Main page appearance: Titan (moon)

This is a note to let the main editors of Titan (moon) know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on March 13, 2012. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/March 13, 2012. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or his delegate Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:

Titan is the largest moon of Saturn, the only natural satellite known to have a dense atmosphere, and the only object other than Earth for which clear evidence of stable bodies of surface liquid has been found. Discovered on 25 March 1655 by the Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens, Titan is the sixth ellipsoidal moon from Saturn. Frequently described as a planet-like moon, it is the second-largest natural satellite in the Solar System, after Jupiter's moon Ganymede, and it is larger by volume than the smallest planet, Mercury. Titan itself is primarily composed of water ice and rocky material. The dense, opaque atmosphere prevented understanding of the moon's surface until the Cassini–Huygens mission in 2004. Although mountains and several possible cryovolcanoes have been discovered, it is smooth and few impact craters have been discovered. Owing to the existence of stable bodies of surface liquids and its thick nitrogen-based atmosphere, Titan has been cited as a possible host for microbial extraterrestrial life or, at least, as a prebiotic environment rich in complex organic chemistry.

Speedy deletion nomination of Ajman University

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 Ajman University requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.ajman.ac.ae/en/experience/residence-life-and-housing/residence-services.html, https://www.ajman.ac.ae/en/about/mission-vision-and-values.html, and Well Pretty Much everything. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

TFA

Thank you today for Jaguar, introduced (in 2006): "I found this article in so-so shape nearly a month ago and have since greatly expanded it. It weighs in at 35k, which I think a good size for this topic, and has forty refs with dozens of individual citations. The refs mix general interest pages with academic/veterinary work and I think just about everything is covered at the right level of detail. I have yet to find the ideal section structure for a large mammal page; of FAs Tasmanian Devil strikes me as underweight, while I think Gray Wolf is over-specific." - Miss you. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:42, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
