Hello Wizard191!

I've made a few editions to this En-Wikipedia so far, (playing around in the sand-box of tech-adolescence so to speak...heh!). Although as you may see, I also am working within the Wiki-format of 2 other Wiki-based Dictionary's @ [1] & [2]. I created the Main pages of both, as well as have over 15,000 contributions (and counting) chalked up to my 'tenure' there (that's not intended as being an egoic statement, just plain fact). I'm also a machinist and have worn several other 'hats' to the point of very comfortable "rag-tag" hat-forms. :-). Iow, at 60 yrs. young I'm no kid anymore...not in any purely 'chronological' sense that is. The heart & mind however, knows no age.

You may see that as I filled-out my 'user page' here with all the open-ended, dead end 'red' links, I'm wondering if there's an Inter-wiki code by which I (we) might tie these together? If so, that would be what we're looking for to make this a seamless and entirely world-based, reliable system of knowledge and fancy alike. (caringly and respectfully so, I mean). I'm going to scout-around and see IF I can do this. I think I may know a way but I need to play around with it...unless you have a direct code I can apply. (?) ...That's a question. It seems to me that there IS a way to tie these several Wiki's together so that our links reflect the links of one-Wiki-to-another. (?) That's another question.

Hang on a second while I see if what I'm thinking about will work. IF it does, then all the red-dead-end-links on my 'user page' as it appears to me right now, will turn into blue-links with the tying-together already in place...(this is purely experimental on my side here and more 'sand-box' playing coming up). I promise to you...and all involved in these endeavors...I'll not commit any riffity-raffity materials without it being fully verifiable -- AND within the bounds of copyrighted yet non-plagiaristic entry. I remain in awe of all of you, and committedly yours...oh and, btw, my email address is [email protected], and we can carry-on in private if you like. Richard Babcock (talk) 22:25, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche

A tag has been placed on Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing no content to the reader. Please note that external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article don't count as content. Moreover, please add more verifiable sources, not only 3rd party sources. 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. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. GregJackP (talk) 20:34, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
