I have nominated Intelligent disobedience, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Intelligent disobedience. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Shadowjams ( talk) 12:25, 13 November 2009 (UTC) reply

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment.

Hi there. I saw your Intelligent disobedience article and thought you may benefit from some helpful advice. It does look like the article will likely be kept, but in order to help make sure people understand that the subject of an article satisfies our notability policy, it is helpful to include some reliable sources. I see you tried to do that by adding a reference to a blog, but unfortunately blogs cannot be accepted as reliable sources. For an extensive explanation of what we can and can't accept, please see WP:RS, but the short version of that is, we need newspapers, magazines, books, scholarly journal articles, etc. If you have any books or magazine articles that talk about Intelligent disobedience (maybe a magazine for dog trainers?), please add that as a citation to the article. The more you have the better! And if you need help, let me know and I'll do my best. <>Multi‑Xfer<> ( talk) 07:20, 14 November 2009 (UTC) reply

Hi again! Your sources are exactly what we need, thanks for adding them. As for comments on your talk page, the complete policy is at WP:TALK, but as for your own talk page you can delete anything you like. The only time you can't delete something from your talk page is if you're blocked and someone placed a block notice there. But since you're not blocked, feel free to clear the whole page out if that's what you wanna do. Have fun and thanks for the great first article! <>Multi‑Xfer<> ( talk) 06:01, 16 November 2009 (UTC) reply

Thanks. It was...interesting. I wont be doing anything here again, but nice to meet you and take care. Thanks. Forest Fawn ( talk)

On November 28, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Intelligent disobedience, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits your article got while on the front page ( here's how) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
