Welcome!
[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia, Mrt2349876! I am Marek69 and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Slavery, but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses novel, unpublished syntheses of previously published material. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your information. Thank you. While it is indeed possible to find differing ideas about slavery in the Bible, it's not appropriate to insert your own ideas or interpretations into a wikipedia article. The best strategy here would be to find a reputable source in which a biblical scholar makes points that you want included, and introduce them again with a citation. And it's probably best to leave the other material in, adding yours to show that there's a diversity of opinion. Agathman (talk) 21:43, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to the page Slavery. Such edits constitute vandalism and are reverted. Please do not continue to make unconstructive edits to pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thank you. J.delanoygabsadds 21:52, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
- With regard to User:J.delanoy's revert, your edit constituted original research. Even though it's easy to cite the Bible directly, we have to cite third party sources for interpretations of the text. It's frustrating, I know, but the problem is that people can interpret the same text differently. When you cite the text of the bible in the manner that you did in your edit, it is then Wikipedia who is making an interpretation of the text, and not a "scholar" or other authoritative person.
- Figured you could use an explanation since one was not forthcoming. :) 70.91.178.185 (talk) 13:43, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
Just to let you know that I've replied to your question on that article's talk page. I've also added a tag to the article to let other users know you're actively working on it. If you add your references soon, it shouldn't be deleted.
I have some material on this individual too, which I'll add once you've got the article off the ground: glad to see an article created! Gonzonoir (talk) 14:45, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of The English Army
[edit]A tag has been placed on The English Army requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Proposed deletion of the english army
[edit]In a few days, it should be all set up and full. So please don't delete it as it will be sorted out, it just need time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrt2349876 (talk • contribs) 08:51, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
- I switched the CSD template with a PROD template, which means that the article will be checked after 7 days to see if it should be kept, or removed. I hope that this is enough time for you, but in case it is not: You can always create a subpage for your account and develop the article there; The advantage of that method is that it will not be tagged for removal or improval.
