Thank you for Editing Getting Started with Ubuntu Linux!
editHowever, it is with regret that I must inform you that the above page is not suitable for Wikipedia, and must be deleted. Sorry! A main reason is WP:NOT#SOAP: Wikipedia is not a soapbox. Basically, you can't advocate for a certain product or service in an Encyclopedia. Imagine reading Encyclopedia Britannica and finding advertisements all over it! No, Wikipedia is also an Encyclopedia, and it must maintain a neutral point of view. You may be seen as spamming, which Wikipedia discourages.
Also, Wikipedia should not contain how-tos. If you would like to write how-tos (without advocating for anything!) see Wikibooks.
Please help Wikipedia in the future! If you know a lot about Ubuntu, you may wish to improve articles related to Ubuntu. (See Ubuntu (Linux distribution).) Don't forget to maintain a neutral point of view (WP:NPOV). For more information on how to edit and use Wikipedia, see the following welcome note:
Welcome!
