The paragraph you recently added has been moved to the "differences from novel" section of the article, not removed entirely; there is no need to keep re-adding it to the introduction. Additionally, the paragraph was removed previously simply because it is uncited and thus can be construed as being original research. If you could add a citation to it, perhaps from material written by Ludlum fans about the novel, then it will no longer matter. Thankyou. Qjuad16:18, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

You have just recreated this page, complete with the speedy deletion template still on it. If you are unable to correct the problems that lead to the first deletion very soon, it will likely be deleted again. Repeated recreation of deleted articles is considered edit warring and is not a good idea and could lead to a block. A better option would be to work on this article in your user space until it is ready to "go live". Click here to start a subpage in your user space on this topic.

Actually, after examining this article and doing a quick search, I was able to provide a source and have declined the speedy deletion. If you are aware of any more reliable sources that could be used, it would be great if you could add them. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:02, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate what your trying to do but please stop. The idea of splitting stack from the main article has already been discussed on the talk page and shot down. It's unlikely to ever be approved unless there's substantial coverage of his early life. - Stillwaterising (talk) 23:42, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
This article is no more than a dictionary definition. Wikipedia needs far more, including verified notability. Dictionary definitions have no place i an encyclopaedia.
Hi -- I saw the link for convergent that you added to analytic function -- that was helpful, but that link leads to a disambiguation page with lots of different meanings of "convergent". In a case like that, it's better to use a piped link that links the word directly to the more specific meaning appropriate to the context, in this case [[convergent series|convergent]].

Hi. When you recently edited Crusades, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kingdom of Heaven (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
Hi. When you recently edited Genetic recombination, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Isotype (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
Can you tell me what you mean by "more variable" in your edit to Natural Selection? Over time loci that are not subject to selection will accumulate mutations via drift; although this sounds like more variation, it should actually result in less phenotypic (and genetic) variation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Trashbird1240 (talk • contribs) 15:30, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Trashbird,
i didn't actually write that paragraph, but i think the point is that when a certain form of selective pressure in the environment stops operativing, then any spontaneous new alleles that occur will no longer be "pressured out". but i can't say if it ultimately increases of decreases variation.
If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Sms addiction. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Textaholism. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Textaholism – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.
If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. AllyD (talk) 18:45, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Mikewax,
I noticed your article was declined at Articles for Creation, and that can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself!

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by SwisterTwister was:
This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the general guideline on notability, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.
The comment the reviewer left was:
Potentially notable but we would need a heavier emphasis to show there's better sourcing than what's currently shown.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.
If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Education–industrial complex and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
