Your edit to Gilbert Arenas

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Gilbert Arenas. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. --Mosmof 21:38, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

March 2008

Please do not add content without citing reliable sources, as you did to Kristina Klebe. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Contact me if you need assistance adding references. Thank you.

Before adding a category to an article, please make sure that the subject of the article really belongs in the category that you specified. If it has not been already, it may be removed if the category has not been deemed correct for the subject matter. Thank you. Make sure the categories you add to articles have something referenced in the article before you add them. NrDg 00:44, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Stephan Bodian

The article Stephan Bodian has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Does not appear to be notable, he wrote a book but fails WP:AUTHOR, and was briefly quoted in a newspaper, which is not notable.

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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
