It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Duke Health Raleigh Hospital. Please be careful not to remove content from Wikipedia without a valid reason, which you should specify in the edit summary or on the article's talk page. Take a look at our welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. - CobaltBlueTony 16:18, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Please do not remove content from Wikipedia, as you did to Duke Health Raleigh Hospital. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. - CobaltBlueTony 16:18, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nixonic

Welcome to Wikipedia! We could really use your help to create new content, but your recent additions (such as Nixonic) are considered nonsense. Please refrain from creating nonsense articles. If you want to test things out, edit the sandbox instead. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Mhking 16:53, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Please see WP:NFT for an explanation of why Wikipedia is not the appropriate place to try to get a word you've invented into common usage. Geoffrey Spear 17:18, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
Totally understood. Thanks for the explanation. Please consider using "Nixonic" anyway. I think it can be a good word... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Butterwise (talk • contribs) 15:07, November 29, 2006
I think you're missing the point. Wikipedia is not a tool to promote words, or ideas, or businesses, or people. It's an encyclopedia. You wouldn't find it in Britannica, and without notability/verifiability, it'll never make it here. - CobaltBlueTony 20:55, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
Actually, my point above was "please personally consider using Nixonic." Butterwise 13:32, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button Image:Wikisigbutton.png located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! - CobaltBlueTony 20:55, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
