Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia articles, such as those you made to Sam Sloan, even if your ultimate intention is to fix them. Such edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. -- ArglebargleIV 19:30, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. It appears you have not followed this policy at Joseph Smith, Jr.. Please always observe our core policies. Thank you. -- ArglebargleIV 14:23, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Sam Sloan, you will be blocked from editing. -- wrp103 (Bill Pringle) (Talk) 02:53, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

I am sorry that you are upset for having your edits reverted and warning messages placed on your talk page. However, Wikipedia has strict policies on neutral point of view and verification. Please consider reviewing those policies, along with WP:NPA. -- wrp103 (Bill Pringle) (Talk) 23:15, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Donald Steitz requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. TeaDrinker 23:01, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
