Regarding: List of Member banks prefix:Talk:Federal Reserve System

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. From the page you have created, List of Member banks prefix:Talk:Federal Reserve System, I am concerned you may not understand Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a forum.

Removing Speedy at List of Member banks prefix:Talk:Federal Reserve System

Hey, I've removed the bot's message (as you can see :D). Sorry about it, but it can't identify when users are requesting page deletion, unless you use {{db-g7}}, in which case it will. So if you happen to need a page you created deleted in the future, just replace it with {{db-g7}}. Cheers - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 01:29, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the speedy responses, folks.

FYI I managed to create the page in the wrong place by using "Search Talk Archives" on Talk:Federal Reserve System to search for "List of Member banks", then reviewing the search results and clicking on the link:

You may create the page "List of Member banks prefix:Talk:Federal Reserve System", but consider checking the search results below to see whether it is already covered.

I thought that would add the section I wanted to the talk page, but instead, embarrassingly, it created an actual Wikipedia article with that bizarre title. Jondoig (talk) 01:43, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Anthony Watts (blogger), but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Blogs and other wikis rarely qualify as reliable sources and primary sources are generally not acceptable, and more so when they have been visibly altered.Novangelis (talk) 13:28, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
