User page typo?

[edit]

I see that your user page says "formerly Mistop", but it was actually Mistoop. You may like to put it right. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 20:52, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Panhumanism for deletion

[edit]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Panhumanism is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Panhumanism until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. giso6150 (talk) 05:47, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Hippoppotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia

[edit]

Hello RailwayScientist,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Hippoppotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia for deletion, because it seems to be vandalism or a hoax.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. TheLongTone (talk) 14:43, 14 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
