Your userspace drafts
[edit]I noticed that you created pages about Paul Offit and Massimo Pigliucci that are both near exact duplicates of the mainspace articles about these people that already exist. I wanted to a) ask why you are doing this and b) point you to the policy page WP:FAKEARTICLE, which explains why creating such drafts is not a good idea. If you can compellingly explain why these drafts should exist, I won't nominate them for deletion as I am currently intent on doing in the absence of a response from you.

- Thanks for your reply on my talk. I suggest you write down the changes you want to make to these pages somewhere off-wiki, given that you can't do them all at once (Which is presumably the reason you're dumping them all into an article). Or you could just rewrite them to look less like FAKEARTICLEs, which is, it has just occurred to me, probably the best solution. Jinkinson talk to me 18:06, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for May 20
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Ben Goldacre, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Richard Saunders (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

DYK for Joe Nickell
[edit]On 16 July 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Joe Nickell, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that skeptic Joe Nickell was an advisor on the 2007 horror film The Reaping, in which actress Hilary Swank plays an investigator of the paranormal? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Joe Nickell. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |
