" on the page before you decide to do so.Sincerely , Jesangel (talk) 06:00, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I was a bit steamed about seeing all the other stuff disappear before my eyes! And Thank you for your advice, Jesangel (talk) 06:53, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sources for Darwin Glass

Hello. Good work on Darwin Glass, and thanks for the contribution. However, you did not provide any references or sources in the article. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and as you might be aware there is currently a push to encourage editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. Can you list in the article any websites, books, or other sources that will allow people to verify the content in Darwin Glass? You can simply add links, preferably as inline citations, or see citation templates for different citation methods. Thanks! Shawnc 11:53, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sources for Darwin Glass now added

I have added text about the sources I used. But I am not sure how to format yet.

Kambah and Welcome

Hi Graeme. I notice you have been improving our article on Kambah. One thing I might point out is that you have been creating red links for many less notable features of the Kambah area. Please do not create wikilinks for subjects that are not notable enough to deserve their own articles. Things like creeks and smaller non-notable hills should probably not be linked. I would also question if every swimming hole on the Murrumbidgee is deserving of an article. Generally if these less notable subjects are to be mentioned they can be included in a part of a larger article. For example you could write a paragraph on Kambah Pool in the Kambah article.

Anyway I notice no one has officialy welcomed you to wikipedia yet, so let me copy and paste my stock welcome message to you which might provide some useful links while learning the ropes here at wikipedia.

Welcome!

Response

Hi Martyman, thanks for the welcome. I have taken on your suggestion and taken out those red links. If some one else wants to write the article on them they can link it in. In some of my other changes I have left the red links in because I plan to write an article on the topic. GB 06:03, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cool, thanks for not taking my comments to wrong way. I just realised you may not have noticed the Canberra Wikiproject yet. If you are interested in helping fill out wikipedia's content in relation to Canberra you should drop past. Essentially it is just a central place for discussion and to focus attention and define guidelines. We have managed to get several Canberra articles up to Wikipedia's featured article standard: Lake Burley Griffin, Canberra, Yarralumla and History of the Australian Capital Territory. --Martyman-(talk) 07:53, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Geology additions

I really like all the geology additions. I do hope you get to Red Hill soon :-) See my awful attempts at Red_Hill,_Australian_Capital_Territory#Geology, which were taken from other sources but I really understand very little of it.--A Y Arktos 10:41, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You have been busy addign a lot of good information. One thing about the additions though is the last sentence you have been adding "Natural History of the Australian Capital Territory covers more of the geology of the ACT" reads like a self reference to me. See: WP:SELF. I think the additions would be better with the last sentence removed. --Martyman-(talk) 11:04, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Technically it is probably not an explicit self refernce but it stands out as strange in that it is a sentence intended purely to link to another aritcle. Normally such links are made by highlighting existing text or though "See Also" or some other section with a list of links. Maybe I am just being picky though. --Martyman-(talk) 11:12, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

entry.

I have info for all the suburbs outside of Gungahlin, for which my maps are out of date. On Red Hill I thought that A Y's information was quite readable, so I suppose I should just try to make it more accurate. What I have been trying to do is summarise where what rocks are in each suburb, plus other major Geological features. Martyman -- how do you suggest I reference the Natural History of the Australian Capital Territory? I don't want to repeat too much detail so I want to put common information in this entry. This is the chance to get it looking better before we have to go back and change every one!

I don't know, all I know is it doesn't read right the way it is at the moment. Maybe you could add one of the folowing templates to the top of the geology section (below the heading above the text):

I think "see also" is the more appropriate one. Of course for it to be appropriate at all the natural history article should contain more info than the information included in the suburb articles. At them moment it is mostly something I slapped together from text from a few seperate articles. --Martyman-(talk) 11:30, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

To add the template include the text {{See also|Natural History of the Australian Capital Territory}} --Martyman-(talk) 11:31, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just realised the example I included was via a template redirect. It is fixed now (added a space). --Martyman-(talk) 11:49, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your seealso with no space seemed to work just fine, should I really be adding the space? I tried it out on Red Hill. GB 11:56, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The thing is that "Seealso" is a redirect to "See also" so it will work fine. It is just technically better to use the actual template rather than a redirect. --Martyman-(talk) 21:17, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Once again - thanks again for all the great work on geology around the ACT - it is terrific to see. Regards--A Y Arktos 10:20, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

Hi! I just wanted to remind you that good grammar, and overall proofreading are important in making an encyclopedia look professional. We appreciate all articles, even if they contain grammar errors, but error-free articles are even better. Books like Eats, Shoots & Leaves discuss grammar principles in a fun way. Or, perhaps some of your biological articles would belong better in http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Dichotomous_Key or http://www.wikispecies.org instead where they might get more attention to grammar by others interested in taxonomy? Cheers, --unforgettableid | talk to me 13:17, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello unforgettableid,

Do you have a particular article that needs improving? I have found that Ediacaria is not good looking - I will fix it up. I am sticking to groups of organisms in my articles rather than going to the level of species, so I think they are inarrpropriate for wikispecies.

