[edit] Welcome

Hello, welcome to Wikipedia.

[edit]

Here are some tasks you can do:

You might find these links helpful in creating new pages or helping with the above tasks: How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Naming conventions, Manual of Style. You should read our policies at some point too.

If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

  • You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
  • If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.

Again, welcome! - UtherSRG 22:04, 18 Feb 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Please do not recreate deleted articles

You have recently re-created the article Zoe (Spiritual Life). This was deleted in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policies. Please do not re-create the article: if you disagree with the article's deletion, you may ask for a review at Wikipedia:Deletion review. -- Fan-1967 14:50, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notability of CloudApps

A tag has been placed on CloudApps requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. --Finngall talk 17:35, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cloud computing

Please remember that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and as such all articles need to maintain a neutral point of view at all times. Phrases such as "...is the new revolution", "the newest paradigm shift to occur in our time", and "It is as momentous as the Industrial Revolution" are the stuff of advertisements, not encyclopedia articles, and have no place here. Please also refer to Wikipedia's manual of style for the usual standards in formatting an article. Thanks. --Finngall talk 18:03, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Exoplanet designations

I noticed you added spaces to several exoplanet designations: please do not do this without checking the literature first! If you look at the designations given by the discoverers in their papers, planets from the XO project are typically designated without the space (e.g. "XO-3b" [1]), same goes for HATNet ("HAT-P-1b" [2]), and WASP ("WASP-4b" [3]). Putting in a space is incorrect! 131.111.8.99 (talk) 13:19, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

In addition, do not change the title of papers! If the paper uses "XO-3b" in the title, then that is what the title is. Do not change the paper title to "XO-3 b" just to match the article: you didn't write the paper so you do not have the right to change the title! 131.111.8.99 (talk) 13:23, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
