Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Ronald S. Laura has been reverted.
Your edit here to Ronald S. Laura was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://trainingwmatrix.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general, http://trainingwmatrix.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 13:55, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please be aware of Wikipedia's policy that biographical information about living persons must not include unsupported or inaccurate statements. Whenever you add possibly controversial statements about a living person to an article or any other Wikipedia page, you must include proper sources. If you don't know how to cite a source, you may want to read Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners for guidelines. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 23:27, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi. This page was deleted using Wikipedia's proposed deletion procedure, which you can read more about at that link. Specifically, an editor felt that the article failed to assert the notability of the article's subject, which is a key part of justifying an article's presence here. Being an academic in itself isn't enough; being the author of many best-selling books would be, although the article didn't claim this. WP:N will give you more information about concepts of notability on Wikipedia.

Because you're affiliated with the subject of the article, you should also take a look at Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide to ensure that anything you contribute is objectively sourced.

You'll see from the page on proposed deletion that you are entitled to ask for the page to be undeleted, although you should be aware that it might be proposed for deletion under the full Articles for Deletion process unless the notability issues are addressed.

I hope that helps! Whouk (talk) 11:45, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
