hello

Theravada
I changed the Theravada page to BCE/CE. Please see my talk page and the Talk:Theravada.

One the Theravada page the following sentence seemed confusing to me in respect to the timeline:

Thus the modern Pali Canon was now essentially completed. It was brought by Venerable Mahinda to Sri Lanka in 246 CE and was committed to writing in 110 CE. It is still in use today by Theravadins.

Is the first date suppose to be 246 BCE? You may want to check on that fact. Roxi2 01:24, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Ramz
A tag has been placed on Ramz 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 an organization or company, 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. かんぱい！ Scapler (talk) 03:02, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Why your article was deleted
Hi. When you created the article, at the top of the editing screen there was advice starting "Before creating an article, please read Your first article." I would like to repeat that advice. That page includes the important warning, in bold: "Articles that do not meet notability and do not cite reliable published sources are likely to be deleted."

Notability, a requirement to have a Wikipedia article, is not a matter of opinion but needs to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and press releases.

Why delete your article so quickly? New articles are created at a rate of more than one a minute - 14 in the last 5 minutes when I checked just now. Regrettably few of them are on suitable subjects, regrettably many are personal attacks or copyright violations which must be dealt with quickly. When we get a one-liner like "Ramz Media is a documentary film production company specializing in various human rights issues" it would be nice if the (volunteer) New Page Patrol had time to search for references, check whether the company is serious or is just a schoolboy with a videocamera, discuss with the originator why they might be notable... but they don't have time, and therefore for restricted classes of articles, including makes no credible assertion of importance or significance, a patroller may tag for speedy deletion and an admin who agrees may delete.

Don't be discouraged - if you can demonstrate that Ramz are notable, by all means put the article in again, but do read WP:Your first article first, and get together enough material, including references, to make clear that the article is going somewhere. You can put at the top, which will protect it for a short time, or you can create it first in your user space - WP:Your first article tells you how to do that.
