I have deleted your page again. The underlying problem is that the title is not and can never be an encyclopedia article. Encyclopedia articles are about things. The Big Bang theory is a thing. A magazine can be a thing. Even a concept like entropy can be a thing. We can describe it, we can explain it, we can articulate its impact on society, etc. Most importantly, we can synopsize what other authors have written about it. Encyclopedias are, by definition, tertiary sources so we must have reliable, independent secondary sources to summarize from.

An article citation, however, is not a thing about which we could write. No one will ever write a paper about a citation. They might write about the subject of the article. And the citation might itself be a secondary source about some other subject. It might be appropriate to add the citation to the bottom of an article matching the subject of the paper. But the citation itself is not a proper encyclopedia topic. A citation is a kind of link, a cross-reference to that source. And while indexes of links and cross-references are useful, they are not in and of themselves encyclopedic. Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not has more on this topic.

I hope that makes it clearer. Rossami (talk) 01:46, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

What are the four general rules at Wikipedia?

The four general rules are to respect your fellow Wikipedians, remain neutral, cite your sources, and to ignore a rule if it prevents you from improving or maintaining Wikipedia.

How do I edit a page?

1. Click 'Edit this page' or 'Edit' on the top of the page that you want to edit.
2. Make your changes in the edit window.
3. Preview your changes by clicking the 'Show preview' button.
4. Click the 'Save page' button.

See Wikipedia:How to edit a page for more detailed information.

Why can't I edit some particular pages?

Some pages that have been vandalized repeatedly are semi-protected, meaning that editing by new or unregistered users is prohibited through technical measures. If you have an account that is four days old and has made at least 10 edits, then you can bypass semi-protection and edit any semi-protected page. Some pages, such as highly visible templates, are fully-protected, meaning that only administrators can edit them.

Where can I experiment with editing Wikipedia?

Use the main sandbox or create your own personal sandbox to experiment.

How do I create an article?

Please use the Article Wizard to create one, then add references to the article as explained below.

What are references, sources, and citations all about?

All claims must be supported by a book, website, or news organization independent of the subject of the article. The source must be reliable, meaning it cannot be a blog, MySpace page, or personal website. This makes it difficult, if not impossible, to prove that an inaccurate statement is true, and that it should stay in the article. The policy regarding this states that the statement has to be verifiable, not necessarily true. See Wikipedia:Verifiability for more information.

How do I insert a reference into an article?

For inline references:

1. Do a search on Ask.com, Google, or your preferred search engine for the subject of the article that you want to put a reference in.
2. Click 'Edit this page' or 'Edit' in the Wikipedia article, and insert a claim into that article stating a fact about the subject. Don't click the save button just yet.
3. In the search you did in step 1, find a website that supports the claim you made in step 2. Highlight the address in the address bar (where it says http://www.some-website.com/some-page.htm).
4. Go to the reference generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out the as many fields as you can. Then click 'Get reference wiki text'.
5. Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text.
6. In the article, after the claim you made in step 2, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied in step 5.
7. If the article does not have a References, Footnotes, Notes, or Bibliography section, then add this below the See Also section and above the External Links section:

==References==
{{Reflist}}

For references put at the end of an article:

1. Do a search on Ask.com, Google, or your preferred search engine for the subject of the article that you want to put a reference in.
2. In the search, find a website that supports the claims made in the article. Highlight the address in the address bar (where it says http://www.some-website.com/some-page.htm).
3. Go to the reference generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out the as many fields as you can. Then click 'Get reference wiki text'.
4. Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text.
5. Go to the Wikipedia article. If the article does not have a References, Footnotes, Notes, or Bibliography section, then add this below the See Also section and above the External Links section:

==References==
{{Reflist}}

Then, add this after the {{Reflist}}, in a new line:

{{Refbegin}}
*Press paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) after this asterisk, then remove the <ref></ref> tags

{{Refend}}

What is a WikiProject, and how do I join one?

A WikiProject is a group of editors that are interested in improving the coverage of certain topics on Wikipedia. If you would like to help, add your username to the list that is on the bottom of the WikiProject page.

How do I format text on Wikipedia?

See Wikipedia:Cheatsheet.

In particular, you might want to have a look at the notability guidelines. This my help prevent any conflict from escalating. Also, please be aware of the rules against sock- and meat-puppetry. I'm not saying that any of this is happening now, but please be aware of these rules.TR 21:58, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively.

In particular, the three-revert rule states that:

1. Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Syrthiss (talk) 18:52, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

Cold big bang

Hi Carol,

I would be happy to have a friendly discussion at the talk page (Talk:Cold Big Bang)) about the material we disagree about. The goal of Wikipedia is to have the editors reach consensus in such discussions first, then cooperate to write a Wikipedia-worthy article for the main page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Unorthodox (Cold) Big Bang Cosmology

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 Unorthodox (Cold) Big Bang Cosmology, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

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. Bm gub2 (formerly User:Bm_gub) 00:18, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

This really is getting out of control. You seem absolutely obsessed with getting this material onto Wikipedia through any means necessary and without any regard for Wikipedia policies, which have been repeatedly explained to you. I am asking you to please stop doing this. This is the last time you will be asked nicely, if you continue creating pages on this topic without regard for policy you will leave no choice but to block your account. I'd rather it didn't come to that, but the choice is yours. Beeblebrox (talk) 00:58, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Carolingfield, are you the author of this article? Or a close friend of the author? Why are you so focused on it? It's a three-week-old upload that no one has ever heard of. The WP:FRINGE guideline exists specifically because of behavior like yours---someone writes a random paper, decides that it's going to be the hot new thing, and thinks that a Wikipedia page is a good place to start on the road to Stockholm. It happens every day.

In the future, if this indeed becomes a notable, much-talked-about topic among cosmologists, I would suggest that the right place to seek consensus about reintroducing it would be the talk page Talk:Non-standard cosmology. That's a page that many editors---both fringe science fans and mainstream cosmologists---are watching, and they have experience with Wikipedia's particular norms for giving appropriate weight (see WP:UNDUE) to fringe theories. You would probably learn something by reading that page, which does fairly summarize some fringe theories. Why do some fringe theories get included and Assis gets deleted? Because these other theories are actually very widely discussed, with dozens (plasma cosmology) or hundreds (TeVeS, MOND) of independent articles serving as reliable, third-party sources.
