[edit]Hello, GregSproles, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Kazys Morkunas, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

The article Kazys Morkunas has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

[edit]Hello, I'm Randykitty. I noticed that you removed a Biographies of Living Persons PROD, from Kazys Morkunas, and I wanted to let you know that I have replaced it. Please don't remove these Biographies of Living Persons PRODs from articles unless they contain at least one reliable source or were created before 18 March 2010. If you oppose the deletion of an article under this process, please consider adding reliable sources to the article or commenting at the respective talk page. Thank you.

try the articles for creation process
[edit]Wikipedians are protective about what is shown in the public space as live articles. For newcomers learning what makes an appropriate article, it is generally better to start off outside of live article space and build you concept there so that it is "ready for prime time" before entering live article space. I would recommend using the "articles for creation" process or starting off in your sandbox (see the tab at the top) where you have time to find and cite the reliably published sources that are necessary for a stand alone article and can polish the language so that it is appropriately neutral and not promotional and that the article does not read like a personal essay or commentary. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 12:30, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

Your recent edits
[edit]Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
- Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
- With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, 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 necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 18:44, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
