Welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia, Dericksc! I am LouriePieterse and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- Introduction
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

- Thank you @LouriePieterse . I will take you up on the offer. I have just begun some talk topics on a few local, rural government pages to update some sorely out of date pages. Once I propose a draft or two I'll let you know. dericksc (talk) 18:00, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, you may not know that Wikipedia has a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia, as you did in Midwest Sports Fans, makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. LouriePieterse 09:03, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
The article Arma Shahidi Fitzgerald has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Non-notable per WP:BIO, no significant coverage online from WP:Reliable sources, asserts only that subject was winner of competition with unspecified notability.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. MuffledThud (talk) 08:54, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Vines High School. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 15:35, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing.

- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Vines High School, you may be blocked from editing. Two editors have reverted your addition of a non-notable name to the alumni list. Please start a discussion on the article talk page, and gain a consensus. Do not edit war. Magnolia677 (talk) 15:46, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
- Magnolia677, first I would like to sincerely communicate I am trying to make a page better. It was severely out of date due to recent changes to the organization (ISD). I would disagree that I am being disruptive. I have opened a talk page. If I am doing something wrong then please provide guidance or thoughts. The delete, two word summary, and this accusatory message is a lot. I'm trying to help. Let's take this to the talk page. dericksc (talk) 19:49, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
- Please read WP:BRD. It does not mean restore your contested edit and than post something to the article's talk page. You have now been undone a third time. I suggest that you read WP:EW. Two of your entries have neither Wiikipedia articles nor reliable sources showing their attendnace, and the third has an article but only an unsourced claim for his attendance. And adding a dead 2006 reference you copied from somewhere is not useful. Meters (talk) 21:48, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
