Responding
editYou are very welcome! I am from the South African neck of the woods. FLXD is code for my real world surname. Your article deals with an interesting subject, and I imagine a lot of people could use the clarification. If you want to get away from the dictionary definition approach, try to add a little "why" into it: why does this term or that term exist, what makes it important and/or useful (goes to notability). To what extent (numbers!) is the term actually used? (and source/s!) This would be more encyclopedia content than dictionary. It really is up to you: you could take what you've got to Wiktionary, or you could rewrite it as an encyclopedia article. One other tip: the formatting of your article is very monolithic: big blocks of text. Try to break it up into headings and sub-headings. See Cheat sheet for wiki code shortcuts.
A couple of good things to know about Wikipedia:
- You cannot break anything that an editor / admin can't fix. Every change is recorded and filed, and a page can always be rolled back to a good version.
- Anyone, including you, is entitled to edit anything on WP, except protected pages.
- For you, as a new user, it would be wrong for anyone to come at you with feathers all a-ruffle. Experienced users would know to check your situation before deciding how to approach you. The rule on WP is "assume good faith" (until or if proven wrong!).
- Before editing, it is only sensible to look at the article's talk page to see if the point you are concerned about has been discussed already. If you want to make an important change, it is good to mention what you are doing and why on the topic talk page. You don't have to wait for a response.
- If you have any questions, try visiting the tea house. They are very friendly and will not mind any question, no matter how 'green'.
You can edit my talk page any way you like, feel free. You can't break it, and if I don't like what you did I can change it back!
I hope you will enjoy being a Wikipedian! David_FLXD (Talk) 05:02, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
Your latest submission at AfD
editHi, and welcome to Wikipedia. I took the liberty of "prettying up" the article you just submitted on NNN. It appears to be an interesting subject and it is good you referenced it. So many newbies don't realize the importance of that! The "prettying" I did was all pretty straightforward stuff and changed your content not one iota.
- If you look at this message in the edit view, you will see how numbered lists are done. You put in the # symbol at the beginning of the line and it is all automatic.
- Use the equal sign (=) to offset section headers. Place them before and after the header. The number of equal signs control the font size. More is less. Apparently the coding designers were fans of Louis Sullivan.
- To get your references to show, make a new subheader References (you would type it ==References==). Under that, type {{Reflist}}. The superscripts and all are automatic, too.
Hope that helps. Gtwfan52 (talk) 06:49, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

editHi....sorry about your bad luck at AfC. I am thinking that the reason they denied you for advertisement was because (due primarily to your use of capitalization) they thought an NNN lease was a product you were trying to sell as opposed to a financial device which anyone can sell or use. So, I started cleaning up your capitalization when a cranky kid and Friday night stopped me. Please continue. In the process of that, I also noticed you used way too much financial jargon. You are writing for a worldwide, general audience, not a trade group. You will have to clean that up because I lack the knowledge to wade through it. That gives you a starting point on cleaning it up. Just a couple other points.
- If you want an indent at the beginning of a line, type a colon. (:) Typing spaces at the beginning of a line boxes your text and makes a big mess in wiki-markup. You indicate a paragraph break by pressing the enter key to insert a blank line.
- When you post on someone's talk page, please use the "new section" button at the top of the page. That gives you a chance to give it a title and puts it in the right place, at the end.
- When you post on a talk page, or in a discussion, or pretty much anywhere but while editing an article, you should sign your communication by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end. That will automatically sign and timestamp your communication.
Good luck. I will be mostly off wiki over the weekend. I'll check your progress when I get back. Cheers. Gtwfan52 (talk) 23:17, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
Enjoy your weekend.
editHello again,
- You are probably right about the editors mistaking the NNN for a product exclusively sold by NNN Brokers USA. Thanks again for your time. I hope you and the little one have a good weekend. Until next time =]

Adoption
editI hear you are looking for adoption. One of the best adopters, IMHO, is User:Worm That Turned. He wasn't my adopter, but mine retired. I have heard nothing but good about Worm. Gtwfan52 (talk) 07:38, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
- Also, a really good place for newcomers is The Teahouse. The Q & A board there is a great place to ask even the simplest question about Wikipedia and how to edit. You will get none of the attitude that you find in some other places here. Gtwfan52 (talk) 07:45, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
- Hi Ggarver. I see you dropped this note on the adminsitrator review talk page. Now, I assume you were talking to me, what with my name being Dave, having an interest in adoption and currently at the review. I'm actually a touch busy on the adoption front at the moment, have you had a look at the list of adopters found at WP:ADOPT? If you ask around a few of them, I'm sure you'll find someone!

Speedy deletion nomination of NNN Lease
edit
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 NNN Lease requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://residentialrealestateappraiser.blogspot.ca/2014/11/real-estate-investment-nnn-lease-is-net.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed 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 modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines 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 removed 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.
