Please refrain from adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to Citizens' jury. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox.

User Bearly541 is no longer at Wikipedia
Hi, I noticed your comment on User:Bearly541's user page. I moved it to the talk page. Is there any help you need? User Bearly decided to leave Wikipedia. Thanks Brian 21:31, 10 August 2006 (UTC)btball
 * By the way, I reverted your most recent changes to the RAHAWORTH version as that one looks more complete and appears to subsume everything yours contained. However, unlike Bearly541, I don't consider your changes vandalism - just part of the normal Wikipedia editing process. If you disagree with this revert please explain why on the talk page of the article. Thanks Brian 21:35, 10 August 2006 (UTC)btball

Thanks, Brian. I will do more work on the page when I have time (it is the subject of some ten years of academic research and the few lines do not do it justice).
 * ok, let me know if there's anything I can do to help. Be careful of WP:NOR. I agree that the article right now is little more than a stub and your help improving it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Brian 21:48, 10 August 2006 (UTC)btball


 * The reason that I thought your entry was vandalism is because you deleted the External Links. Vandals often delete information and try to cover it up with their own "riff-raff."  Sorry for misunderstanding.  Bearly541 21:23, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Your contributed article, Participatory Health Research


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Participatory Health Research. 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 – Participatory research. 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 continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Participatory research – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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, you can place a request here. 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. Fiddle  Faddle  22:18, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Ok, now take a deep breath
It's obvious to everyone that you want to contribute to Wikipedia, and are likely to do so well. You have just started out unluckily. Please read this essay and learn from it. In case you are an academic or an expert in your field, please also read WP:ACADEME which shows how WIkipedia and the world of Academe are different.

Invest the time in reading, please, and then come back refreshed. Everyone here who has gone on to do well has started out oddly. There are no exceptions. Fiddle  Faddle  23:16, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of International Collaboration for Participatory Health Research


The article International Collaboration for Participatory Health Research has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * I havem at present, found no sources to verify that this organisation is notable. It has a web site, but Google News (for example) has trouble identifying reliable sources that discuss the organisation. There are primary sources, but, if this organisation has notability it would, surely, feature in news items. I'm happy to be proven top be incorrect, and that sources exist that I haven;t been able to find, so I am choosing the PROD mechanism as a slow burn deletion route that allows article improvement to meet our need for verification of notability.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

 * At User_talk:TheCatalyst31 you mention a list of learned papers. Please understand that these are not, of themselves, sufficient to assert nor verify notability. In general a paper such as those is a Primary Source, and we need sources that pass WP:RS. They are useful and interesting papers, but do nothing to advance the position of the entity here. Find WP:RS and you will bolt the article into place. Primary sources only verify that a thing exists, not that it is notable. Fiddle   Faddle  11:26, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