The Ediacaran fossils are especially significant as they represent the start of animal evolution. That in mind I am quite willing to fix the grammer - if you point me at the mistakes!

Lam Tin

Thanks for giving a B to Lam Tin, which is quite a recognition of my work. In fact, the article is under a series of expansion by me following my reading a number of newly published books about Hong Kong's history. After I've completed the work yer welcome to re-rate my article see whether it can go up to GA or even be put to FA. --Der yck C. 09:12, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Since there are a lot of both general and specific references/footnotes, shall I break the footnotes section into two, one for footnotes containing support for specific statements, and the other for general references? (like Hong Kong?) --Der yck C. 14:57, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm working on it now. I'll use this criterion for separation: For references concerning facts, eg "Lam Tin is made up of granite", I'll move them out of the footnotes and into the references. For speculations or POV statements, eg "looks like maggots", I'll keep the footnotes. --Der yck C. 05:21, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lead-rich stars

Hi,

at Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Science#Gravitational_effect_of_planetary_size.2Fdensity you've written that there are some stars whose main metal is lead. That is something new to me.

Lam Tin again

Thanks for telling me the meaning of the original "attention needed" mark. BTW earlier I went to the government map shop and bought the newest revision (1999) of "Geological Map of Hong Kong". It actually had Lam Tin dated in the Cretaceous. --Der yck C. 07:11, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hong Kong Granite comes from both Jurassic and Cretaceous. Lion Rock and Cheung Chau Suites come from Cretaceous; Kwai Chung and Lamma Suites come from Jurassic. Granite on the Island are all in Lion Rock Suite. --Der yck C. 08:05, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can you help me with this article? He was a famous naval hero, as can be seen on both he Frisian and the Dutch wikipedia, and that way deserves an article on wikipedia!!! Murlock 10:18, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, okay

I thought it was just another link (there were many) used by a sockpuppeter to sneak another hoax article in. In that case, feel free to restore it, and my apologies (note Murlock, just above, was one of his socks). Best, Neil (►) 22:31, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. If you are going to recreate the Haring Harinxma article, please make sure it's not identical to the deleted version, and it's referenced. Neil (►) 22:39, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I would be very careful using the content of the Dutch or Frisian wikipedias as your only source - the articles on those wikis seem similarly unreferenced, although I have no ability to check who did or didn't create the pages over there. Neil ╦ 16:37, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Darwin Glass

Excellent and thank you - have been meaning to find someone to help and improve the article for ages and you have - I have some glass as I used to live in Queenstown in the past.

Hi,

The article on the Ediacaran biota has been nominated to become a featured article — I seem to remember you dabbling with it in it at an early stage of its development, and I'm sure your name keeps cropping up on articles I get involved in!

Lam Tin and award

Poseidon

Thank you for your feedback on this article, as this is the first major item I have done in Wiki, and I can use this feedback for other articles I am working on.

The details of Poseidon's date of death is already in the first line of the item, and details of his trainer can be found both in the summary section and the info box. I am getting information together to create stubs for his jockey, owner and trainer.

Also, I have a photo of Poseidon that I would like to use, but I need some feedback in regards to where I can find info about copyright and fair use on wiki. Is there a page that you could direct me to??

Many thanks - MagicFlute1983 04:58, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for the info about the pictures - it's greatly appreciated. And don't worry about the fact that you missed the date of death details, etc. With the number of documents that are around and that you would be either reviewing or working on things could be easily missed.

Your edits to Europa (moon)

Hey Graeme, you were correct to revert the changes to Europa because the general rule of thumb is that users shouldn't change spelling to suit their own country's English spelling. However, I just wanted to point out that all the changes made by AtikuX to the spelling in Europa were consistent with UK, Australian and New Zealand English, including the spelling of sulphur. Sulfur is the American English spelling.--Just James ^T/C 01:40, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Venue suggestion needed for a meet-up in Yuen Long

Dear: Graeme Bartlett/archive 1 ：

In the past meet-ups, we always had our meeting in the centre of Kowloon, either Kowloon Tong or Mong Kok. However, apart from these places, I am sure that alternative venues in other region would be suitable.

