James Lovelock

Hi Ecomimicryproject (interesting username!). Just to say that I've removed the material that you recently added to James Lovelock. I know you intended to add sources later, but the added text appeared written with a very strong POV (to my mind). Please take this to the article's talk page first. As you're a new user, you might like to look at WP:NPOV for further clarification. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! Best regards, --Plumbago (talk) 13:35, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

:Hi again. I see that you're intent on adding this without discussion. Please stop and carefully read the notes on Wikipedia's neutral point of view. The text that you are adding clearly does not satisfy this, being written from a very strong point of view. Additionally, it is unsourced and reads like an original synthesis. If you want to discuss this further, please do so on either the article's talkpage, this page or my talkpage. If you continue to try to shoehorn this text into the article you may be blocked from editing the Wikipedia. Cheers, --Plumbago (talk) 14:11, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

::And here we are again. I would advise you again to read the guidance notes on neutral point of view. The text that you are repeatedly adding to James Lovelock simply does not satisfy this. Nor is it properly sourced. If you wish to add this sort of material to the article, it will need to be heavily edited to remove its POV and reliable sources will have to be provided. The article's talkpage would be an appropriate venue for this. --Plumbago (talk) 19:51, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Another editor has added the {{tl|prod}} template to the article Ecomimicry, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{tl|prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
