New article
Hi, Gabi! Thanks for asking; the article looks really, really nice. Much better than the average first effort. I was just logging offbut if you have any other questions, please leave word on my talk page. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 01:58, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

How to Read Literature Like a Professor (book)
Hi. Sorry to be slow answering. The best way to get comments on an article from experienced reviewers (which I'm not) is to post a request at WP:Requests for feedback. That's a nice, clear, neatly laid-out article: what I think it needs most is some comment about the book from independent sources - your only references are the book itself, but to establish notability (without which any article may get nominated for deletion) requires showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" - such as reviews, or articles about the book. See also WP:Notability (books). Regards, JohnCD (talk) 14:56, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
 * For instance, if it's a New York Times bestseller, you should be able to find a reference to confirm that (and the statement needs one for WP:Verifiability). One other point - you say it's an NYT Bestseller Novel - is that right? It doesn't sound like a novel to me. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 15:04, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

April 2011
I see you have made some legitimate edits in the past, but your edits over the last few days have been peculiar. You nominated several pages for speedy deletion, where the criteria clearly didn't apply, and you made some odd edits to other random articles. I understand that you may be upset over the likely deletion of the April 11, 1954 article, but you will be blocked from editing if you continue this way.-- Kubigula (talk) 04:03, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Kent-geo-stub is the correct template to use (I've added it). Mjroots (talk) 07:32, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Puzzled

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
