Thought-Space

Hello! Your article, Thought-Space, looks interesting - unfortunately, we have no way of knowing where this information is from or even (if we are not physicists) if it makes any sense. Please read WP:V and WP:NOR and consider substantiating the article with citations. Best, Sandstein 21:41, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Original research

I asked if the article for Quantum idealism was based on your own original research on the talk page for that article. Sandstein has asked about the Interpretive reality article on your talk page for the same reasons. After looking through Sandstein's talk page, I can't find any place where you've answered his question and you have not answered mine. I have no choice but to assume bad faith and also assume that you are ignoring us in the hopes of keeping your writings on Wikipedia. So, again, I'm asking you if these articles are from your own original research or were these concepts previously reported by any journals, books, or magazines of any sort? If you cannot provide citations for them, I will put at least these two articles up for a vote for deletion. I believe we've been more than patient waiting for you to reference your sources.

Hello, Donlee. You are most certainly welcome at Wikipedia, and we value your contributions. However, please understand that Wikipedia operates by consensually accepted policies. One of these policies is that original research is absolutely not allowed. All contributions must use reliable, published sources. Please read the pages these links point to thoroghly. If you then feel that your articles merit deletion, place the text {{db-author}} on them, and an administrator will delete them. Either way, if it is not demonstrated by 8 April (UTC) that the articles Quantum idealism, Thought-Space and Interpretive reality are compatible with policy, I will nominate them for deletion at WP:AfD. (Other editors may do exactly as they please, including nominating them sooner.)

Please do consider contributing to Wikipedia in an encyclopedic fashion after reading up on policy. We always need good editors! Thanks. Sandstein 04:38, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
