User talk:Dr. Daan Vreugdenhil

Welcome

I see that you have been editing for a while on Wikipedia and no one has yet welcomed you. I welcome you and thank you for your important contributions to the Extinction event article. Wikipedia needs more academic input on the subject of extinction phenomena and population dynamics of fragmented habitats. I share your interest in quantifying extinction phenomena. You may also want to visit the Holocene extinction event article where your knowledge will be very relevant. If you have time, try to provide more complete citation details to the sources you use. Hope to see more from you. Cheers. Anlace 15:12, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you Anlace for your greetings. Quite frankly I am a bit lost at this site and certainly don't find it userfriendly. I spent several hours looking for this apparent communication facility without ever finding it. Hope this "edit" reaches you. Please contact me at daanv@birdlist.org so we can communicate. Cheers, Daan

Because of your greeting, I checked my contribution to simply find out that some knowbetter just deleted it. I am sorry but I have better work to do than spending my precious time on sharing my knowledge to then see it being deleted by some armchair scientist. I completely lost my appetite. Cheers, Daan

Notability of Adopt A Ranger Foundation

A tag has been placed on Adopt A Ranger Foundation requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), 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 indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

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. Blanchardb-^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}-timed 19:26, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
