Speedy deletion of Kew Observatory
A tag has been placed on Kew Observatory requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. 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 that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Roleplayer (talk) 22:07, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page.  role player 22:42, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I have removed the speedy deletion tag and written a one sentence stub that will prevent the article being deleted while you work on it. Cheers Kevin (talk) 23:31, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

"Automatic registration...by photography"
This long section in the photography article deserves its own article, or perhaps should be merged into the inventor's article. But it feels like too much in the photography article. How about a mention and a link? Dicklyon (talk) 04:10, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

'The House that Lives' listed for deletion
A page that you have been involved in editing, The House that Lives, has been listed for deletion; you may wish to participate in the deletion discussion. Thank you.  Mattie TK  21:33, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

I deleted the page myself. If I can’t take a break for dinner while editing a new page, I don’t think this is worth the effort. For the record, I was defining an entry on this page which you may also want to delete: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Registered_Historic_Places_in_Essex_County,_New_Jersey

I have quite a bit of historical background on this house which I will post elsewhere.

Disambiguation link notification
Hi. When you recently edited Hibiscus calyphyllus, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Hybrids and European (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Deletion of K-PAX (film) Post
Hi Michael, your post constituted "original research", hence my perhaps too brief comment: WP:OR, you'll need to find a "reliable source" or WP:RS to support your claims. - Oosh (talk) 21:30, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi Michael, all of what you propose: comparing works, emailing authors, etc. is original research. Unless you can find a reliable source that draws the same conclusions as what you posted it doesn't belong in an encyclopedia. - Oosh (talk) 00:38, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
