You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
A tag has been placed on XSketch requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
at the top of the article, immediately below the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}
) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate), and providing your reasons for contesting on the article's talk page, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
You may want to read the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. JeremyMcClean (Talk) 01:57, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
Hello Kinkreet. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Knight Rifles, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: not a 'cornershop' type of corporation A7 is for. The first two refs are half-decent too. Thank you. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 18:00, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
You are invited to join the discussion at Talk:Alpha chain. – Fayenatic (talk) 11:52, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi, Could I please draw your attention to WP:Chem/Structures for any future structures, we are currently redrawing all useful jpg and gif images and clearing all structures off en-wiki to commons. Jpg and gif are raster images which are not really suitable for chemical structures so they are redrawn as svg files, a vector image which render much better. I've classified it for redrawing and moving to commons (Category:Classified Chemical Structures). Ronhjones (Talk) 00:39, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
![]() | Hi there! I thought you might be interested in the March Mini Special Wikification Drive, from March 8 to 23, 2012.

Thank you for your Act of Kindness. :-) I'm sure you could't mean me, because I can be a real SOB sometimes. I just try to do what I can to make the Wiki the best Wiki there is. Thanks, just not sure what I did to deserve it. Take care. :- ) DCS 04:52, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi Kinkreet, thank you for the welcome message. I've been working on improving a lot of pages that have grammar and typo problems. I want to keep learning more ways I can contribute though as I keep editing. I've noticed a lot of the banners on articles that say what kind of problems the article has. Is there a place that has all of those banners so I can find specific ones to put on a page? While working on the pages I see a lot of other problems and think that it would help if I could put one of those banners on it. Comatmebro (talk) 23:21, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for reminding me that I was copied material of others sources long ago in the article, because this fact helps me improve it. I already modified the parts of the article I saw copied. If you see copied some others parts of this article, do you could help me to change them it? As for the neutrality of the article, I did not do anything but draw on different sources, to include this information, Where should I put the awards he has won? in the Music career section, the data are chronological (I do not know when he won those awards). How I can I do to improve the neutrality of the printed article?--Isinbill (talk) 01:35, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
I have got the hang of some of the policies but I still need to get completely familiar with everything. I would really love some help here - thank you! AndieM13 (Leave a message!) 14:16, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

You're the only person I know here so I'm gonna have to bug you again. Is it normal to have articles about a song like this one: Right by My Side. I found it looking at the new pages link you sent me. Niki Minaj is notable I'm sure (even though I think her music is terrible, but that's beside the point). But there doesn't seem to be anything significant about the song that can't just be in the article about the album. What are the options to fix the article? Comatmebro (talk) 00:20, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
Okay thanks. On that talk page, someone just copied the entire article and pasted it into the talk page. It had completely screwed up the formatting on the talk page so that any new messages wouldn't show up. So in that specific case, I thought it'd be okay to delete that. But I understand the reasoning behind not deleting talk page comments and will follow the rules :) Comatmebro (talk) 01:17, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
Here's some featured articles on books and films without references for their plot sections.. It's a widely accepted practice. See some old discussion here. If the issue is notability, perhaps you could use the notability tag.
— Kinkreet , — (continues after insertion below.) Every article requires references. Never did I argue that plot needs references (though I am not arguing it doesn't). All the articles you listed had references. If you consider your article to be simply a plot, then maybe you can merge it to Pedigree_Dogs_Exposed.
"Some info on your Talk page such as Talkback, can be deleted. While others like commentary cannot" You can. "Users may freely remove comments from their own talk pages, though archiving is preferred" — Kinkreet , — (continues after insertion below.) Thanks for that, I wasn't making it clear, I should have said some commentary cannot be deleted (generally) Referring to "There are certain types of notices that users may not remove from their own talk pages, such as declined unblock requests and speedy deletion tags." --Dodo bird (talk) 01:28, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

I started another merger discussion. This one's bigger than the other one. If you have time and are interested, it would be great if you could give your input (whether it's to support or oppose). The discussion is here. Also, I'm not sure if there was consensus for the merger on the last one. Can you check it out and let me know what you think? I don't know if the Right by My Side page has been updated enough to stand alone since that song came out. Comatmebro (talk) 07:49, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
I am mainly working on this project right now which is concentrating on the articles listed here Book:Health care. Do you think immunology would benefit as a separate project? We are happy to here discussion at WT:MED --Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 22:39, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
Many thanks for your kind invitation. However, my knowledge of immunology is extremely limited - my edits to connected articles were to revert vandalism or the addition of unsourced content. I hope your project goes well. Regards Denisarona (talk) 06:38, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
Hello. Thanks for your message. I maybe do not work enough on the English Wikipedia to know what we should do about Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Immunology. However, I'm really interested in immunology and do not hesitate to ask me if there is anything I can do.
Regards, Ediacara (talk) 05:32, 12 April 2012 (UTC).
Hey, thanks for the message. I am very interested in editing/improving immunological articles, and will be keen to help in the near future. For the time being I have to focus on my exams, but after they are over in about 2 and a half weeks, I will be able to spend more time on wikipedia. Adr11iano (talk) 08:26, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
Hi, cheers for the message. I would be very happy to help. I happen to be based in SAF, SK campus. --IcyEd (talk) 11:37, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
Do you know how to make a table/chart or know of a page around here that might be able to show me how to make one? I was working on this page, Julius Mutekanga, for the wikification drive and it needs one. The page might not even be notable but I figure it's a good opportunity to learn something new.
Also, how do you make your name/signature all cool looking? Comatmebro (talk) 05:51, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
First, I will be glad to help, but can only promise limited time - perhaps 2 hours a week on average. I personally would be most interested in copy-editing articles, and will be most valuable in that regard.
Second, about a month or two ago I heard about a study showing getting monoclonal antibodies into cancer cells is much easier than previously thought. You wouldnt know anything about this, maybe have a cite? It got a TON of press, and I meant to check it out, but it slipped through the cracks ... suggestions?
In particular, I'm wondering about a MAB specifically targeted against a mutant with 2-3 consecutive missense codons/amino acid substitutions in the CK8 gene. Thanks in advance. Nice to meet you.

Hi Kinkreet, in May you very kindly had a look for me at an article about Safetray, and cleared it for creation. Since then it's been deleted once, partly because I work for the company's marketing department and was considered too close for the topic. However, I worked with Nyttend, the administrator who deleted it, in order to make it more succinct and neutral, and they posted it last week. It has been marked for deletion again, mostly because of the notability of my sources being called into question. I have checked the rules and believe that they all pass notability criteria, as they are all national or regional newspapers and written by secondary parties, and mostly quite extensive, but I would be very grateful if you could have a look at the page and the discussion of the issues and add your opinion, whether for or against. I haven't jumped in myself, because I don't think my opinion would be considered valid by the deletion side of the argument, but I could argue for the notability of my sources if you think that's a good idea? Thanks very much, Carolinewhitham (talk) 14:14, 7 June 2012 (UTC)Carolinewhitham
