Test pages
editHi Extirpate, I see you have made some test pages. Test pages are great for practice, however you should create them in what is called user space. I suggest creating your test page at User:Extirpate/Sandbox, if you do it there then you can practice editing all you like without risk of its deletion. If you have any questions, please let me know. Cheers, --kelapstick(bainuu) 08:40, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Property:age
editHello Extirpate,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Property:age for deletion, because it seems to be a test. Did you know that the Wikipedia Sandbox is available for testing out edits?
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Kadzi (talk) 18:17, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

editPlease refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits do not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 19:34, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
