Welcome to Wikipedia!

edit

Dear Kevin J waldroup: Welcome to Wikipedia, a free and open-content encyclopedia. I hope you enjoy contributing. To help get you settled in, I thought you might find the following pages useful:

Don't worry too much about being perfect. Very few of us are! Just in case you are not perfect, click here to see how you can avoid making common mistakes.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Wikipedians try to follow a strict policy of never biting new users. If you are unsure of how to do something, you are welcome to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator. One last bit of advice: please sign any dicussion comment with four tildes (~~~~). The software will automatically convert this into your signature which can be altered in the "Preferences" tab at the top of the screen. I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information. If you need any help just let me know. Once again welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to tell us about yourself and be BOLD! --Ted 03:09, 19 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

You last two articles have been redirected to Extraterrestrial life. It appears in both articles you are expressing your opinion for academia, and Wikipedia is not that. Wikipedia is a resource, not a place to shout opinions. The redirected page seems far more apporate (I can't spell). If you feel otherwise please respond on my talk page.

Extraterrestrial Spacecraft

edit

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Extraterrestrial Spacecraft, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Extraterrestrial Spacecraft. If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. raekwon 03:36, 20 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Interplanetary Phenomenon Unit

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Interplanetary Phenomenon Unit, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.theblackvault.com/wiki/index.php/Interplanetary_Phenomenon_Unit. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 16:43, 24 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Repost of Interplanetary Phenomenon Unit

edit

  A tag has been placed on Interplanetary Phenomenon Unit requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, because it appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion. If you can indicate how it is different from the previously posted material, place the template {{hangon}} underneath the other template on the article and put a note on the page's discussion page saying why this article should stay. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. If you believe the original discussion was unjustified, please contact the administrator who deleted the page or use deletion review instead of continuing to recreate the page. Thank you.
