I wonder if you could explain what List of SAT Words starting with N and similar pages are? I don't know if this is something to do with the US education system, but to me for one it looks like just a list of words with definitions. To be a good encyclopedia article it needs some context. Definitions of words usually get deleted from Wikipedia very quickly; would you mind explaining what it's all about either on this talk page or Talk:List of SAT Words starting with N.

The normal title for such pages would also be List of SAT words starting with N.

Hi, Hosamsherif; welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not just copy information from the Internet into the Wikipedia, we must respect copyright laws. Just because something is commonly available does not mean it is necessarily public domain. I am especially worried about your lists of SAT words, since it appears these were probably originally copied from some SAT study guide. Also, Einstein's Puzzle was just copied from another source. Instead, you should try adding original content to encyclopedic articles. Kevin Saff 15:17, 27 Apr 2004 (UTC)

urban legend about Einstein's puzzle

Hi Hosamsherif,

I've been the editor of the archive of the Usenet puzzles newsgroup (rec.puzzles) since the 1970s, and over the years we've seen this alleged "Einstein puzzle" several times. Let me assure you that Einstein did not write it, and he never claimed that only 2% of the population can solve it. This puzzle is really a special case of what is commonly called a "logic puzzle." There are several series of magazines published by Dell (and others) that contain puzzles just like this one. You can find them in the puzzle section of your local magazine rack; look for titles like "Dell Logic Puzzles."

There even is a program that was written to solve this kind of puzzle. Here is a link to it: [1].

Speedy deletion nomination of Sharplet

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Sharplet requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Noiratsi (talk) 14:48, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
