Hello there! If you want your stub on Brain fingerprinting to survive, please follow the instructions on the copyvio notice and write the stub on the /Temp page. Your text is still accessible in the page history, so you can do a copy/paste to the /Temp page. If you overwrite the copyvio notice, we cannot remove only the previous infringing content, and hence your stub would be gone, too. And I don't want to do the copy/paste because then the author attribution would be wrong. Thank you. Lupo 08:04, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Daylight saving time

While we appreciate your contributions to this page, unless you can provide a verifiable source for the information you keep adding to the artice for Daylight saving time it is considered original research and in violation of Wikipedia policy. Peyna 02:06, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi, This is not supposed to be a precise scientific statement of measurement. Just common sense observation that should be quite obvious, yet vital for general criticism of DST. You might replace billions with zillions or countless or innumerous. The point is not to measure the wasted manhours. Just to state that the waste is enormous and forms the basis for calling DST in question. Stay healthy m.c.

It's still original research; if someone doing a study on DST maybe found it useful to point out that's one thing, but we don't put a note about how many man-hours are wasted each morning tying our shoes into an article about velcro shoes either. It's a poor argument at best, a straw man argument at worst, and doesn't belong on the page unless you can provide some source using it as an actual argument against DST.

It seems the waste of time is not obvious to you. So much more this should be added to enlighten others. Call it then "many people are furious with a stupid waste of time caused by DST". Is that "original research"? Do you not hear curses all around at the time-switch day? If I do not want to waste time on velcro, I give it up. DST is an unavoidable pain for many imposed by governments. Intrusion into their peaceful lives. And changing clocks in one's own mind only is a demonstratably workable solution that could help many angry people relieve their frustrations. Do you not want to help others?

[edit] Polyphasic sleep

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. While the Wikipedia community appreciates your obvious efforts to increase the amount of information on the site, we'd like to point out our policy on Original Research and not citing sources for the information you provide. Wikipedia tries to bolster its reputation by linking to reputable outside sources for the information it gets. Thank you again, JHMM13 (T | C) 20:08, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for your comment, but please do so on my talk page in the future and not my main page. Although I can't agree with your point that more unverified material won't hurt the already OR-packed article, I think I'm just going to solve this for now with an {{originalresearch}} tag. I don't know anything about the subject, so if you could verify some of those claims, it would be useful. If you would like to discuss the matter further, you can do so on the Polyphasic sleep talk page. Thanks, JHMM13 (T | C) 20:35, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Eugeroic

An editor has nominated Eugeroic, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eugeroic (2nd nomination) and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 21:00, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
