August 2007[edit]

Vandalism warning[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although we invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Llama, was not constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. --Blind Eagle^{talk~contribs} 12:27, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please accept my apologizes. I mistakenly tagged your edit as vandalism. Although your reference to a poem is well within the bounds of an encyclopedia, it has nothing to do with the Llama animal beyond reference. You may find another page that is more closely aligned with your reference here. --Blind Eagle^{talk~contribs} 15:34, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Talk Pages[edit]

With every article comes a talk page. With the Llama article it is Talk:Llama. Here you can discuss anything relating to the article. You'll notice that on occasion that anonymous folks have added some real garbage to the talk page. I have tried to revert most of it. But, it does slip through. By posting your question to the talk page, you allow others interested in the topic to discuss it openly. --Blind Eagle^{talk~contribs} 21:43, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Dickson McCunn[edit]

The article Dickson McCunn has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fictional character from a book, that does not seem to meet the rules and policies for having an article

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Mtking (talk) 00:49, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Chengdu Science Fiction Museum moved to draftspace[edit]

Unfortunately, an article you recently created Chengdu Science Fiction Museum, is not ready as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage with citations from reliable and independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. I've moved your article to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's WP:GNG guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. M.Ashraf333 (talk) 14:04, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am well aware that the article is minimal - but I do not own the copyright of the additional material I should like to include.

But I do regard it as important that the Museum is available, even as a stub, on English Wikipedia. The World Science Fiction Convention is scheduled to take place there in October of this year and so far the Chinese organisers have provided very little information on the venue (in English - I do not read or speak Chinese - but at least 1,000 non-Chinese visitors have already bought memberships and most of them will be Anglophones). Since it is under construction it is not yet in any guides or on any maps and peaople hoping to travel are suffering for lack of information. My stub at the very least allows them to determine how accessible the venue is.

I hope that both the Convention Organisers, and the Architects of the Museum will respond to the Wikipedia stub by expanding it, but they cannot do so if it is not there.

Please advise me what additional material you see as a minimum to repost it - I can provide references from the Convention and from the Architects' websites. What else do you consider necessary?

In the meantime, since I have already emailed the Architects and the Convention Organisers, I should be grateful if you would consider reposting my stub so that they can find it when they read my emails. JMBryant (talk) 14:43, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Concern regarding Draft:Chengdu Science Fiction Museum[edit]

Hello, JMBryant. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Chengdu Science Fiction Museum, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 15:01, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
