SERI microalgae culture collection

I'm a little concerned about the article SERI microalgae culture collection, it appears to just be a random list copied from a government report. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. As a copy of the report, it doesn't belong in Wikipedia. Could you explain to me (here, my talk page, or the talk page of the article) why the article should stay? Otherwise I think it should be nominated for deletion. -- stillnotelf is invisible 04:22, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

SERI microalgae culture collection

I'm a little concerned about the article SERI microalgae culture collection, it appears to just be a random list copied from a government report.

I'm not sure what you mean by random, the subject of the page is the Solar Energy Research Institute's microalgae culture collection, the list is of the microalgae species in that collection at the closing of the Aquatic Species Program.

Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information.

I don't know what you mean by indiscriminate either, a good encyclopedia should define, or further expand upon, anything that it references, if you have to go to outside sources to learn the meaning of a term, or subject metioned in an article, then your encyclopedia is lacking and incomplete.

As a copy of the report, it doesn't belong in Wikipedia.

It's not a copy of the report, as the report is over 300 pages, it is an excerpt from the report pertaining to the SERI microalgae culture collection.

The article still needs to be developed, but I think it has a good start.

Daemion

I think an article on the collection is probably relevant, but as a list alone it's not important. I'll leave it alone, but I think it would be better if the article focused more on the report and less on being a copy of the list. Thanks, -- stillnotelf is invisible 22:04, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Selecting images in PDF files

The way to select an image in a PDF file is to use the Image Select tool. It looks like a camera, and it's usually on the toolbar with the Text Select (I-bar) and Hand tools. If copying an image into Wikipedia, be sure the image is not restricted by copyright, or that your use is fair use. Let me know if I can help further. SteveB 01:59, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

AfD nomination of List of algal culture collections

I have nominated List of algal culture collections, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of algal culture collections. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. seresin ( ¡? )  06:13, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
