[edit] Speedy deletion of Elenchus (brachiopod)

A tag has been placed on Elenchus (brachiopod) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of 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.

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. —BoL @ 07:03, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Buckingham Palace

Hello - I notice all the changes you have made there. Many of the links you have added are unnecessary or inappropriate. I am going to revert you at this point because otherwise it will take me a good hour or two to check each individual link and edit it. I am also going to copy this to the talk page of the article, where your messages about your edits should go (as opposed to the talk pages of individual editors) - after all, this is a collaborative effort and many of the pages you seem to have an interest in are watchlisted or edited by many people. Thanks. Risker (talk) 00:24, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A suggestion for you

As you seem to have a genuine desire to improve the encyclopedia, and tell us that you have real life experience in editing articles, perhaps you would be interested in participating in a very useful wikiproject: The League of copy editors. There are a lot of editors who recognize that they need some help in writing articles and actively seek assistance, and your suggestions will likely be better received there than in stable, highly visible and widely watched articles.

I would urge you to modify your editing technique when you are copyediting an article. Consider opening up several tabs (or windows, depending on your browser) and checking each proposed link in a separate window before adding it to the article you are editing. Evaluate the link: does it provide useful information to the article? does it lead directly to an article as opposed to a disambiguation page? if it is a redlink, is there a genuine need for it or for the potential article? I would also recommend that you "save" your changes after every section or paragraph (for complex articles, sometimes every sentence). That makes it much easier for other editors to respond to the changes you'd like to include. As well, if you are making more than a few changes to an article, consider discussing it on the talk page before proceeding, to see if other editors agree with your plan; this is particularly important with high visibility articles, because their content is usually quite stable and/or is widely watchlisted.

I believe WP:EL provides guidance too. regards --Joopercoopers (talk) 15:27, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Esto gaza

This article Esto gaza immediately fails Wikipedia:Notability. An article about a fictional locational must have enough real-world coverage such as statements on conceptual design and critical reception and reaction. This helps it establish an encyclopedic article. If you wish, you may expand more on Esto Gaza in the Final Fantasy Wiki instead. Thank you. — Blue。 01:08, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
