Unassisted Childbirth

G'day. Bravo for taking on the Unassisted childbirth article. I note you have started. Excellent. Please ensure adquate references and citations for the statements you make otherwise your article will be reverted by someone. Also watch the use of what is termed weasel words. See: WP:Weasel. It's an easy trap to fall into. Good luck. Maustrauser 06:44, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Yep, I realized how often I was using "some", "many", etc. This topic has serious verifiability issues. I'm brand new to wikipedia and just as new to trying to write factually. I'm really struggling to come up with reliable references for this topic! I'm not quite sure what to do about that, but I'm going to keep looking. Thanks for your encouragement.

Alchemy (festival)

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Alchemy (festival), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. Fram 10:40, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Someone else deleted the prod without commenting on the talk page as to why. I made a comment there about why I started the article - because there were other wikipedia articles for comparable events. I hope the article will be improved over the next few days. Erosissa 16:06, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
