Scott Baker page[edit]

Hi- you blanked Scott Baker (marine biologist). Did you intend to request deletion, or what? I'm confused of the purpose of blanking the page instead of deleting it. You're new, so if you have questions, feel free. I just don't really understand your intent of blanking the page. tedder (talk) 03:03, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I cleaned up your page to conform with local style. Being the editor of a major journal makes the subject notable. You can continue to add concise factual information, but for COI reasons longer blocks of text and narrative might be better posted to the article's talk page for eventual inclusion -- or you can work on a new revision of the entire article in your userspace (say at user:csbaker/draft) and ask another wikipedia to review and copyedit it, for neutrality and verifiability. Thanks for joining Wikipedia; I hope you find other topics to edit :-) –SJ + 03:02, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
