Proposed deletion of Elijah King

The article Elijah King has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia: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 ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

December 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Elijah King has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://www.myspace.com/elijahkingmusic.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 22:47, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Elijah King

The article Elijah King has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable musician

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. Liz ^{Read!

My mistake

I’m embarrassed to say that, despite my background in biochemistry and physiology, I never knew about the difference in “mucus” vs “mucous” - other than the American vs British English distinction. Thanks! Jtrevor99 (talk) 19:55, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jtrevor99: I stumbled on it myself at one point when I was trying to spell estrus/estrous (which I still don't have completely right, apparently!). Do you have more information about a difference in US and UK or Commonwealth conventions for mucous? I do remember hearing similar, but I couldn't confirm different usage patterns from searching in a few dictionaries. I would hate to misapply copyedits. Azn bookworm10 (talk) 21:50, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Interestingly, I believe I was wrong on that point too. I checked a couple of UK (and one Canadian) dictionary, and all used “mucus” for the noun. I’m not sure why I thought it was a British/American variation, but it appears it isn’t! Jtrevor99 (talk) 00:04, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Americans have spellings like labor and flavor vs labour and flavour, so maybe it was just a rumo[u]r. I appreciate the sanity check! Azn bookworm10 (talk) 00:19, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for October 2

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Pathogen reduction using riboflavin and UV light, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page S. aureus. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
