Wingate16, you are invited on a Wikipedia Adventure!
 The Adventure

Ben Johnson
Hi Wingate. Many thanks for working on the Ben Johnson article, its looking good. However, I removed the long lists from the bottom of the article, since they are not encyclopedic content. Wikipedia is not a place for extensive CV-type lists of achievements, please see What Wikipedia is not and Manual of Style/Embedded lists for more, or leave a note on my talk page if you like. Thanks, Jonathan Oldenbuck (talk) 11:12, 22 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the message Wingate. You can improve the list further by linking to the relevant museums and collections, and adding references, ideally to pages about the collections rather than just from Ben Johnson's website. Dont forget to sign your posts on talk pages by typing this: . Thanks, Jonathan Oldenbuck (talk) 13:10, 22 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Sorry I should have clarified, make internal links to the museums, with references to external pages that show Johnson's works are in their collection. I've started reformatting the list. Thanks, Jonathan Oldenbuck (talk) 14:53, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Solo Exhibition- Time Past, Time Present; Alan Cristea Gallery; London; 2014.pdf


A tag has been placed on File:Solo Exhibition- Time Past, Time Present; Alan Cristea Gallery; London; 2014.pdf requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F10 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a file that is not an image, sound file or video clip (e.g. a Word document or PDF file) that has no encyclopedic use.

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. Stefan2 (talk) 14:44, 29 May 2014 (UTC)
