Speedy deletion nomination of Raze (game)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Raze (game) 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 web content, 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.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Feezo (Talk) 21:05, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

Removing Speedy at Raze (game)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Raze (game), a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 21:20, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

Your question about userboxes

Hi, Hawkrawkr. It's been a while since I added my userboxes, so I'm a little fuzzy on all the specifics--I remember it took some trial and error to get the syntax and organization the way I wanted it. BUT, I know that the basic guidelines on how to use them are posted at Wikipedia:Userboxes. If you just want to add pre-existing userboxes, look through Wikipedia:Userboxes/Gallery--that's where I got most of mine. Other than that, when you see a userpage that has them organized in the way you like, you might open the page's edit box and look at the syntax. That helped me a lot. Sorry I can't give you step-by-step instructions, but those links should get you started. Best, Aristophanes68 (talk) 17:23, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

"Common Creationist Arguments" section in Transitional Fossil article

A while ago you brought up the issue of that section in the transitional fossils article. I have recently removed the section. I argued that there are other articles that discuss the controversy, and that this article should focus only on transitional fossils. I am working on expanding the examples in the article and improving it so it eventually gets GA or FA status. See these recent discussions for more information:

• Removing Creationist arguments section
• NPOV on Creationist Arguments Section
• Transitional fossil#Improving the article
