Behavior contributions
[edit]Thanks for all your work on the dog-behavior-related articles. If you check some of the edits I've made, you'll see the standard formatting for the first line of the article and also the standard naming for articles (lowercase except for proper names; full org name instead of abbreviation). Also I've nominated Paul Rawlinson for deletion for a couple of reasons. One is that the name doesn't appear to be particularly notable; I did a google search and found only Paul's own web site and one article written by him. That's not usually sufficient for inclusion in wikipedia. The other thing that's very strongly discouraged is people writing articles about themselves, even if they are notable. If you have any questions, you can ask on my talk page. Elf | Talk 00:24, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
Dog behaviorist article
[edit]I'm with you on the edits to this article for the most part. Can you help out to try to get the anonymous editor to participate in a discussion about this? Please use the Edit summary when you make changes, and if if the anon editor changes things back again, you can say something like "reverting changes again, please see talk/discussion page" where I have already posted a statement about my understanding of the situation. You're welcome to also post there to show agreement. Thanks. (Normally I'd put a note on the other person's user page, but the anon user is using a service where their IP address is different every time, so I can't do that.)
