This is an encyclopedia, so remember that it's a necessity to include references listing reliable websites, newspapers, articles, books and other sources you have used to write or expand articles. Please understand that these sources should verify the information in a fair and accurate manner. However, you must not copy and paste text you find anywhere, except for short quotations, marked as such with quote marks and carefully cited to the source the quote was taken from. New articles and statements added to existing articles may be deleted by others if unreferenced or referenced poorly or if they are copyright violations. See referencing for beginners for more details.
Here are some more pages that you might find helpful:

The article Criticism of has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Has the form of a disambiguation page but isn't a valid once. Its title isn't a topic, and it's just a list of articles that start with those two words, which MOS:DAB points out isn't what dab pages are for.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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. Largoplazo (talk) 00:49, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Global policy
Hi Inowen, many thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia. I have just reviewed your new article Global policy. I noticed that you do not give any sources or external verifications that confirm the contents of the article. While there is some high level sense to the bullets, we can only publish on Wikipeida something that has been stated or published elsewhere. Wikipedia is not a place for original research. I have marked the article accordingly. Many thanks pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 08:00, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

Hello, Inowen. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Global policy, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:
- edit the page
- remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
- save the page
Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

Deletion discussion about Government (disambiguation)
Hello, Inowen,
I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Government (disambiguation) should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Government (disambiguation) .
If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
Thanks,

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Time are for discussion related to improving the article in specific ways based on reliable sources and the project policies and guidelines, not for general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics, or statements based on your thoughts or feelings. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you. DVdm (talk) 16:09, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Cold living
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
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.
A tag has been placed on Cold living, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Live-work space moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Live-work space, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the confirms on the Articles for Creation template atop the page.

Note on adding unsourced content
![A cup of coffee for you!](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4a/Cup_of_Coffee_with_foam.jpg/155px-Cup_of_Coffee_with_foam.jpg)
Hey, I'm Z0. I noticed that you added content to an article but didn't provide a reliable source. You should cite a reliable source for all of your edits so that they can be verified. In Wikipedia, verifiability means that other people using the encyclopedia can check that the information comes from a reliable source. Adding unsourced content contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial.
Wikipedia does not publish original research, which refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist. Its content is determined by previously published information rather than the beliefs or experiences of its editors. Even if you're sure something is true, it must be verifiable before you can add it. The verifiability policy requires inline citations for any material challenged or likely to be challenged, and for all quotations, anywhere in article space. Articles should be based on reliable and published sources (see Wikipedia:Neutral point of view) and if no reliable sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it.
Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. The editor whose username is Z0 17:34, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

Nomination for deletion of Template:Fourfold
Template:Fourfold has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for discussion page. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 18:53, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
- PS: In addition to the simple four, there are cases where each of or just two of the elements has a sub-element, which would be an extra smaller row. This would perhaps be in a different template, rather than code the one with conditional statements. At basis is the elemental idea of a this/that difference being at the base of logic, and helpful in logical discussions. The fourfold is an ancient teaching tool. Sometimes the fourfold is used for a four-list, this/~this/~that/that, a list with four elements, where the four are complete and the graph serves to symbolize that the elements inside make up the complete list. These are the basis for categorical thinking, where the elements, evenly divided, are rigourously logical.-Inowen (nlfte) 21:04, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

Abiogenesis
You repeated insertion of POV and "Citation needed" tags are not appreciated, as there are 4 high-quality references stating the natural process. In total there are 338 references in this article to natural biochemical evolution and related processes/hypotheses. None are about magic. Thank you. Rowan Forest (talk) 23:13, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Human identity
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
A tag has been placed on Human identity requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either
- disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic); or
- disambiguates no (zero) extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Incoming links to Landmark Cases
Hello - I saw that you moved Landmark Cases to be a redirect to Lists of landmark court decisions. There were a number of incoming links to the page for the C-SPAN series that ended up pointing to the new target, Lists of landmark court decisions. I am going to point them back towards the C-SPAN series article. KConWiki (talk) 01:00, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
Your deletion of the British English notice at Linguistics
Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.
For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.
In view of that, please don't remove relevant notices or change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Doug Weller (talk • contribs) 12:52, February 4, 2019 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. You've been here long enough to know the basics of NPOV, RS, and V. Your comments appear, at best, disingenuous and meant to agitate. EvergreenFir (talk) 06:12, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
