Welcome to Wikipedia. An article you recently created, The Area of Ptyxur, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new articles, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already).

[edit] AfD Nomination: The Area of Ptyxur

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but all Wikipedia articles must meet our criteria for inclusion (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Since it does not seem to me that The Area of Ptyxur meets these criteria, I have started a discussion about whether this article should be kept or deleted.

Your opinion on whether this article meets the inclusion criteria is welcome. Please contribute to the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Area of Ptyxur. Don't forget to add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of each of your comments to sign them.

Discussions such as these usually last five days. In the meantime, you are free to edit the content of the article. Please do not remove the "articles for deletion" template (the box at the top). When the discussion has concluded, a neutral third party will consider all comments and decide whether or not to delete the article. --Ginkgo100^talk 02:15, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Category:CertifiedbyanExpert and related template

Hi, I noticed you created Category:CertifiedbyanExpert and the template {{CertifiedbyanExpert}}.

These really aren't practical on Wikipedia. For starters, we have no way of knowing for certain who is "an expert" in any given field. In addition, we allow anyone to edit articles at any time, so at the moment an expert "certifies" an article - it may be correct to the best of their knowledge, but the next person who edits the article may substantially change the information, thus making the "certification" invalid.

I suggest you request the category and template be deleted. You may do so by placing a the {{db-author}} template on both the template page and the category page.

Please take some time and read our policies and guidelines, and get to know the community a bit better. I've included our standard welcome template below. You might be especially interested in discussions at the Village pump. --Versageek 03:42, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Certified by an expert template

Hello. Please see our content disclaimer - In short: Wikipedia doesn't guarantee the accuracy of the articles. At any point in time any article may be wildly wrong. It might not be a bad idea to think about something along the lines of your template, but it would need a formal process, peer verification and a way of pointing to stable versions of an article. In the meantime, to avoid the template being used to mislead our readers I've deleted it. Thank you. henrik•talk 23:37, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
