Talk:SciLands

I'm in the process of gathering the necessary background, press links, appropriate organization information, images, etc. Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

Not likely. This organization fails notability guidelines. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 21:48, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:DUlogo1.png

The image Image:DUlogo1.png is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
• That this article is linked to from the image description page.

The following images also have this problem:

Deprod

I am deprodding because notability is not temporary, per WP:NTEMP. That is, just because an organization no longer exists does not mean that it doesn't continue to be notable, e.g., the Roman empire. The Technology Review article and physicsworld.com article are sufficient claims of notability that prod is no longer uncontroversial. --Mark viking (talk) 23:00, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on SciLands. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

• Added archive https://web.archive.org/20080512205647/http://www.metaversemessenger.com/pdf/2008/01/MM20080129.pdf to http://www.metaversemessenger.com/pdf/2008/01/MM20080129.pdf

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.
