Welcome!

Hello, Apunk4ever, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like Apatia no, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

Speedy deletion of Apatia no

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Apatia no, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

  Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Misfits (band). When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. --IllaZilla (talk) 04:41, 27 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Please read Misfits (band)#Style. The band's 1990s incarnation (with Michale Graves & Dr. Chud) is cited by several sources as being much more heavy metal-based than punk-based. The infobox summarizes this by listing heavy metal as one of the band's genres. The article covers their entire history & career, not just the punk years. You will notice that when you go to edit the infobox, there is a hidden message asking you to read the Style section first. Please do not change the genres in the infobox again, as they are all supported with references to reliable sources in that section. See also Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Reliable sources. --IllaZilla (talk) 04:52, 27 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to the page Misfits (band). Such edits constitute vandalism and are reverted. Please do not continue to make unconstructive edits to pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thank you. Until It Sleeps 04:53, 27 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Misfits (band). Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. --IllaZilla (talk) 05:05, 27 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

  This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits, such as those you made to Misfits (band). If you vandalize Wikipedia again, you will be blocked from editing. --IllaZilla (talk) 05:26, 27 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion of Apatia no

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Apatia no 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 a band or musician, 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.
