Welcome!

Hello, Drbarrywheeler, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Meridian Valley Lab, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of Meridian Valley Lab

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Meridian Valley Lab, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. You may also 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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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.

  Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Meridian Valley Lab. Please use the {{hangon}} template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion, and make your case on the page's talk page. Thank you. JamesBWatson (talk) 12:25, 3 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Userpages

edit

I was shoveling through the backlog of new userpages when I came upon yours. "Ah, some new guy who just dumped his CV and then ran off without doing anything else", I thought, and deleted it because our policies on what Wikipedia is not include "a resume bank".

Then I checked your contributions, and saw that you actually have helped out. So... if you ask me to... I will restore your userpage.

However, I would strongly suggest that you remake it into something that looks less CV-ish. You may wish to start from scratch. DS (talk) 15:23, 2 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
