User talk:John jacob lyons
Welcome
[edit]Hello, John jacob lyons, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I notice that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been reverted for this very reason.
To reduce the chances of deletion, you might like to draft your article before submission, then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. To start creating a draft article, just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit that page as you would any other. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.
The one firm rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. It is also worth noting that Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which specifically link them to one company or corporation. If your username does have such a name, it would be advisable for you to request a change of username.
If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! You can also just type {{helpme}}
on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

- Help pages

- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Fabrictramp(public) (talk) 21:35, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

[edit]Nomination of Genetic Priming for deletion
[edit]A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Genetic Priming is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Genetic Priming until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion.

- Just to point out your article genetic priming i see nothing wrong with it but it will be deleted, you will not win, editors at wikipedia simply do not like alternative theories relating to evolution or similar topics even if they are well sourced they want wikipedia representing "mainsteam" views only and nothing alternative. I recently created many articles one on a neolamarckist and another on an evolutionist who believes in macromutation, both were deleted becuase they were not "mainstream" evolutionary theories, it's very sad but that is the way it is on here, anything relating to evolution is a no go zone and any new theories relating to evolution are looked down upon or deemed "crackpot" "fringe" or "psuedoscience" if they are not "mainstream".
