Welcome

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for creating an article on Jan van Leeuwen. If you run into any difficulties here, or have any questions, please feel free to contact me at User talk:CBM and I will do my best to help.

As a matter of style, we use simply a person's name, not including titles such as "Doctor" or "Professor", so the article was renamed to remove these. This is not meant to reflect negatively on Prof. van Leeuwen in any way, it is simply a convention we follow. — Carl (CBM · talk) 22:25, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

I saw you edited the title of Jan van Leeuwen, could you do this also to the Dutch page with the too long title: "Prof. dr. Jan van Leeuwen" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rednas1234 (talk • contribs) 22:34, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

I asked someone who edits the Dutch wikipedia, and the name is changed to nl:Jan_van_Leeuwen (informaticus). — Carl (CBM · talk) 22:47, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Sander van der Poel

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Sander van der Poel requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Evaders99 (talk) 08:06, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
