I noticed you edited several tax articles. If this topic is of interest to you, perhaps you'll consider joining WikiProject Taxation, which works to improve tax articles to FA quality. Happy editing Morphh   (talk) 13:08, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Tag
The Assassin game has often been called a glorified game of tag, so would seem fine as a "see also" on that page: "Those who play the game Assassin say it is basically a version of tag that rewards players for being sneaky, investigative and aware of their surroundings."

Proposed deletion of Faith Middleton


The article Faith Middleton has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners or ask at Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. joe deckertalk to me 15:01, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Neurodiversity
I have reverted your removal of material. I don't have a particularly strong opinion about it, but it is more or less automatic to revert edits that remove sourced material. Regards, Looie496 (talk) 22:34, 19 July 2011 (UTC) I moved that paragraph to a more appropriate page (a paragraph about Autism). And kept the sources. The neurodiversity movement is about accepting 'abnormal' brains for what they are, not singling them out for legal protection. So the legal protection paragraph specifically doesn't belong there and IMHO is actually offensive to members of the ND movement. It does belong on a general page about autism (although some info more specific to autism would have been useful regardless of which page the paragraph is on).

(Sorry about the lack of summary. I used to be in the habit, even for small changes.)

Your contributed article, Wild Card Showdown


Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Wild Card Showdown. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Major League Baseball postseason. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Major League Baseball postseason - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. DocTree (talk) 04:37, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Name blending
Hi - I'm glad you're still around. I came across your deleted 2008 article on "Name blending", and I have found a recent source that supports it: Emma Barnett, "Couples fuse surnames in new trend: ‘I now pronounce you Mr and Mrs Puffin’", The Telegraph (November 9, 2012). The existence of the practice is also mentioned in Eviatar Zerubavel, Ancestors and Relatives: Genealogy, Identity, and Community (2012), p. 84, which is clearly a reliable source.

If you are interested, I would like to restore the deleted article and move it to your userspace to be reworked based on these additional sources, and perhaps others that can be found. I would also propose expanding the article to include blended given names, and blended surnames that are not adopted by the married couple, but are given to their children. Let me know what you think. Cheers! bd2412 T 15:17, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I have restored the article as a draft at Draft:Name blending (great use for the new namespace, I think). Thanks! bd2412  T 16:14, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I have restored Name blending to mainspace. Cheers! bd2412  T 02:13, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Tiny Fuppets


The article Tiny Fuppets has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Non-notable website/webseries. After being the subject of a fluff piece on HuffPo once in 2014, it attracted no further in-depth coverage."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 08:36, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
