Welcome!
Hello, Lingust, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like Earl Jones (Canadian confidence man), may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of Earl Jones (Canadian confidence man)
[edit]Please do not make statements attacking people or groups of people. Wikipedia has a strict policy against personal attacks. Attack pages and images are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images in violation of our biographies of living persons policy will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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.

[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Wayne Gretzky, but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses novel, unpublished syntheses of previously published material. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your information. Thank you. Your change the lead of the Gretzky article was made without discussion and consensus, without regard to what the WP:RS in fact say, and without an edit summary. I've reverted it. Please discuss such a change on the article's Talk page first. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:04, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
Please do not add or change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to Hexavalent chromium. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. I don't see "powerful" stated in the reference and it appears to be your own unsourced POV? Please do not re-add "powerful" unless you can provide a reliable source.

DYK for Matthew Dubé
[edit]On 16 May 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Matthew Dubé, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that five McGill University students—Charmaine Borg, Matthew Dubé, Mylène Freeman, Laurin Liu, and Jamie Nicholls—were elected to Parliament in Canada's 2011 federal election, but the youngest new MP is Université de Sherbrooke student Pierre-Luc Dusseault? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Disambiguation link notification for July 13
[edit]Hi. When you recently edited Salem (town), New York, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page WNYT (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I noticed that you placed on our personal opinions on Ted Cruz's citizenship status in the article about Ted Cruz. You did not provide a reliable source to support your opinion that Cruz is a dual citizen of the U.S. and Canada. Canada does not give citizenship to just any one that is born on Canada soil. They require at least one of the parent's to be a citizen and neither of Cruz's parents were citizens. If you have a reliable source for your opinion please provide it.--ExclusiveAgent (talk) 20:24, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
