Speedy deletion nomination of Kumaraho[edit]

Hello Preciousjfm,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Kumaraho for deletion, because it's too short to identify the subject of the article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Le Sanglier des Ardennes (talk) 22:12, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Kumaraho[edit]

Hi Preciousjfm,

Can you find a reputable reference for your information? And try to set it out like other botanical pages. Thanks,Le Sanglier des Ardennes (talk) 22:28, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Recent edit to Kumaraho[edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Kumaraho, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you!

Page[edit]

Hi Preciousjfm,

I see you are quoting from the website http://www.tiritirimatangi.org.nz/kumarahou. It is fine to use pages for information if you reference them, but this text has been removed as it is an unreferenced direct text shift. Thanks, Le Sanglier des Ardennes (talk) 22:48, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies[edit]

Hi Preciousjfm,

Welcome to Wikipedia. I'm sorry your article got deleted while you were trying to work on it. I’ve built it back, in the style of other botanical articles, and please feel free to add/change any information there – but do try and reference. Do you have an image of the plant? I couldn’t find one that wasn’t copyrighted.

Good luck, Le Sanglier des Ardennes (talk) 02:03, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

what it was not a spam website

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Geological history of Earth. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Amortias (T)(C) 11:10, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did at Creation–evolution controversy, you may be blocked from editing. Amortias (T)(C) 11:12, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Preciousjfm/sandbox[edit]

A tag has been placed on User:Preciousjfm/sandbox requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free Web hosting service. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

You absolutely must stop adding your personal views to articles[edit]

If you look at the new welcome message, you may understand why. Our articles are not to be based on our own thoughts, beliefs, experiences, knowledge, etc but upon what reliable sources say about a subject - see the links in the welcome message. And to be blunt, Wikipedia is a mainstream encyclopedia. We present others points of view to be sure, but you may be happier at CreationWiki. I'd say the same thing that was adding their own views on any other subject repeatedly to articles. Doug Weller (talk) 14:40, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Did you take the reliable source of the bible in the topic of the History of the Earth you only have an evolutionists perspective. Preciousjfm Preciousjfm (talk) 19:07, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Bible is not a reliable historical source because it does not meet the standard criteria of source reliability used by historians. Theroadislong (talk) 19:11, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

October 2015[edit]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you insert a spam link, as you did at Evolution.

Hi again[edit]

Hi Preciousjfm. It would be lovely if you could upload a picture of Pomaderris kumeraho.

You seem to be getting into some trouble over your trying to edit Creation-evolution pages, inserting your own views.

I can see what you're trying to do, but you've got to understand that Wikipedia does not let anyone state their personal views like that; the pages must be unbiased and explain all viewpoints from a neutral stand. Unfortunately, lots of them don’t do this, and have a distinctly pro-evolution bias, which is not justified in the scientific community, but it is just as bad to make them pro-Creation. The Creation–evolution controversy page is discussing the actual argument that is going on, and there is no need for you to say which side you agree with anyway.

Getting blocked won't help, so maybe step back for a while, and perhaps you'll find ways to more fairly express the facts - it does annoy me too sometimes when I find evolution expressed as absolute on the science pages - not as the theory it is. But the final idea is not to have the pages presenting a Christian outlook, because the world at large does not; instead Wikipedia should offer all opinions to the reader, which would be a good thing all told. Good luck and God bless, Le Sanglier des Ardennes (talk) 22:04, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

P.s. Instead of using CMI, a mere website/magasine , maybe try the peer-reviewed Journal of Creation. That is a proper source that can't be decently objected to. Le Sanglier des Ardennes (talk) 22:46, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
