Your new pages
Hi there. I noticed you've added two new articles How To Initiate A Conscious Astral Projection and A dissertation on the Hollow Earth Theory.. Unfortunately, neither of these are suitable for inclusion in this encyclopedia as they are original research and this project is for documenting information about established and verifiable knowledge.

You are obviously a writer who takes a deep interest in these subjects (and presumably many others) so you could make a valuable contribution to Wikipedia. There is lots of helpful information about how to do things in the welcome template I've added below. Don't hesitate to ask me (or any of the other users - they're mostly a helpful and friendly lot) if you have any queries.

As for your two articles, I would advise adding   at the top of each. This will mark it as a candidate for speedy deletion by request of the article's only contributor. An administrator will then come along and delete them.

All the best. --Spondoolicks 21:33, 16 February 2006 (UTC)


 * I've taken the liberty of redirecting A dissertation on the Hollow Earth Theory. to Hollow Earth. Wikipedia is not the place for dissertations, just encyclopedia articles.  But I'm sure that your additions would be welcomed at Hollow Earth, so long as they conform to WP:NPOV. NickelShoe 19:33, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
