Welcome!

Hello, Ilnyc8, 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 ORCAone, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

Thank you.

Articles for deletion nomination of ORCAone

edit

I have nominated ORCAone, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/ORCAone. 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 contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Rd232 talk 17:56, 18 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Formating

edit

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Your first step in creating articles is learning to format them correctly. I noticed you had made all inter-wiki links external web-links in your articles. Apart from looking ugly, there are plenty of technical reasons why you should not do so. Please write links like this ([[link|links]]) instead of like this ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link this]). In the most usual case this ([[this]]) type of a link is just fine.You can find a good "cheatsheet" on Wiki-markup here, and copy the examples to your own articles. You can also take a look on the help contents. Feel free to ask for help by writing on my talk page. hydrox (talk) 02:52, 6 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

So sorry about that! I have gone in and made corrections to all the links. I do not want this page to be deleted. How can I prevent that? I am positive that the article I have edited is very factual and legitimate. Ilnyc8 (talk) 04:59, 6 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Conley family

edit
 

The article Conley family has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Multiple issues:unreferenced, autobiography, and original research. --From Alabama to L.A. (talk) 17:25, 24 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. From Alabama to L.A.
