Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The Five Pillars of Wikipedia

• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Please respect others' copyrights; do not copy and paste the contents from webpages directly.
• Please use a neutral point of view when editing articles; this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add unreasonable contents into any articles, such as: copyrighted text, advertisement messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such unreasonable information or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, and will result in your account being blocked.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. Again, welcome! —Kf4bdy ^{talk contribs}

Unspecified source for Image:9924898 0.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:9924898 0.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 13:28, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Joe Sanchez

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Joe Sanchez, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. --TheDJ (talk • contribs • WikiProject Television) 14:43, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

AfD templates are on the top of an article for a reason. They let everyone who sees the article know it is being discussed. I know of no circumstances in which the template is moved to the talk page or removed altogether. The template may be formatted so that it only works properly on the article. I'm not exactly sure what you mean "start a talk page over the afd"; that's what the AfD page is for. The debate should last for 5 days, after that an admin will decide to keep or delete the page or relist the discussion for another 5 days. If you think that the debate should be closed early (please see WP:SK for reasons before considering this) request a "Speedy Keep" on the AfD page and consider requesting it also at WP:AN.

Thanks TheDJ for editing my comments to keep and Mr.Z-man for explaining why the discussion is not on a talk page. I was shocked that an article would be nominated for deletion the moment it is created even with verifiable Secondary sources. Apparently WP:BIO are controversial. I will wait for the afd consensus.

Source comment

Joe, the deletion page mentions "Delete the subject is a PhD student, the lead section sentence stating that "Joe Sanchez is cited in peer-reviewed academic journals." is supported by a link to a pdf, whose title page includes the descriptor "A Research Study Submitted for Presentation at The Academy of Business & Administrative Sciences Conference, Cancun, Mexico, June 22-24, 2002", so I have no idea which peer reviewed journal this is supposed to be. A grad student with a couple of publications, and a single citation falls far below the bar of WP:PROF. Pete.Hurd 01:58, 24 April 2007 (UTC)"

You changed the page today to read:

"Joe Sanchez has extensive publications in peer-reviewed academic journals.[4]"

This points to the same pdf you are cited in for a syllabus but implies you wrote the article. Please add a complete list of your publications in peer-reviewed journals. It would help the article and I would be interested in reading them. Thank you. Typewriter 15:52, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
