Your article, Evolution of the Atmosphere and its effect on Animal Life, is very interesting. However, it is not a candidate for inclusion in Wikipedia because it constitutes original research and will likely be deleted as it stands. Wikipedia is not and cannot be a source of primary information. All information in Wikipedia must be the product of third-party sources, and verifiable. I would urge you, though, to extract your own personal questions and conclusions from this article and resubmit it, because I can see the basis here for a very informative article. If you have any questions, please leave me a message on my talk page, and I'll be happy to help. Denni  talk 20:55, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Evolution of the atmosphere and its effect on animal life
Nice work on the article so far! I'd like to offer a couple of suggestions: drop the preamble and modify the introduction so that it is more of an abstract. If you can provide them, citations are important. I would also remove these two sentences: ''However, my re-interpretation of that evidence has led me to new conclusions on evolution. Items 3 and 4 are speculative but follow the logic of the first two points.'' They immediately point to original research, which has been the death knell of articles in the past.

I know you're new to Wikipedia, so don't worry too much about the formatting. If you feel it too challenging, I'd be happy to do the formatting for you when you've finished with the text.

Keep up the good work.
