Welcome!

Hello, AceKnight, 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, like Retrograde force, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

Proposed deletion of Retrograde force

The article Retrograde force has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Delete per WP:ESSAY, WP:OR and also WP:ATP, with the article grouping all Muslims, Romani, rappers, etc. as all "retrograde cultures." Perhaps this could be speedied, but it is not a "personal" attack as outlined in the CSD criteria.

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.

Articles for deletion nomination of Retrograde force

I have nominated Retrograde force, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Retrograde force. 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.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:00, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Please stop adding your "improvements have been made" banner to the article. We can all see the article and it's history, and the deletion debate is not being held in the article itself, but rather at the AfD page. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:44, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

November 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Retrograde force, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. link: [1] You re-formatted my nomination statement with this edit.

Please stop your disruptive editing. Making significant changes to a page and hiding them under a deliberately misleading edit summary, as you did in this edit to Retrograde, is not acceptable. If you continue to edit disruptively you will be blocked from editing. JamesBWatson (talk) 12:39, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
