Your recent edits

Hi there. 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. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button 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.

Re: Matthew 8965

Hi! Regarding your contributions, it seems as though you need to learn more about how to use Wikipedia. Regarding your page blanking and adding of protection templates, please stop copying WP:PROTECT, and never add protection templates to articles or pages if the page isn't actually protected; I tried that once in the Biology article, you know...

I suggest that you read the New contributors' help page before you do anything. You don't want to get blocked, right? Oh, and no offense, but please, try to type in natural English; this is an encyclopedia, and you won't find sentences that are made similarly to your own in the Britannica, right? God Bless and have a nice day... Blake Gripling (talk) 09:57, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

-==Speedy deletion of [[:Matthew 8965]]==
-[[Image:Ambox warning_pn.svg|48px|left]] A tag has been placed on [[:Matthew 8965]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#A7|section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, 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 [[WP:CSD#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please [[Wikipedia:Notability|see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable]], as well as our subject-specific [[Wikipedia:Notability (people)|notability guideline for biographies]].
-If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to '''the top of [[:Matthew 8965|the page that has been nominated for deletion]]''' (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on '''[[ Talk:Matthew 8965|the 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact [[:Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles|one of these admins]] to request that a copy be emailed to you. <!-- Template:Db-bio-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:Iceflow|Thor Malmjursson]] ([[User talk:Iceflow|talk]]) 09:50, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
