Welcome!

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

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 22:52, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Swisha

A tag has been placed on Swisha requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to User talk:Orangemike has been reverted, as it appears to have removed content from the page without explanation. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.

deleting swisha

the deletion of swisha was completely ridiculous. neither of you took the time to view or read any of the links provided. had you done so, you would have seen that there is more than enough information to support the creation of that page. i have seen lesser pages created with less info and credentials. how great wikipedia is, let me count the ways.

Neither MySpace nor Facebook is a reliable source; your article did not include any verifiable evidence that the subject was notable in any way. Please follow the live links in this message for some information about how to establish notability, and we'll ignore the vandalism. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:28, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

The college newspaper article did not even so much as mention Swisha; and certainly failed badly to constitute substantial coverage. And no, MySpace and Facebook are certainly not reliable sources which can be depended upon for any substantial information. --Orange Mike | Talk 12:44, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Warning May 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like to remind you not to attack other editors, as you did on User talk:Orangemike. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Welcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is an encyclopedia and the articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits, as you did to User talk:HellinaBucket. Readers looking for accurate information will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, try the sandbox, where you can write practically anything you want.

We take these policies very seriously and if you can't do the same Wikipedia is not the place for you. Please take some time read the policies and contribute USEFULLY.Hell in a Bucket (talk) 08:53, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
