Welcome to Wikipedia, MainStreetStudio! Thank you for your contributions. I am The Interior and I have been editing Wikipedia for some time, so if you have any questions feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. You can also check out Wikipedia:Questions or type {{help me}} at the bottom of this page. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

- How to write a great article
- Discover what's going on in the Wikimedia community
Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that will automatically produce your username and the date. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! The Interior (Talk) 20:27, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
Thank you for the welcome, Interior! I'm very new to Wikipedia and can use all the help I can get. MainStreetStudio (talk) 18:41, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
Your user name
edit
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "MainStreetStudio", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it may be the name of a company, and the name implies shared use, which is not permitted. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. -- Diannaa (talk) 00:21, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa, I made up my username based on the fact that I'm an artist and I have a studio on Main Street. It's not a business. Is this OK or should I change it? Many thanks for your help in advance! MainStreetStudio (talk) 18:44, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
- Hi again. It looks like the editors who were initially concerned about your username are satisfied with your explanation. Your username is acceptable - no further action is needed from you. Thanks! --Drm310 (talk) 12:41, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
Nomination of Lorna Brown for deletion
edit
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Lorna Brown is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lorna Brown until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. - McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 18:28, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Mcmatter, I'm new to Wikipedia having created my first page as part of the Art+Feminist Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon. There were some very experienced editors on hand to provide support and review articles so I thought my page on Lorna Brown was a solid beginning? I've read through the notes on the page and I'm able to provide published secondary sources to support the material that is present and will do so as time permits in the next day or two. Does this address the concerns? Please, advise:) Thanks! MainStreetStudio (talk) 18:50, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) Hi MainStreetStudio. Articles for deletion debates typically last for a period of seven days, so there is still time for you to make improvements. If you have comments which specifically address the deletion debate, please leave them at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lorna Brown, as no one will be looking for them here.
- Alternatively, you could request that your article be converted into a userspace draft. This is a draft article associated with your account, stored in the user namespace and intended to go into Wikipedia as a proper article in the future. This will give you lots of time to work on it, without the worry of it being deleted before it's ready. --Drm310 (talk) 19:31, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
