Welcome[edit]

Welcome!

Hello, Chris.Giles, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one of your contributions does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

Also please note that any source used for the Blood Type Diet article also has to meet the standards of WP:MEDRS since the article deals with medical claims. While WP:RS sets the standard for most sourcing on WP, WP:MEDRS is a policy specifically for articles that make medical claims. In short this means that we need WP:SECONDARY studies - as opposed to PRIMARY(case) studies. As far as the material you added goes, it is not acceptable because - as you made clear - no link has been made between cause of action and the blood type diet. For all we know the murderer may have also been a Safeway shopper, but until a secondary source draws a conclusion between murder and shopping at safeway, we are unable to make that conclusion in the article - such is the very definition of WP:NPOV. If you have any questions please feel free to ask on my talk page. N^oformation ^Talk 08:30, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Alfred Giles[edit]

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Alfred Giles, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria. 172.149.159.184 17:57, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
