Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/The Theory of Natural Systems

Message originally posted at User talk:RHaworth.

Hello Roger

Neither my copy editor nor I could contact you before, so we are hoping this will work It might even be the right place!

I wrote the above article and everything at Wikipedia is uttertly strange to me. So I am probably doing it all wrong; lost in the Wikipedia jungle.

If you are able to give me any advice - maybe a listing of the sections that need attention - I would much appreciate that. As a busy man you may not have time, but maybe you know a friend who would. Please do this on the discussion page, so other editors can see that I am trying!

The words I chose were original and the research consisted of reading 50 references in order to select and quote from them. So is "original research" inevitable? My aim is to share with your readers my realisation from the references that the ancient studies of Nature have developed into modern Information Age theories with startling possible applications in philosophy and Medical Practice.

I could make the article shorter by omitting all the things that seem my opinions. These words come from the references. This would force the Wikipedia reader to read the original words rather than see them in the article itself.

Many thanks for your help.

Talk:The Theory of Natural Systems will get deleted if the article is deleted. This talk page will remain indefinitely. I am not sure which you would prefer!

The conclusion, "original research" is, I fear, inevitable. My best recommendation is that you should publish your essay elsewhere. I believe you are an ex-BlueYonder subscriber so you are entitled to a free website - come and join me - I have a website there. Or if that is too daunting, try one of the many free wikis.

As to advertising your theory, I am not into bulletin boards and forums so I cannot really help you. I hope your theory does flourish. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 14:47, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
