Hi! It seems you recently created an unreferenced biography of a living person: Felice Lifshitz. Our verifiability policy requires that all content be cited to a reliable source. Please add references as soon as possible. Thanks! --LaraBot (talk) 00:10, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
List of history journals
I appreciated your idea for how to topically divide the list of history journals, rather than just an alphabetical list. I posted some questions I'm not sure how to answer yet (Talk:List of history journals#New scheme for sections). I would appreciate your input. ——Rich jj (talk) 21:17, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
Death Studies
Please make sure to reference your articles. Thanks, Ironholds (talk) 10:25, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
Journal articles
Hi, thanks for your hard work creating articles on academic journals. Presumably you get some or most of the info from their websites and it would be nice if you could include the links in your articles. Some general tips on how to write a journal article that is unlikely to be challenged by other editors can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Academic Journals/Writing guide. Happy editing! --Crusio (talk) 17:47, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
The article Franz Steiner Verlag has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- No indication of how this might meet notability guidelines. Lacks citations to significant coverage in reliable sources.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. RadioFan (talk) 00:42, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
About reading userpages...
.. Affirmative :-) Note that I noticed you making redirects to Missing Topics pages - Skysmith (talk) 09:16, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of For DYK
A tag has been placed on For DYK requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. 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. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
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 that has been nominated for deletion (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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. --Darkwind (talk) 22:17, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
- I moved this page to User:Moswento/For DYK as it properly belongs in userspace. If you no longer want it, please let me know or just tag it with {{db-userreq}}.--Kubigula (talk) 04:10, 22 April 2010 (UTC) (P.S. I read your userpage)
- I pulled the speedy tag as the content looks fine for userspace, but deleting it is no problem if you are done with it.
- I did read your userpage, but only because it was on the way to clicking from your DYK page to here. A few people have very interesting userpages, but mostly I prefer to get to know people through their edits. Other people might check them more regularly, I would not know. - 2/0 (cont.) 05:55, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
