Your GA nomination of Place cell
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Place cell you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Chiswick Chap -- Chiswick Chap (talk) 21:00, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

Many thanks for working on the primary sources. However, Moser, Kropff and Moser's paper in Annual review of Neuroscience 2008 that you just removed seems to be a careful review of work done ... by key researchers no doubt, but still, it's a tending-to-secondary review article... I'd have thought it quite worth keeping really? All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:10, 16 January 2020 (UTC)


 * I didn't actually remove it, I just noticed it was cited 3 seperate times, so I made sure all of the citations had the same number. It is indeed a great resource! Achaea (talk) 20:13, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

Arianna Morales moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Arianna Morales, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:LGBT scientists from Venezuela


A tag has been placed on Category:LGBT scientists from Venezuela requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
