An article flagged as a stub is a placeholder, and is not normally subject to speedy deletion. In this case, the subject of the article '''is''' notable enough, but the article is just a stub and will need to be expanded. I added an <nowiki>{{expand}}</nowiki> tag to it, which should be enough. In general, it's often best when you see a stub to flag it as such or add <nowiki>{{expand}}</nowiki> tag to it, rather than tag it for deletion. Wait a few days, and the original author is likely to expand it. And, specific to this, most paleontologists are probably notable. --[[User:TruthbringerToronto|TruthbringerToronto]] 16:00, 30 June 2006 (UTC) |

Welcome!
Hello, Lamentation, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. It looks like you know what you're doing, and the rest of the welcome is superfluous, but pro forma, I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- Tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome!

Not a stranger
From your contributions, you are obviously not a stranger here. Just curious about your setup with the standard.{js, css} etc. Wassup with that? Watch ya got over there on localhost? Just curious. John (Jwy) 04:18, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
- I set them up like that mostly so that I don't have to deal with the way Wikipedia's servers cache them. This way, changes show up immediately without me having to force a reload of [1]. —Lamentation :( 04:26, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
Your vandalism
Hi, my name is William Berryman Scott. No really, I wrote a vanity article about myself. I've only been dead what 50 years? I am writing from beyond the grave.
Try using your brain. Or failing that how about Google, or special:whatlinkshere? — Dunc|☺ 12:52, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
- Clearly you didn't write a vanity article about yourself. You wrote a speedy candidate. That he has a profession is not an assertion of notability.
- Try being remotely civil, reviewing what vandalism is, and learning not to use your rollback tool for non-vandalism edits. Though I note that these are all things you have consistently failed to do in the past. —Lamentation :( 13:02, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
An article flagged as a stub is a placeholder, and is not normally subject to speedy deletion. In this case, the subject of the article is notable enough, but the article is just a stub and will need to be expanded. I added an {{expand}} tag to it, which should be enough. In general, it's often best when you see a stub to flag it as such or add {{expand}} tag to it, rather than tag it for deletion. Wait a few days, and the original author is likely to expand it. And, specific to this, most paleontologists are probably notable. --TruthbringerToronto 16:00, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
