Your contributed article, Sea life minnesota


Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Sea life minnesota. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - SEA LIFE Minnesota Aquarium. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will to continue helping improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at SEA LIFE Minnesota Aquarium - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, 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; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Baseball  Watcher  22:09, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

SEA LIFE Minnesota Aquarium
Thank you for your updates to the article. However, I noticed that you did not provide any citations, but an awful lot of detail. WikiPedia does not allow original research (see WP:OR), and requires that articles include citations for relevant material so that it can be verified by others (see WP:Verify). Please consider leaving at least the URL of where you found the information (enclosed in square brackets) in the text after the material it cites. Someone else will eventually convert those into proper citations. Also remember that this is an encyclopedia, not a tourist brochure or the Web site of the aquarium. The amount of detail provides is probably excessive for this venue (see WP:Encyclopedic). Don Lammers (talk) 23:29, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
