User talk:Dr Jon Jenkins

Hello, welcome to Wikipedia. You might like to start by reading the tutorial and introducing yourself at the new users page. If you have any questions, you can ask at the help desk or on my talk page.

A couple of things, though. Firstly, are you in fact Jon Jenkins? If so, would it be possible for you to verify this, perhaps by contacting myself or another administrator via your parliamentary email address? This just allows us to ensure that this account is not an impostor purporting to be the real person.

Secondly, I noticed that you created an article at Dr Jon Jenkins that consisted of your inaugural speech to parliament. The article was nominated for deletion on the basis that it contained no encyclopedic content. As Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, it needs original biographical articles on its subjects.

Please also note that Wikipedia articles don't usually include personal titles of in the titles of biographical articles. As such, your article (assuming you are in fact Jon Jenkins), once written, should be at Jon Jenkins, not Dr Jon Jenkins.

In any case, I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian. :) Rebecca 11:24, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, the article was a verbatim copy from http://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/prod/PARLMENT/hansArt.nsf/V3Key/LC20031119037 . It did not acknowledge its source, as required by the copyright terms for the site and in any case those terms are, I believe incompatible with the GFDL. -- RHaworth 12:28, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
