User talk:Getmko
Welcome!
Hello Getmko, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.
In Wikipedia, new Users do not automatically receive a welcome; not even a machine-generated welcome. Welcome messages come from other Users. They are personal and genuine. They contain an offer of assistance if such assistance is ever desired.
I suggest to everyone I welcome that they may find some of the following helpful — there’s nothing personal in my suggestion and you may not need any of them:
- Introduction
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- Tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Avoiding common mistakes
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on Talk pages (ie discussion pages) using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}}
on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! Dolphin51 (talk) 04:34, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

I work in academia. If I want a colleague at work to create a wikipedia article on the subject of his or her professional expertise, or to expand or check what I have written, does it clash with any of Wikipedia's policies? If so, what is the appropriate conduct on my part? 05:15, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
- Hi. I would recommend that you read WP:Your first article before creating any article. It is completely ok for your friend to check or expand what you've written. Please note that we do not allow users to create any article relating to them, their company, or someone closely related because of WP:COI. What article are you thinking of writing? If you have any questions, feel free to ask on my talk page. I'll be glad to help you. Happy editing! BejinhanTalk 05:42, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
The article Additive K-theory has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- A formula on its own, with no explanation or coverage, does not meet requirements for WP:STUB. There may also be notability issues and WP:NOTPAPER issues.
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 {{dated prod}}
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 {{dated prod}}
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. Singularity42 (talk) 16:43, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit]Hello.
Please look at this edit. "In geometry," or "In algebra," or "In number theory," or "In calculus," tells the lay reader that mathematics is what the article is about. "In K theory," does not—non-mathematicians cannot be expected to know what K-theory is. Michael Hardy (talk) 03:36, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
