Welcome edit

Welcome!

Hello, Shreknangst, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Your edis edit

All of your edits seem to be being marked Minor, please go into preferences and unset this. You also need to use edit summaries. Most of all, you need to read WP:OR as your article and edits are pretty clearly your own research. I can find no reliable sources for "DNA Spread Theory". I can't even find the phrase outside of your article. As Wikipedia is an encyclopedia reporting what reliable (see WP:RS and verifible -- see WP:Verifiable sources have to say about a subject, please don't be surprised to find someone deleting your article or putting it up for deletion. Don't despair though, a lot of people misunderstand Wikipedia at first. Dougweller (talk) 17:47, 13 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of DNA Spread Theory edit

 

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article DNA Spread Theory, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

The term "DNA Spread Theory" is not used once on the web outside Wikipedia. This theory has no notability.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Articles for deletion nomination of DNA Spread Theory edit

I have nominated DNA Spread Theory, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/DNA Spread Theory. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Dougweller (talk) 18:56, 13 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

My advice: DNA Spread Theory is heading for what is known as a WP:SNOW deletion. Take a copy of what you've written now before it gets deleted. Fences and windows (talk) 02:25, 15 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

File:GenesisDatesWiki 20120203.jpg edit

I changed your license template - as you are not the author we would normally need some sort of verified permission from the author sent to WP:OTRS. However there is nothing "artistic" about the contents - it's a list of dates, therefore there is no originally within the image. Thus I have changed it to {{PD-text}}  Ronhjones  (Talk) 21:46, 5 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of File:GenesisDatesWiki 20120203.jpg edit

 

The file File:GenesisDatesWiki 20120203.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Orphaned. Claimed to be ineligible for copyright, but clearly passes a threshold of originality

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
