I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Siliceous dinoflagellate cysts for deletion, because it appears to duplicate an existing Wikipedia article, [[:{{{article}}}]].

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks, Ratzd'mishukribo (talk) 01:37, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Thank you. SmartSE (talk) 08:10, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Ways to improve Dinosporin

Hi, I'm Go Phightins!. Kmertens, thanks for creating Dinosporin!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. There are some issues as far as awkward wording, particularly in the lead.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Your new articles

Hallo and welcome to Wikipedia. I've just seen some of your new articles while stub-sorting, and there are a few things you are not getting quite right.

1. The opening sentence should be a sentence. Almost always the article should start "X is ...", as I've done for your Eleuteroschisis stub (which you started as "Asexual reproduction in which the parent organism completely ...".
2. Adjectives are rarely appropriate titles for Wikipedia articles: Could you reconsider your article Haplontic and find a noun or phrase which is the real subject of the article, and then Move it or use the {{RM}} system to ask for it to be moved.
3. The reflist looks better with only one column, when there are only one or two references
4. Authors' names in references should not be in capitals. I haven't corrected them in the four articles I've looked at, but please do so yourself.
5. There shouldn't be a space before each reference

Please look at other articles in the encyclopedia to pick up the style we use for articles, and copy the best of them - see Wikipedia:Featured_articles#Biology for some of the best. There's a lot to learn about editing Wikipedia, but it is an interesting journey. Thanks. PamD 15:42, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

Alfred Eisenack

Hello Kmertens. I noticed your new article on this paleontologist. I tried to fix up the prose in the article, as well as adding more links, etc. Please read the article through once again carefully, as I think I may possibly have accidentally changed the meaning here and there while I was in the process of working on the prose. Please correct anything that I may have made incorrect. Best wishes, Invertzoo (talk) 15:50, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

Eisenack

Thanks for your nice note Kmertens! I wanted to say the next time you leave a new note on a talk page, please give it a heading. Also, you can very easily sign a note automatically just by putting four of these wiggly things " ~ " (they are called tildes) at the end of your post. When you hit the "Save" button, the software will automatically turn the 4 tildes into your signature, date etc. Best wishes, Invertzoo (talk) 16:36, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
