The article Jeremy A. Thomas has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

A page you started (Helmut Fritz van Emden) has been reviewed!

[edit]

Thanks for creating Helmut Fritz van Emden, Wikiwhippet!

Wikipedia editor Nick Moyes just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

It is a shame this is such a poor article. The one reference you give could form the basis if a reasonably informative page. PLease add a few selected publications, such as his Handbook of Agricultural Entomology and better demonstrate he meets WP:NACADEMIC. It's nice to create articles - but even better to make good ones.

A page you started (Roger L. Blackman) has been reviewed!

[edit]

Thanks for creating Roger L. Blackman, Wikiwhippet!

Wikipedia editor Nick Moyes just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

Sadly, a far too short article on this person, who deserves better coverage. OK, I'm biased, as I once worked at th Natural History Museum in London. But please prove (with inline citations) that he is an FRS, and past presdient of the RS and, of course, that he is the author of new aphid species.(A. polii) Add in some references to major publications. The researchgate page really isn't good enough as a reliable source - but there are plenty out there if you care to look. Why not add Blackman , R .L., 1974.Aphids. Ginn, London. 175pp., to name but one?

Ways to improve Christopher Peter Haines

[edit]

Hi, I'm Nick Moyes. Wikiwhippet, thanks for creating Christopher Peter Haines!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Please create better artciels than these tiny stubs - these notable academics desrve better (especially to make up for the pages of waffle about wrestlers and fictional soap charactyers!) try this as another source to base your article on: http://www.nri.org/news/2010/nri-emeritus-professor-chris-haines-awarded-honorary-fellowship-of-the-royal-entomological-society

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Ways to improve Victor Frank Eastop

[edit]

Hi, I'm Nick Moyes. Wikiwhippet, thanks for creating Victor Frank Eastop!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Notabilty is met by Fellowship of the Linn Soc and the Royal Ent Soc, but the obituary cited does not appear to confirm this. Sourcing additional references would be of great help to this nice little stub.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Thanks for creating Jim Hardie, Wikiwhippet!

Wikipedia editor Nick Moyes just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

I've added some extra info and supporting reference, but it would be helpful if you would go back and tidy up your original source so that it's not just a bare url.
