Welcome!
Hello, Mcbaldwin, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Speedy deletion of "Stephen Saxon"
[edit]A page you created, Stephen Saxon, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how they are important or significant, and thus why they should be included in an encyclopedia. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and the guidelines for biographies in particular.
You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.
Thank you. abf /talk to me/ 14:11, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit]Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Identity of Junius may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

- of Junius whom he named as 'Thomas Hollis' (scil. the English [[Deist]] John Hollis).<ref>See [http://books.google.com/books?id=9PgRAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA64#v=onepage&q=Lanthenas%20Thomas%20Hollis&f=

Explaining
[edit]I patrolled your page. I went through the enormously-backlogged list of newly-created pages and confirmed that your page was okay: not spam, not an attack page, not a copyright violation, not any of the other reasons for which I would delete someone's page without asking. Then I clicked "patrolled" to remove it from the list of "pages that have not yet been patrolled", and moved on to the next entry. That's all. DS (talk) 03:09, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
