External links

Please do not add commercial links or links to your own private websites to Wikipedia for the purpose of attracting visitors to these sites. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopedia. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Articles for deletion nomination of Social Work in the Relationship Education Movement

I have nominated Social Work in the Relationship Education Movement, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Social Work in the Relationship Education Movement. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. DGG ( talk ) 04:23, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 22:43, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Sudden unintended acceleration

Hey, saw your recent post on the term used to describe, broadly the phenomenon. I might agree with your sentiment, but think nonetheless the term has become the de facto "handle" for describing the phenomenon. But do you think you could find a good source to substantiate your opinion — say, something from the NYT or WSJ — something really solid, that supports the view that "sudden unintended acceleration" is a misnomer? If so, it belongs in the article. 842U (talk) 15:35, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Where are the references for your edits? • Sbmeirow • Talk • 02:57, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia is suppose to be verifiable, otherwise it is considered original research. The article WP:No original research states "The only way you can show your edit is not original research is to cite a reliable published source that contains the same material", which means that "eyewitness account" is original research. I could add mounds of text to Wikipedia for cities in Marion County as eyewitness accounts, but I can't, per Wikipedia rules. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 20:18, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Keystone Pipeline

If you want to upload photos that YOU took, then follow my instructions that I wrote up after I learned how to do it. If you did NOT take the photos, then don't upload the photos because Wikipedia is extremely picky about photo copyrights. None of my photos have been removed by Wikipedia.

Wikilink

Hello. I saw your edit summary "germane referral to another wikipedia site". For your information, what you called a "wikipedia site" we normally just call an "article" (on the same site, namely the English Wikipedia), and such a referral we usually call a "wikilink". This is not meant to be pedantic; the point is that using shared terminology helps us to communicate with ease.

Also, there is no point in trying to sign an edit summary with ~~~~; it just doesn't work. We normally only sign contributions to talk pages and similar discussion pages.  --Lambiam 01:46, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Edit summaries

You don't need to write ~~~~ in edit summaries: this doesn't become your signature, and the edit is already attributed to you in the page history. Sorry to point this out, but I thought I should tell you. --Rubbish computer 02:13, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

Erica Enders-Stevens: Source available for reaction time?

Hi. I see you've put a lot of time into the wording in the Erica Enders-Stevens article, about her reaction time ("A central part of her success in drag racing competition relates to her superior ability in establishing very low reaction time..."). A while ago, it was marked as "Citation Needed", because there's no reference included to substantiate the information. Do you have a reference that can be added to the article? Otherwise, this just looks like original research, which you probably know is not suitable for inclusion (Wikipedia:No_original_research). Thanks. Gmporr (talk) 16:10, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

Every NHRA (National Hot Rod Association) sanctioned drag race includes the reaction time, that tiny interval between the illumination of the green (go) light and the front tire breaking the light beam that triggers the start of the timing clocks. She has won many races when her car was actually slower for the timed quarter mile, but she got across the finish line first, because she left earlier (but legally because the disqualifying red light did not illuminate) than did her opponent. Her reaction time performances at the starting line are clearly above average. I will continue to search NHRA records to see if they compile cumulative performances in this regard, in comparison with other competitors.
