Please help me with...
1) does this description below, of a new word "bioasis", conflict with wikipedia-protocol? If not, than I'd love to post it. If it does, than how can I modify or edit it in order to publish it?
Bioasis, a noun:
An example of a bioasis, lies in a concept proposed to Hawaii’s famed Parker Ranch. The proposal, describes a science-themed park, build entirely on ranch acreage. The landscape’s dynamic elevations, sweep from see level to 7000 feet. This affords the exploitation of every energy opportunity possible; from pump hydro to water catchment and from wind to solar.
At the core of the park a closed-loop energy grid elegantly marries a transportation system. A solar powered electric train, the Gekko, powered by ground mounted solar PV, transports workers and visitors alike through the park, from beginning to end. Rooftop-solar panels will further augment the grid’s electrical capacity.
This entire green energy and water-harvesting corridor will host and sustain residence, workers, vacationers and daily visitors, as well as plants, trees, crops, shrubs, et all. From the world community, inventors and manufacturers will be invited to showcase their market-ready renewable energy technologies on an environmentally benign, globally recognized site.
The park’s energy output will allow Parker Ranch to generate its own energy, with abundant MW available to service neighboring communities.
2a) Somehow the word 'Earth' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Cartercccollins/TWA/Earth popped up at my page. I never post it there. How did it get there and/ how can I get rid of it?
2b) What is the relationship between carterccollins (my name) and TWA and 'Earth'?
Thanks for your help!

- 1) Welcome to Wikipedia! I'm afraid there is no chance of an article about this new word being accepted. For reasons, see WP:Wikipedia is not a dictionary#Neologisms and the fundamental policy WP:No original research. It's worth reading all of that, but in particular it says:
"If no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article about it. If you discover something new, Wikipedia is not the place to announce such a discovery."
- The point is that it is not an encyclopedia's job to announce new things: we only describe and summarise what has already been discussed elsewhere. The only use of the word that I find is as a proprietary name. You could try it on our sister project Wiktionary, but they too have fairly demanding inclusion criteria such as "Usage in permanently recorded media, conveying meaning, in at least three independent instances spanning at least a year."
- It is possible that the proposed development at Parker Ranch could be covered in that article, if there are reliable sources about it. If you want to write about it there, read WP:Verifiability, and take care to write in neutral terms, avoiding "peacock terms" like famed and elegantly. Wikipedia is extremely resistant to being used for anything that seems like promotion.
- 2a and b) "TWA" stands for The Wikipedia Adventure. I'm not familiar with it but I know that if you play it, it generates pages like that. You can put {{db-user}} at the top to ask for deletion. JohnCD (talk) 11:44, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
