HERMES
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your article about the HERMES experiment ran afoul of a couple of minor Wikipedia policies — but it's nothing that can't be fixed, so I hope you'll help us forge it into something we can keep. The links above will explain some of those policies; but the major problem was, Wikipedia policy forbids original research. In other words, we can't publish an article including language like, "We have been operating this experiment for 11 years" — but we could publish something like, "HERMES began its first run in 1995," as long as we have a citation.

It's mostly a matter of semantics; but the good news is, it's easily fixed. I added some sources to the bottom of your article, and I edited the overview toward more encyclopedic language. You'll notice that someone has already tagged the article with a deletion notice, but don't worry: I think that, with some minor revisions to bring the article in line with Wikipedia policy, there shouldn't be any problem keeping it online. Good luck! Cribcage 11:24, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
