Hello! BinaryPhoton, you are invited to join other new editors and friendly hosts in the Teahouse, an awesome place to meet people, ask questions, and learn more about Wikipedia. Please join us! Rosiestep (talk) 04:04, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article Randy Wayne (biologist) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This article was already deleted since it did not state notability, nor provide proper secondary sources and citations. This is the same article, without any improvements.

While all 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.

welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment further, please use the sandbox instead, as someone could see your test before you revert it. Please don't corrupt the encyclopedia, even temporarily. If you want to create a new article, just go ahead and do so as a new article, or as a user subpage, but don't over-write an existing article as you did here. For 2 1/2 hours a reader looking for Gage would have found your text about Spanswick: if you'd been distracted or called away before you replaced the Gage content, it might have been much longer. (I was led here because you'd linked to a disambiguation page I'd created, so I got a "notification"). PamD 21:32, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply
]

Rather than create a new page as your User page, it would be better to put it in a subpage: create either User:BinaryPhoton/Spanswick or User:BinaryPhoton/Sandbox. (Just click to create, and then copy the article into the new page). Your user page should be about you, rather than someone else: if it wasn't that Spanswick has a date of death, someone coming across your user page might assume that you were he and were creating an autobiographical article. PamD 22:04, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your user page

Hello, BinaryPhoton. I'm writing to let you know that your user page,

not a free web host and should not be used to indefinitely host pages that look like articles, old revisions, or deleted content, or your preferred version of disputed content." It appears that you are using your user page to host a version of the Randy Wayne (biologist)
article that is greatly expanded and considerably more promotional in tone. You may recall that the original article you posted was also much longer and more promotional before being the community pared it down and improved the sourcing to meet our quality standards.

Could I suggest that if there is any novel material on

edit war

Stop icon

Your recent editing history at Dissident shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. - üser:Altenmann >t 14:37, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest

FAQ for organizations
for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

  • avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
  • instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. - üser:Altenmann >t 14:40, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

|image=[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]]

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

|image=SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as |caption=Some image caption.

Morris Bishop

A couple of years back, you added a poem to the article

Mickey Mouse Protection Act will further delay its transition to the public domain ... if human life on the planet lasts that long.) I therefore abridged
the quotation drastically. I hope you understand.

I'd guess that a major reason for your interest in this poem is its subject, just one of many that Bishop wittily touched on. But as you might have a broader interest in this figure from Cornell's past, I thought I'd let you know that the article, though still quite unsatisfactory, has tripled in bulk over the last two months. I have no connection to Cornell (and regret to say that I have read nothing of Bishop's serious work); perhaps you know somebody who might be interested in further adding to the article? -- Hoary (talk) 07:11, 23 August 2017 (UTC) (about to disappear from Wikipedia for three weeks or so).[reply]

Contested deletion

This page should not be speedily deleted because... (your reason here) --BinaryPhoton (talk) 21:27, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I understand Wikipedia's interesting in not hosting a free webpage. I also believe that there is a lot of nastiness and ad hominem attacks online because things are anonymous. I take responsibility for everything I write. You can look at my contributions page and see that I have edited in good faith a wide range of articles in a vast array of subjects and have never been nasty and have never made ad hominem attacks. Even if I were anonymous I would not be nasty nor make ad hominem attacks. But I put myself out there in case someone thinks I did something inappropriate--so like this speedy deletion--there can be rational debate.
