Speedy deletion nomination of Prey reversal


Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Prey reversal requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Welcome!
Hi Maggie Spring. I moved your article to Predator-prey reversal, since that seems to be the more common term in the literature (both for the general theoretical model and for actual instances). I've also added some references. There appear to be a number of other references on the topic, so I think your article should be safe from deletion, but remember that when you add new claims to this article you'll want to include a reference for them so a critical reader can verify the content of our article. Please let me know if you need help with anything on the article. Thanks! Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:21, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

A note to you
Hello Maggie Spring, and welcome to Wikipedia! I have been working quite a bit on Predator-prey reversal, a very interesting article that you started. I hope you don't mind my leaving you this note. I wanted to say that I think you are a very good writer, lively and interesting, but I wanted to recommend that when you add a section to an article on Wikipedia, first read through what you have written carefully, bearing in mind that Wikipedia is simply an encyclopedia, not a magazine. The prose in Wikipedia needs to be quite sober in tone, because the function of an encyclopedia article is simply to be informative, not to be entertaining or amusing. It's also important for a section on a minor subject such as "in popular culture" to be kept to a minimum, so that it does not detract from the main topic of the article. In any case, welcome and thanks for all your contributions; I hope you like it here! Best wishes, Invertzoo (talk) 11:05, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
