Kipps

[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for contributing. I saw the article you made on Kipps. If I may make a few humble suggestions, I think you should explain a little more what Kipps is. The article actually looks like a bio of Artie Kipps, and it's not clear that Artie is a fictional character in the book Kipps. Take a look at The War of the Worlds (novel) (also by H.G. Wells) to see an example of how it could be done. --Bachrach44 14:43, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Echo and Narcissus et al.

[edit]

Echo and Narcissus looks like original research (seeing as how you seem to have acknowledged yourself in the article), and that is not allowed on Wikipedia. I've also noticed you've made quite a few unqualified minor edits to articles, and created other "articles" that don't need to stand on their own. You might want to review the links posted on your user page regareding what content on Wikipedia should consist of and how it should be done to conform to standards.

Most importantly, you appear to use original research (by citing yourself, assuming your username is accurate), and that is strictly prohibited under Wikipedia Guidelines (which is why I mentioned that you might want to read them). If you're going to write an article, you need to use other people's cited and available sources, and they need to be verifiable fact. Anything cited as psecial thanks ot oneself and a compatriot runs the risk of getting deleted.
Furthermore, you are not supposed to make edits for the sake of making edits; Wikipedia is not a points system. As it seems that most people thus far are not happy with your edits, you may want to read the guidelines on editing, read the articles you are editing and find out what's wrong with your edits, as it appears to be a systematic problem (your edits were removed from at least three articles).

Please see the discussion on Talk:Ork (Warhammer 40,000) about possible deletion of your Main Units additions. --Pak21 10:21, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
