Hi, I wanted to let you know that I converted this article into a REDIRECT to Geoffrey Dabelko. The information should be contained in one place. Regards, Accurizer 16:02, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
help for a newbie?
editI'm a newbie and looking for a little assistance. I had posted two entries Gib Clarke and Geoffrey Dabelko and I wanted to edit them, but I apparently can't edit them, only the external links, even when I am logged in. I was able to edit them up until just a little bit ago. Any suggestions, I would really appreciate it! --CSC22 17:50, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
- I can't see a problem. You should be able to edit the articles by clicking the "Edit this page" button at the top of the screen. Perhaps try the following links and see it that works:

- I think you were clicking on the "[edit]" link that appears within the article at the beginning of each section (in these articles, it was the "External links" section.) This link should be used when you want to edit a section of an article, not the whole article. The "edit this page" tab at the top of the screen should be used when you want to edit the whole article, or the introduction which does not have a section heading. Hope this helps.

External links
editPlease do not add commercial links or links to your own private websites to Wikipedia, as you did in Environmental security. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links. See the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks. -- Argon233 T C @ ∉ 20:19, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
Nomination of Gib Clarke for deletion
edit
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Gib Clarke is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gib Clarke until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Rathfelder (talk) 22:16, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
The article Geoffrey Dabelko has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Liz Read! Talk! 17:54, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
