Some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Anthony Townsend may not be well-known enough to merit articles of their own. The Wikipedia community welcomes newcomers, and encourages them to become Wikipedians. By starting an account or logging in, each user is entitled to a user page in which they can describe themselves, and this article's content may be incorporated into that page. However, to merit inclusion in the encyclopedia proper a subject must be notable. We encourage you to write or improve articles on notable subjects. - Gblaz 05:20, July 31, 2005 (UTC)

Your picture Image:Picture 1.png has no source listed, so we have no way to verify that it's a fair use of its original source. If you don't post source information on the image page, it will be deleted within seven days. Night Gyr 02:14, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

reply to your question

you deleted my article with the reason "word made up one day", which is exactly what it was. can you show me a wikipedia policy that says this is illegit use? i am trying to develop the term as a way of describing a new and emerging set of practices. the term is arising out of research we are conducting at the Institute for the Future in Palo Alto.

isnt Wikipedia supposed to represent the evolving, changing corpus of human knowledge? this kind of behavior/policy seems to be a good way to stifle that process.

Hi. The relevant policies are Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:No original research. Wikipedia is not supposed to represent the cutting edge of human knowledge. As a tertiary source, we're supposed to relate that part of human knowledge that has already been documented by other stable, reliable sources. This isn't the first place for anything to be documented. I'm sorry if you got the wrong impression about our mission. -GTBacchus^(talk) 23:21, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Stevens Institute of Technology

Hi, in your edit message for Stevens Institute of Technology, you mentioned that you wrote a student newspaper article on the topic; what is the name of the newspaper, and any chance the newspaper is online? John Vandenberg 05:42, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of NYCwireless

The article NYCwireless has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This article relies on a single source, which is the organization itself! It is a non-notable website or organization.

While all constructive 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
