List of vegans
Hi Dilip, I see you added yourself to List of vegans. This is a little bit problematic. Firstly, we require evidence for each name on the list, mainly because we've had a vandal who's added many names to this list who are certainly not vegans, but also because it's good encyclopedic practice. I'm not doubting for a moment that you are vegan because you added your own name, but I actually don't see on your website any statement that you are other than vegetarian. This can readily be solved if you add a statement that you are vegan to your website.

Secondly, the List of vegans is for notable people. The definition of notable normally used in Wikipedia is that the person is worthy of an encyclopedia article, and there are guidelines for this at Notability (people). Without meaning any disrespect to you, I'm not sure whether you are notable. I don't plan to remove your entry so long as you add to your website as above, but I can't guarantee that someone else won't.

I hope you find much to interest you on Wikipedia and look forward to your contributions.-gadfium 19:24, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