This is the time for your suggestion! According to some discussion on Chinese Wikipedia, from August of 2007, the Hong Kong Wikimedians’ meet-up would be held in all districts of Hong Kong in a circulation basis.

Here is the tentative information of the first meet-up：

Date：11, August, 2007 (Saturday)

Time：After 5:00pm

Proposed region：Yuen Long

The community would request for ideas of where we should hold the meet-up , in order to have a better decision. If you have any good ideas, don’t hesitate to give your opinions, million thanks!

Please don't hesitate to give your good suggestion to us

Regards,

Hong Kong Wikimedian

AFC for Gotham, Wisconsin

Thanks for creating the article on Gotham, Wisconsin. I have driven through it several times, and I verify that it is real. It's not just the crossing of two roads - it has some substance.

You left a note on the drive page: "Should we be subtracted for articles that are speedy deleted?"

Part of an AFC Editor's job is cleanup

If an AFC submission is likely to be [[WP:PROD]ded or WP:SPEEDY-deleted, it's the AFC editor's job to either reject the article, post it and improve it immediately, or post it with the {{underconstruction}} tag with a note on the talk page saying you will improve the article within a certain small number of days. By the way, using {{afc inuse}} or {{inuse}} or one of the other inuse templates will usually keep the new-article-patrollers from speedy-deleting your article. Sadly it doesn't always work. Inuse tags shouldn't be kept up for more than a few hours, they mean "I'm working on this article right now, so don't mess with it because our edits may conflict." {{Underconstruction}} is preferred if you aren't actively editing the article right this instant. BTW thanks again for your hard work. If you'd been doing this since 7/15 you would've done well over 1000 reviews, leaving the rest of us in the dust :). davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 14:16, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your illustration!

		The Ediacaran Barnstar
		Just wanted to thank you for your splendid and extremely speedy illustration of Swartpuntia. You've dispelled all cynicism I had about the effectiveness of the "Image request" template! I don't suppose you could be tempted to turn your talents to any of the other hoardes of unillustrated Ediacarans? Thanks a lot, Verisimilus T 12:46, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, great stuff, thanks! I always feel that for a group of critters that are quite so bizarre, a good image is far better than a paragraph of text at exciting the imagination! The main article Ediacaran biota is currently in the queue for the main page, so it'd be nice to have as many articles as possible illustrated when the spike of interest comes along... Keep up the good work. Verisimilus T 12:58, 19 August 2007 (UTC) (P.S. access to papers containing original images is easily arranged if helpful.)[reply]

Thanks for creating my articles

I noticed that under Article One, there is mention of a band from London, Ontario. Did you add this? If you did so intentionally, then thank you; however, if the band was added by somebody else then let's keep it there only if it's notable. 69.143.80.200 01:50, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect of Birches head high

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Birches head high, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Birches head high is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Birches head high, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Affiliate Marketing - Good Article Renomination?!

Hi Graeme, several people were going over the article to affiliate marketing and checked the article regarding grammar, style and content. Some editors that are knowledge about the subject and others that are not and looked more at the language and how the article was written. Here is the diff [4] which includes the edits made between the time you rejected the nomination (July 12) for good article and today (two months later). I wanted to check with you first, before I renominate the article, if you think that it would be a good idea or not. Thank you. --roy<sac> ^Talk! .oOo. 09:03, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Thanks for checking the article once more. I addressed and/or commented all your points made at Talk:Affiliate_marketing#Review. I hope that will do. Cheers! --roy<sac> ^Talk! .oOo. 14:34, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WP:AFC for yesterday

Hi Graeme (sorry I spelled your name wrong in edit summary lol) I just wanted to let you know I had to revert your last edits, because when closing the Moroccan Interior Design submission, it somehow removed the 18 entries following, and some were not closed yet. (I've had that happen to me, so it seems like a common bug/issue). Sorry! ^Ariel♥Gold 00:49, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I usually close first, then go in and remove copyvios, or I've noticed that problem too. And thanks for not getting mad at me for doing that! lol. ^Ariel♥Gold 01:14, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for taking care of that submission I'd reviewed, and was unable to really find any good sources for. While admittedly, most AFC cases are cut and dry, this one could have been one of those that did have sources out there, which I just couldn't find due to a variety of issues. So, thanks for closing that and agreeing that it was not notable per the guidelines. ^Ariel♥Gold 06:53, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

terahertz radiation

Are you disargeeing with my masters degree at Physics? 89.242.199.93 19:35, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I took out your change to Terahertz radiation because your change to the caption for the image did not match the comments on the image. Also 5 THz is 60 micrometers, so your wavelength is inconsistent with your frequency. If you think that your change is correct, can you please edit the description on the image and put an edit summary, and supply a reference that would support the change? Vandals often change numbers, so if a change happens without explanation (eg a source reference) or a summary, I would think it was vandalism. No need to have a qualification competition, you could well be lying! Its the verifiability that we are talking about here. Graeme Bartlett 22:38, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Physica B

