Re: Please recognize cosmicbaseball.com
The reversion of your addition of Molly Pauker's date of birth to July 24 was based upon the simple fact that an article about her does not (yet) exist. Current practice is to not have links to deleted or non-existent articles within individual date articles. You may have even seen the comment in the section you edited reading, "Do not add your own name or people without Wikipedia articles to this list. No red links, please." To correct this you need to create an article about her that meets Wikipedia's standards for inclusions. For more information on what is entailed in this process please read Your first article. --Allen3 talk 09:54, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

 * Thanks for saying hello. You may know that I recently posed an editorial question on the Talk page of a contentious topic.  In my decade or two since joining Wikipedia, my edit count might be in the dozens, so I don't expect to quality for making content edits on such pages for awhile.
 * Again, a question on concept is not an edit of content. We should be able to discuss ways to improve content delivery without fearing censorship for simply asking questions. Jetpower (talk) 03:49, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Please allow me to refer to this reference, which appears to describe precisely my earlier non-edit action:
 * "Non-extended-confirmed editors may use the "Talk:" namespace only to make edit requests related to articles within the topic area, provided they are not disruptive."
 * At your earliest convenience, please reconsider and revert the elimination of the question I asked, or explain why you won't. Thank you for the work you do. Jetpower (talk) 04:04, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
