Another South African!

I've followed some of your recent edits and I love them! Why don't you tell us a bit about yourself on you user page? From you edits I'm assuming you're South African. It's at times like this when I stop feeling so pessimistic about Wikipedia's coverage of African topics. Zyxoas (talk to me - I'll listen) 18:51, 2 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey!

Well, seems I run into you all over the Internet. Welcome to Wikipedia. Some extra tips: For adding references to an article, the footnotes system is pretty handy. I like to also use various citation template to format the references nicely. For some examples, check out the Crimen injuria or Sharpeville Massacre articles. (You may want to add to those articles, if you feel bored.) Check out the links on the Sharpeville Massacre page to the TRC report: There's a wealth of information there for articles on Apartheid-era politics. -Kieran 18:40, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Tom Eaton (author)

A tag has been placed on Tom Eaton (author) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under 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 important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. andy (talk) 12:42, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Tom Eaton (author)

The article Tom Eaton (author) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable author - clearly fails WP:AUTHOR, e.g. being "regarded as an important figure" or whose work "has won significant critical attention"

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. andy (talk) 22:45, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
