Speedy deletion nomination of Clifford Witcher edit

 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Clifford Witcher 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 important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Osarius : T : C : Been CSD'd? 13:12, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

Deletion edit

The article had been tagged by another editor as failing the notability guidelines. Although I have seen worse (you had one reference), basically we know only one thing about him, and usually one fact isn't enough to establish notability. We don't know his nationality (although the context suggests he may be American), date of birth (or death if he isn't still living), what his role in the development was, what his academic or technical background was... nothing really. We have one sentence giving one vague fact. If that's all there is, he's not notable. If you can beef up the article to make a proper entry with more refs, that would be great. Deleted text follows.

Clifford Witcher was a blind electrical engineer at the Research Laboratory of Electronics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is noted for his role in developing the electronic eye.[1]

Asks for your opinion for Maidashi ryokuchi. edit

How do you do? My name is Hot cake syrup, I read your article Glover Garden with considerable interest, thank you.
Maidashi ryokuchi is proposed deletion, but I think it is to leave over. The reason is that the park is not famous, but it has substantial implication for the Fukuoka's modern history. And in Wikipedia there are too few articles for Japanese garden. If your concurrence on my opinion, please note your comment on Talk:Maidashi ryokuchi.

translation help for National Archives edit

You may have heard of me, Im User:Thelmadatter an English teacher in Mexico. I have been working on a couple of WP related things at my school and I have yet a new project. The high school side of my campus has an International Baccalaureate and students in that have to do a project each semester. IB is very interested in having students work with Wikipedia. I see you need translation work for the National Archives and Im wondering if you would be interested in setting something up between us to have these students work on translating from English to Spanish. We would have to do a fair amount of structuring as they are younger and with zero experience, but it can mean a large number of man/hours towards the project. For the students, its a chance to collaborate with a foreign institution.

Hope you like the idea! Thelmadatter (talk) 19:16, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Letterism edit


John Granville Woolley, Civic Sermons, 1911:

"The ignorant, dogmatic letterist may groan over the 'apostate church' and watch for the Lord to dishonor her and stultify Himself; but there is no 'apostate church.' The crowd that puts on its best clothes on Sunday and goes to meeting, the aggregate of the parish censuses, is not the church. But in that, there is the old, true church, unscathed and undiscouraged. She has held up Christ, straight through the centuries, and the crowd has come to her with many aims and many isms and many sins


Ernst Hofer, The Lariat, 1923 - "Greek letterism"


Richard M Edwards, Scriptural Perspicuity in the Early English Reformation in Historical Theology

The Antiochenes (literalist) opposed the Alexandrian School's (letterist) interpretive methodology founded on the Greek/Jewish allegorical interpretive methodology.


Mal Couch, Russell Penney An introduction to classical evangelical hemeneutics: a guide to the history

"Following the Babylonian captivity, the Jewish rabbis fell into the quasi-worship of even the letters of scripture, adopting 'letterism' as a springboard to allegorization and spiritualization. They committed the sin about which Paul later wrote: 'The letter kills, but the spirit gives life'. (2 Cor 3:6). To their credit, not all the rabbis fell into letterism or, later, allegory".


Erica W. Townsend, Papers for the V. Congress of Southeast European Studies, Belgrade, Sep 1984 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.251.255.14 (talk) 11:29, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

N. D. Ahuja, The essence and the fragrance, 1975

"However, 'legalism' (fiqak) and 'letterism' (tafsir) engulfed the teachings of the Prophet with lapse of time and the Esseence of God-Realization was, to a great extent, lost in the cob-webs created by Ulema-i-su ie the self-seeking "

Speedy deletion nomination of Battle of Cardal edit

 

A tag has been placed on Battle of Cardal, 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 no content to the reader. Please note that external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article don't count as content. Moreover, please add more verifiable sources, not only 3rd party sources. 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.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this:   which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the article's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay.

new articles edit

Please be a little more careful with your new articles--you certainly have enough experience to do them well when you take the trouble. Supportive selling environment was missing the really essential link--perhaps because the word was mis-spelled, and could certainly have used a wider array of sources.

For Wincenty Aksamitowski you translated the first sentence only. This is not really considered good practice now, so i filled the military career in a little fro the French article & the Google translation of the Polish--please check that I got it right & did not misinterpret.

For Clare Melford you used only primary sources--which is not consider acceptable for a bio of a living person. I quickly found 2 third party sources for the early part of her career--had I not been able to do so, I would have had to list it for WP:BLP PROD

Open Education Practices also has no third party sources. I've marked it for a merge to Open Educational Resources--it seems very closely related.

You are working mainly in a subject area that is much neglected at Wikipedia-- this gives you a special obligation to be accurate and complete, because few other editors here will work on the articles. We need these areas, and we need them done right. DGG ( talk ) 00:12, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

Your contributed article, James Hakewell edit

 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, James Hakewell. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - James Hakewill. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at James Hakewill - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. MJ94 (talk) 18:23, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
