Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Mike Sinnett requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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 "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 deleted 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.

Polio

Hi, thanks for your edit on polio. A couple of comments

you have used the word "currently". Please consider qualifying this using the Template:As of

you haven't accurately summarised the source. The other type of polio - cVDPV - has 28 mentions on the page. Currently in the news because of Gaza, but last year detected in New York and London.

Bob (talk) 07:44, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey,

Sorry about that, I've went ahead and added the "As of" template. As for your second point, I'm not exactly sure how to summarize the source. I've just went ahead and found a different source which is more clearly targeted towards WPV.

Cheers,

3602kiva (talk) 17:01, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I agree it's tricky. I'm aiming to do a few edits to other sections of the page to clarify the nature and threat of cVDPV. It's a featured article so I need to plan carefully. Bob (talk) 17:23, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Citation needed misuse

When adding statements to an article, such as you did to Pinus longaeva, they need to have a reference. Adding the Template:Citation needed to your own statement is not appropriate way to avoid this requirement. If you do not have a reference for information you want to add to Wikipedia, find a reliable source or do not add it. 🌿MtBotany (talk) 21:22, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
