Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment.

Proposed deletion of How to get to heaven

The article How to get to heaven has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

proselytizing which does not meet notability guidelines

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. --Delta1989 (talk/contributions) 23:42, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, I am Christian. That said, please do not use this site as a soapbox or as a pulpit. Thank you. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 23:43, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your religious beliefs are not being questioned. It doesn't matter whether you are a Christian, Hindu, Atheist or anything else. All are welcome to contribute to Wikipedia. All must adhear to notability guidelines however. This article lacks citations to reliable sources. --RadioFan (talk) 00:23, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Recent edits

I need not tell you that your recent edits have been found to be unproductive, and have been reverted. You seem to be a new user, so I can only reccomend that you practice civility with other editors. Message me with questions! --Delta1989 (talk/contributions) 23:44, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, please. Not only am I Roman Catholic, but I happen to attend services at Calvary Chapel. Please review WP:CIVIL in the meantime. Thanks. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 23:45, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Questions

What articles can I edit that would have any significance?

Hi, and welcome. As a first step, I suggest you read the five articles listed in the Welcome to Wikipedia section I added, at the top of your talk page here. Then, read articles that interest you, and edit to make corrections or additions. If you want to create a new article, a good way is to look for a red link (they look like this) in an article you're reading, and, if you know about the topic of that article, then you could create the article using the article wizard. Ask me on my talk page if you have any questions. Best regards, --4wajzkd02 (talk) 19:36, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

December, 2009 (welcome)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make. Robots monitor recent changes. Note also that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.

If I can be of assistance to you in the future, please feel free to contact me. Best regards and happy editing. 7&6=thirteen (talk) 19:20, 11 December 2009 (UTC) Stan[reply]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. When you make a change to an article, please provide an edit summary for your edits. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit. It is also useful when reading the edit history of the page. Thank you.

Re your message: No problem. We're both on the same side. :) A good place to start for pointers and tips is right here on this link. You are always welcome to leave word on my talk page if you have any specific questions. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 23:20, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia! I am glad to see you are interested in discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Evolution are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Hi, sorry, but article talk pages are for discussing how to improve a given article, not a forum for discussing your opinions on the subject. Another editor removed your addition for that reason - I thought you would want to know that this happened, and why. Need help? Just ask. The edit in question follows: [1] --4wajzkd02 (talk) 23:28, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
