Hi Jsmlw, Welcome again! I see that you are adding potted biographies of different characters in Brave New World. I applaud your work, but you might want to think about whether they deserve biographies outside the main article. Looking behind the scenes, it seems that people tend to think that these characters are not notable outside the book, and maybe that means that your information should be included in the main article itself. In the past it seems that similar articles have been redirected to the main article. Personally, I don't have any opinion, but before making any more pages, it might be a good idea to go to the Brave New World talkpage and see if you can get people to agree with you that articles are needed for all the characters. Good luck, and once again thanks for your contributions. Wikipedia needs contributors like you, but I just want to be sure that your first experience is a positive one! Let me know if I can help in any way. I will be watching this page so you can write any questions here. --Slp1 01:52, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Bernard marx
[edit]A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Bernard marx, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

- Bernard had a page, but it was redirected to Brave New World. If you had done a wiki search, you would have seen that. No reason to reinvent the wheel! :) Postcard Cathy 04:09, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
- And Helmut had a page too but it too was redirected to Brave New World. OOPS! Postcard Cathy 04:11, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
Status of St Peter's
[edit]There is a whole paragraph under the heading Status that explains why St Peter's is not a cathedral. If it was the seat of the Pope, as bishop of Rome, then it would be a cathedral, because, by definition, a cathedral is the seat of a bishop. But it is not the seat of the Pope as bishop. Go back and read why. Amandajm (talk) 02:03, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
