Speedy deletion nomination of Writing.Com

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Writing.Com requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

  Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to BioShock (series) has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, you may not know that Wikipedia has a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. In particular, please be aware of the rules regarding the use of italics: the names of films, television shows, books and ships, for example, should always be italicized, not placed in quotation marks.

Edits to Robot

edit

Hi

I have just undone your edits on the Robot page. It is the Robotics project's most important page and so has to be kept in pristeen condition. I can see that you were trying to improve the article by removing the "we" statements and would like to help you improve those changes by helping you see why they were perhaps better approached by examples.

First of all it is definitely not ok to Americanise statements made in English spelling. Changing "civilisation" to "civilization" is unacceptable as the MoS states that the first used or most used should be applied and stuck to. I have come across many articles where there was a 50/50 split and sticking to the first used is always best practice in those cases.

The sentences which have "we" can be greatly cut down in size:-

your edit - "Since then, people have seen robots finally reach a more true assimilation of all technologies to produce robots such as ASIMO,"

I suggest - "Since then robots have reached a more complete assimilation of technologies producing robots such as ASIMO"

your edit - "As mechanical techniques developed through the Industrial age, people found more practical applications, such as Nikola Tesla in 1898, who designed a radio-controlled torpedo and the Westinghouse Electric Corporation creation Televox in 1926."

I suggest - "As mechanical techniques developed through the Industrial age more practical applications were found, including Nikola Tesla in 1898 who designed a radio-controlled torpedo and Televox created by the Westinghouse Electric Corporation in 1926."


Commas are commonly misunderstood. Many people use speech as their basis for punctuation and commas are placed where breathing would occur. Many of these are unecessary and technically incorrect. There is much help to be found on these matters of punctuation and Mos and general editing style at the Guidld of Copy Editors pages Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors

I think you are a good candidate for membership if you have not already joined. Many of the people there can help you and advise on how MoS affects work. There are also prose exercises designed to help you improve your editing skills, many of which I found to be a great help.

I hope to see you there :¬) Chaosdruid (talk) 21:27, 1 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Kore Gang, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Chihuahua and Sadist (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
