Savannah apes
[edit]Hi Andiemackay. You appear to be added self-referential (I presume that you are Andrew D. Mackay) material to the Wikipedia without supplying any reliable sources for them. If your scientific ideas are notable they should already appear within the normal peer-reviewed literature, and be citable to more than just a website. If this is not the case, please attempt to provide some other evidence that they are notable - otherwise your article may be deleted. Best regards, --Plumbago (talk) 17:02, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
Hello and welcome from me, too. We can always use an extra hand around here, but I'd like to help you understand how things operate on Wikipedia. New ideas, no matter how good they are, should not be presented here. They must first gain the attention of more or less important independent people in the real world. As far as I can tell, your ideas on Expanding Earth theory and Savannah apes have not been discussed in sources besides your own web site. That is why I reverted your edits to Expanding Earth theory and have proposed that Savannah apes be deleted (see Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Savannah apes). I hope you understand. When you start working on Wikipedia, it is usually a good idea not to edit articles that are closely related to yourself, because it is hard for any of us to maintain the required neutral point of view about our passions. Otherwise, happy editing! --Art Carlson (talk) 08:56, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
