admin I started working on creating a new "Mohammad Shaikh" page. I need to have the one I created deleted. I read that I am supposed to ask an administrator to look at the deletions before starting on a new page? I would like to create a new "Mohammad Shaikh" page and use a Cheat sheet. I don't know how to link up to the cheat sheet. Thank you kindly,

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. GILO A&E⇑ 23:02, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
Dear Editors: This was a mistake on my part. I went to a page by mistake because this was my first time on Wikipedia trying to make my first page. Please forgive my clumsiness. It was not an experiment. It was an honest mistake. I am very sorry. You did not abide by your own rule of assuming good faith. I am very dissapointed in how many times over the past weeks this rule has been thrown out the window by Wikipedians. Shame! Shame! I want to add that it took me this long to find this message. I have had a very difficult finding my way around in here. It is like a maze made for people who live in England.Mindingthequill (talk) 01:24, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Mohammad Sheikh prefix:Wikipedia:Deletion review, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time.

- In regard to this page, I'm going to have to delete it, because I can't even figure out what underlying page it is referring to. Mohammad Sheikh is still an article and hasn't been deleted. Mohammad Shaikh, mentioned on the talk page, is a redirect. If you want to discuss something with User:RHaworth, please post to User talk:RHaworth rather than creating a separate page. If there is a specific page you would like to have un-deleted and restored to your userspace so you can work on it, please let me know the exact page name, and I will restore it to your userspace if it appears that doing so would be acceptable under Wikipedia policy. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:10, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
Stop repeating yourself, start listening
editDo you ever read the pages you post to? This was the third or fourth time I've had to move a misplaced posting of yours from some random other thread on my talkpage, to the thread in which I had already answered you multiple times over. Please stop repeating yourself over and over again, and start listening to what people are telling you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 16:10, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
- Madaam, you don't need to be so rude to me. I expect you to treat me with respect. Thank you. I am new to writing on Wikipedia. I am still trying to find my way around. I see other people writing on your page and it says if you write me here, I will answer you here on the top of your page. So this means to me that I can write you there. I am not sure how to go about starting a conversation with you there. I have asked you pointed questions over and over again and received no answers from you. I already went to the admin with the deletion process and she sent me to the person who deleted the page. You wrote when you signed off on the page that deleting the page that you did so in error and you would stop editing until you learned more about the Wikipedia rules. If I could see the list of Mohammad Shaikh records I would be able to see these notes to see who signed off and wrote this. This is the very reason I came to you in the first place because you said you made an error.Mindingthequill (talk) 04:14, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
- Just read the table of contents for my talk page. There is an entire section devoted to you, where I answered your requests, several times. And no, I did not write any of the things you just claimed I wrote. "would stop editing until you learned more about the Wikipedia rule" – where on earth did you get that from?
