AfD nomination of Burrunjor

I have nominated Burrunjor, 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/Burrunjor. 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.

No, not really. I hate Australians, and am extremely prejudiced against them so yeah I'll give that a miss but thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Spikeesam (talk • contribs) 18:12, 4 April 2008

The convention is not to delete anybody else's comments from a debtate considering deletion of an article. Hence this edit of yours was not appropriate --Matilda ^talk 04:14, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

A friendly

Hi. I couldn't help but notice your comments at [[1]]. While I agree that the idea of deleting articles can be frustrating -- and I have plenty of issues myself relating to other policies here -- it is still bad form to violate WP:CIVIL, which I feel you have done. Name-calling and insults are not the way to handle this sort of discussion. Criticize all you want -- although there are some who feel we shouldn't have the right to complain, I feel the more people who do complain the more likely we might see some changes made. But by violating WP:CIVIL you run the risk of not only being blocked or even banned, but more importantly the point you're trying to make might be lost or even ignored. Cheers. 23skidoo (talk) 14:11, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Unsourced material

Please don't add unsourced material to articles, such as Fiordland National Park. Blogs are almost never acceptable as sources. If you are making extraordinary claims, such as the continued existence of long-extinct animals, you need particularly sound sources.-gadfium 18:30, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Opinions

The way to deal with this is to "convert opinions into facts". Instead of saying "This is the best evidence to date..", which is an opinion, say "The police stated in their report on the incident that this is the best evidence to date...", which is a fact. The WP:NPOV policy lays this out in a bit more detail. All the best, Tim Vickers (talk) 22:00, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Template:African American ethnicity, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you.  Frank  |  talk  02:03, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Gerard Way. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. ×××BrightBlackHeaven^(talk)××× 07:06, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
