Well, you've certainly hit the ground running and for that, kudos! Now you've done an amazing amount of work on this article today and that is impressive but the problem is that the article isn't yet featured article quality. The most obvious single difficulty with it is its length. We normally expect featured articles to be a minimum of 1500 words and this is barely half that. The other difficulty, as you freely acknowledge, is that there is probably not sufficient information available to expand this to the required length. The normal route for a featured article is for it to be
peer reviewed as an early stage so that specialist input can be obtained. To be candid, from my experience of FAC, this article, in its current form, will fail but will in the process absorb the energies of over-worked reviewers. May I suggest that you withdraw the article, for the time-being, from featured article candidacy and instead devote time to working it up to meet all the usual
criteria? I hope you don't mind me writing to you in these terms but it can be very disheartening for a new editor to have their cherished work mauled at FAC and you are obviously someone who has much to contribute to Wikipedia in the longer term. If you do decide to withdraw the article, and it is my strong recommendation that you do do so, you simply need to post Withdrawn ~~~~
on the nomination page. Withdrawing the article at an early stage, before it acquires any opposes, means the withdrawal will not appear in the article's history. --

Dear Jess, I thought that I was adding useful information to the "Genesis Creation Narrative" site. Anastasius of Sinai (Anastasius Sinaita) discusses the Genesis creation narrative extensively in 12 books in his Hexaemeron. His Hexaemeron also contains citations of many previous commentators on the creation narrative: from Philo to Basil the Great. Thus his Hexaemeron, in many ways, is a compendium of commentaries on the creation narrative by Fathers of the Church prior to 700. Most students and scholars do not realize this, because his Hexaemeron was not published in the original Greek and was not translated into a modern language until 2007. Anastasius himself, despite his enormous importance in the Middle Ages, is often not taught in universities, because critical editions of his works have only begun to be published. Thus I also added a site about his life and works in general.
If, however, these two links still seem gratuitous, I would be happy to remove them. I do not want to be contentious. I enjoy your work on Wikipedia too much! (I did not see, at first, who had removed the two links.)
So let me know what you would like.
Thanks for your patience,

Your addition to
Hexameron has been removed, as it appears to have added
copyrighted material to Wikipedia without
permission from the copyright holder. For
legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be
blocked from editing. I also note that
Anastasius Sinaita was mainly copyright violations.

In order to be sure that you will not continue to add copyright violation, I need you to respond here please about the warning. You should also not use the Minor edit box for adding/changing text, adding links, etc. It's for minor spelling, grammar, formatting, etc. changes. Dougweller ( talk) 08:34, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
I see you are editing right now, adding the same links you've been adding before and marking your edit M for minor. I will block you today if you don't explain what you are doing, acknowledge your copyright violations and agree to stop. I have just realised who you are, but that doesn't excuse the copyvio. And you need to read WP:COI. Dougweller ( talk) 16:39, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
Dear Doug, I hope this matter has now been resolved. I am the author of most of the Wiki article on Anastasius, the author of the websites (from which I took information), and the author of the book (which I referenced). The ideas are the same in all three places. But now I have changed the wording in the Wiki Anastasius Sinaita article a bit, to make it more original.
Let me know if I should still make further adjustments.
And again I am sorry for my obfuscations. I am trying to learn to be an upstanding Wiki citizen.
