A summary of site guidelines and policies you may find useful

Always cite a source for any new information. When adding this information to articles, using <ref>reference tags like this</ref>, containing the name of the source, the author, page number, publisher or web address (if applicable).
"Truth" is not the criteria for inclusion, verifiability is.
We do not publish original thought nor original research.
Reliable sources typically include: articles from magazines or newspapers (particularly scholarly journals), or books by recognized authors (basically, books by respected publishers). Online versions of these are usually accepted, provided they're held to the same standards. User generated sources (like Wikipedia) are to be avoided. Self-published sources should be avoided except for information by and about the subject that is not self-serving (for example, citing a company's website to establish something like year of establishment).
Articles are to be written from a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not concerned with facts or opinions, it just summarizes reliable sources. Real scholarship actually does not say what understanding of the world is "true," but only with what there is evidence for. In the case of science, this evidence must ultimately start with physical evidence. In the case of religion, this means only reporting what has been written and not taking any stance on doctrine.

Nomination of Jeremy Adams for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Jeremy Adams is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jeremy Adams until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 20:17, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've tidied the text a bit, and in particular, I've formatted one of the references to show you how it's done; the Google Books would benefit greatly from being made more intelligible. That said, I think there is still an issue about whether this guy is really notable at any thing other than a family level. I'm willing to be convinced, but I think he still needs a bit more to cross the line, preferably with less obscure references Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:51, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

February 2012

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, such as on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jeremy Adams, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. Safiel (talk) 01:44, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In addition, when leaving comments on Article for Deletion pages, don't break your comment up into paragraphs. Rather, just use a single paragraph and lead with an asterisk symbol, which keeps the formatting standardized on the page. Thanks. Safiel (talk) 01:47, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of World Government (Mormonism)

The article World Government (Mormonism) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Improper sourcing, notability of topic not established, and just wrong on so many other levels. Not enough context to justify the claims.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Your contributed article, Henry Adams, Braintree

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Henry Adams, Braintree. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as yourself. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Henry Adams (Braintree). 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 Henry Adams (Braintree) - 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 deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to 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 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. 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. Nat Gertler (talk) 01:37, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Removing Speedy at World Government (Mormonism)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for taking the time to contribute.

I'm a bot designed by another Wikipedia editor, and I'm here to help you with our deletion process. I noticed that while working on an article recently, you removed a speedy deletion template that tagged it for deletion. Don't get discouraged! Deletion discussions happen on Wikipedia all the time.

If you don't want the article to get deleted, please click here.

The link will take you to the talk page, where you can explain why the article should be kept. If you have any questions about this or need help with editing, you can ask at the Help desk.

We really hope you'll stick around to help make Wikipedia better! Thank you, - SDPatrolBot (talk) 03:17, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Help request

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

Do you have a question? Best regards, Cind.amuse (Cindy) 04:08, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Removing Speedy at World Government (Mormonism)

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with World Government (Mormonism). If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Click here to contest this speedy deletion, which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 03:54, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Touching bases

Hey there! I just wanted to touch bases. I noticed that you recreated a deleted article. Actions like this may actually result in salting the topic, which keeps the article from ever being created. Some editors even get blocked. Nobody wants that. I also noticed that you created Friend of God and Council of Friends. Neither article meets the criteria for an encyclopedia. Essentially, the Friend of God article should be deleted in accordance with the WP:A10 criteria for speedy deletion, because it merely presents information about Jethro, who is already covered in the Jethro (Bible) article. The Council of Friends article fails to indicate how or why this group of people are significant and/or important, so it would be deleted in accordance with the WP:A7 criteria for speedy deletion. It is really important to create drafts of these articles first. For example: User:Mormonfaith101/Friend of God and User:Mormonfaith101/Council of Friends. ← Just click on those links and create your article there, then ask for feedback before moving to the mainspace. I would recommend moving the created articles to your subpage. Based on your expressed interest in creating and editing articles focusing on the LDS Church, it is essential that you review the Manual of Style specific for Latter Day Saints. The Wikipedia Manual of Style may be found here. Again, if you have questions, please contact me. Best regards, Cind.amuse (Cindy) 05:38, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In response to your feedback

If you're talking about Henry Adams, Braintree, it was removed because there is a current article on that person (Henry Adams (Braintree)). It wouldn't matter who put the speedy tag if the articles meet Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion. Wikipedia:Writing better articles and seeing if there are current articles on that person before starting the article may help. If you have any questions, please ask me on my talkpage here.

SwisterTwister talk 03:02, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Only administrators and oversighters can remove articles. Other users such as myself can tag them if again, they meet the criteria. You can appeal the deletion by clicking "Click to contest this deletion" located with the warning.

Usually you will be warned from the user(s) who tagged the article, but you can also ask the administrator(s) that removed the article. I would be willing to answer any other questions. SwisterTwister talk 03:23, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You can message me on whichever talkpage you wish. If you message me here, I will have your talkpage on my watchlist (see Help:Watching pages). SwisterTwister talk 03:32, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
