Speedy deletion of Patched

edit
 

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.

Question

edit

Welcome to wikipedia. I recommend that you rephrase your question, bearing in mind that most journals are not "ACS": its a big world and most US students forget that there are other countries "out there." Also sign your messages so folks can see who you are - see the notes above. Good luck. --Smokefoot (talk) 15:04, 1 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
