From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nice additions to the Dutch Wonderland article, but contributions need to be verifiable. I suggest you read Wikipedia:Citing sources. If someone were to question your information, they would be free to delete it unless you have cited sources. Wikipedia does not allow Wikipedia:Original Research and it would help protect your valuable work if you cited a page someone had put up somewhere, that you could cite as a source.

Also, you might consider using the "show preview" button. If you click the "save page" button a half-dozen times, you are permanently adding a half-dozen copies of the page to the "history" database, permanently increasing Wikipedia's operating costs. It isn't always possible to make a series of edits, with only one "save page" at the end, of course. Sometimes we notice an error only after the page has been saved. It's like realizing that your keys are in the switch in that fraction of a second between releasing the door and having it latch shut, locking you outside. In any case, a word to the wise is sufficient. ClairSamoht 12:09, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed Deletion

[edit] Dutch Wonderland

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Dutch Wonderland, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest 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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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.

Please don't take offense - and feel free to object. After all, is each Disney park notable? Each Pokemon card? But another editor deleted this from Pennsylvania Dutch Country, and I'm going to put it back with a note that I tagged it. Simesa 06:14, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
