Deleting Black women creatives -- let me help you get started on Wikipedia

Hey there Herewego72,

I'm an administrator and I'm about to delete an article you created called Black women creatives. I can tell that you are really enthusiastic about making Wikipedia better, and I absolutely want to help you do that. The article, as it stands, doesn't really meet Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, but if you leave me a note here under this message (or on my talk page, I would be more than happy to help you get started. Wikipedia is quite old nowadays and it has more rules than most people realize, but I promise it's worth taking the time to learn the ropes. Hope to hear from you.
