[edit] Please wikify
Dear editor, welcome to Wikipedia and thanks for your recent contributions. I would like to ask you, however, to format your new articles according to Wikipedia style and include links to other articles in your new additions. Also, you might want to add stub tags to smaller articles, making it easier for other editors to find and improve your new additions. Happy editing! ---Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 12:22, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Welcome!
Welcome! I noticed your comment on Saint Caesarius of Arles. Many of Wikipedia articles are taken without much updating from much older encyclopedias. Sometimes that means that they are actually very outdated. I always take any article which says that it was taken from the Catholic Encyclopedia or the 1911 Encyclopedia Brittanica (sp) with a very large grain of salt, especially if it hasn't been edited much by other people. If you have the resources and will to fix up such articles, you are encouraged to. Frankly, I find these articles to be very frustrating, since sometimes they contain very outdated information, and information which is presented as fact which is little better than myth. You'd be helping Wikipedia and other curious people if you could update articles. I hope you enjoy your time here, and feel free to ask me any questions you might have.

[edit] R G C Levens
You have recently re-created the article R G C Levens, which was deleted in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policies. Please do not re-create the article. If you disagree with the article's deletion, you may ask for a deletion review. --stephenw32768<talk> 19:48, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] SEERI
SEERI has been proposed for deletion. An editor felt this organization or company might not yet be notable enough for an article. Please review Wikipedia:Notability (companies and corporations) for the relevant guidelines. If you can improve the article to address these concerns, please do so.
If no one objects to the deletion within five days by removing the prod notice, the article may be deleted without further discussion. If you remove the prod notice, the deletion process will stop, but if an editor is still not satisfied that the article meets Wikipedia guidelines, it may be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion for consensus.

[edit] Charles Dowsett
I came across this article while Wikifying today, and saw your comments on the talk page about notability. I didn't put the notability tag on this article, but my guess is that it's there because the article is extremely short (only two sentences) and not referenced. If you have more material on the subject, please add it (and cite your sources). RedRollerskate 05:20, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] P g westlake
A tag has been placed on P g westlake, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Before attempting to recreate this page I should be grateful to know where the earlier article has gone----Clive Sweeting Ps A restored and slightly increased article has been deleted without any apparent reason being given or a discussion of suitability----Clive Sweeting
[edit] Little context in Bishop of Raphoe
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Bishop of Raphoe, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Bishop of Raphoe is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Bishop of Raphoe, 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.

[edit] A request
Clive, can you take a look at Wikipedia style? The additions you're making to Bishop of Raphoe and other articls are useful, but it would also help if you could format your text so that it fits with the style of the article and Wikipedia editing standards -- thanks!!! -- ArglebargleIV 11:40, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Speedy deletion of Gwynno james
A tag has been placed on Gwynno james requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the 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. αѕєηιηє t/c 14:48, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] AfD nomination of Gwynno james
I have nominated Gwynno james, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gwynno james. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. αѕєηιηє t/c 16:02, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] April 2008
Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia! I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article, John Morgan (bishop). While Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments are more appropriate for the article's accompanying talk page. If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and respond to them and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article. Thank you.

[edit] Restoration of John Morgan (bishop)
Hi there. I saw you recreated the article with comments instead of content. I've restored the article's last good version, then added tags to address the concerns held. Please read these concerns carefully. Most importantly is the concern of notability. Morgan must pass the criteria for notability or he will not be able to keep on as an article. This may include the Welsh version as well. My recommendation to you is to read the tags on the article carefully and address the concerns as quickly as possible. I will tag with {{inuse}} so that you can work on it for a while without it being tagged for speedy deletion before you're finished. Any questions, feel free to drop me a line on my talk page. Cheers and happy editing! - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 11:48, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Dean of Llandaff
Hi Clive. I have restored this article and tidied it up. If you add "wikilinks" to notable people, places or concepts in articles you create (ie, [[London]] rather than London produces London) it will allow people to get a sense of context for the articles. Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia - I am sorry you had to navigate Deletion Review! Neıl ☎ 15:00, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