I gather you inserted this article for an ip. As i see you are one of those very helpful people responding to WP:Requested articles, I imagine that the request came from there? Was the ip address editor by any chance someone related to Elsevier? I rather doubt it, because the publication information and name of the company is not quite the current form the company uses, and I have adjusted the links accordingly. I am the others at the WikiProject Academic Journals are delighted to have more articles on scientific journals--I wish we could cover as many of the significant journals as possible. There is some more material to add, such as the journals infobox, but it will get done. Thanks. DGG (talk) 04:42, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your support of the article, and the comments, however, the suggestion of a diagram - is that a suggestion of a map of the school. If not, what would the diagram be of. If so, would it be alright for me to scan the one currently in my school diary, and release under Fair Use or into public domain.

Pier Gerlofs Donia

On the talk page of Pier Gerlofs Donia's article (aka Grutte Pier, you said you had a backup of the Arumer Black Heap article, and that you could re-add it on another non-wikipage. That sounded interesting, according to me, but as I didn't responded to your suggestion for nearly a month (a rather long wikibreak), I thought you might have forgotten it. -The Bold Guy- 14:42, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

State geological article requests

Hi. I honestly expected wikipedia to have full detailed articles on Geology by state e.g Geology of California or Geology of Utah. I'm not even from the States but I had fully expected a detailed article on each state. Some of the American geological articles are very poor or non existent see Basic geologic features of each state. PLease could your project aim to start these articles and develop them.

Peter Thaborita

The Frisian monk and historian Petrus Thaborita wrote much about historical people, and especially those from Frisia, as he was a Frisian himself. He also wrote something about the death of Grutte Pier, what I recently found on the Dutch wikipedia:

Over de dood van Grote Pier:

In dat ſelue iaer van 20 ſoe is gheſtoruen groet Pyer, op ſinte Lucas nacht. Van deeſe Pier was grote ſpraeck in Hollant, in Brabant ende in ander landen, van ſin grote ſtercheit ende gruwelicheit, ende van ſin grote oghen; ende ſy maectent groter dant was; mer noch tans wasſet een groet, ſwaert, man mit grote oghen, grote ſchouwer ende een groten baert, ende gruweliken van aenſyen, ſonderlingh als hy toernich was; ende hy was grof ende plompt van ſpraeck ende weſen; want hy en conſte nyet bequam ſpreken voert recht ofte voer heeren; mer mit ſin groue Fryeſche ſlaghen quaem hy mede vort, ende dat ghyngh hem alſoe plomp of, dat alle menſchen, die daer by ſtonden, worden beweghen tot lachgen; ende hy was froem ende fel op die vianden, mer hy was redelyk van herten als een Kerſten man.

Speedy deletion of Jesús Amigo

A tag has been placed on Jesús Amigo requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. jonny-mt^(t)_(c)Tell me what you think! 06:28, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: your comment to the article to be created: Martin Page (author)

While you may feel the prize is not notable, it is factual and certainly notable to those who awarded the prize, not only those who receive it. It is an important award in the field of education, especially in encouraging young readers to expand their boundaries by reading whole books outside their principal language.

Furthermore, this comment is for the discussion page once the article is added to wikipedia and should not hinder the article's creation in itself. I would appreciate the article being created as this author's works are well respected, well received, and are bestsellers. He is an artist with much promise.

There is also the issue of the clear disambiguation.

Please remove your comment and approve the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.72.53.149 (talk) 06:12, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:WikiProject Frisians

I think it is great you took the initiative in creating the Wikiproject Frisians. I really hope we make something out of it. First we are going to need more support. Best way to do that might be to enhance the page and approach every Frisian here. (I have noticed you have approached a few already) The project is quite orphaned at the moment, sth to pay attention to as well.

I was thinking of renaming it Wikiproject:Friesland. That would comply with the rest of the Wikiprojects. Did you name it Frisians because Frisian is also spoken in Saterland? As a Frisian I can tell you we do not really have much in common with them.

Shall we discuss anything further on the project discussion page? Thanks again.Baldrick90 (talk) 13:00, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Joseph Morelle

A tag has been placed on Joseph Morelle, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable.
