Speedy deletion of My new wikipedia article

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, 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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.

Your first wikipedia article

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia. I've removed your "article" because it is clearly a test edit,a nd not an actual encyclopedia page. There's some guidance on writing your first article atWikipedia:Your first article, which might be helpful before creating a new page. Let me know if you have any questions. Euryalus (talk) 10:33, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Perhaps the above wasn't clear. Wikipedia articles need to be about a subject - they can't just be "My first article" and a collection of random text. If you can't think of a topic to write about, you might find something at Wikipedia:Requested articles. Alternatively, have a look around and find an existing article you have an interest in and which you can expand a little. There's some basic rules for adding cotnent to Wikipedia, which can be found here. But put simply - this is an encyclopedia and its articles must have a topic. If there's a subject you think should be covered, or is covered but not well enough, feel free to create an article on it or add to one. But don't just create test or nonsense pages as you've been doing.

This is not intended as an unfriendly message, just some guidance on what Wikipedia is about. let me know if its still unclear, or if I can help in any way. Euryalus (talk) 10:44, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 10:45, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Test pages

Please stop making test edits to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism, which, under Wikipedia policy, can lead to blocking of editing privileges. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Euryalus (talk) 10:50, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Why your articles keep getting deleted

The main reason is that you keep giving them names like "my brand new wikipedia article". Articles must have a name that describes the content of the article. Mayalld (talk) 10:53, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Hmm, can i not rename them later? Kinda hard to give them a more descriptive name when I dont know what theyre gonan be about yet. I tried computer since i madeo ne oon those but its taken already and wont let me edit it, just says view source

No. Unless you know what your article is about, there is no point creating it! There is also no point in creating an article that duplicates an article that already exists. Wikipedia doesn't work by having several articles on a subject by different people. It has a single article, and many people add content to the article to improve it. I've just added a welcome message to your page, which contains some important links that may help you to edit productively, and in line with the rules. For the time being, I would suggest that you practice editing in this sandbox before starting on live articles.

Please note that if somebody leaves a message on your talk page, you should reply in the same place, and that you should sign your talk page posts by typing ~~~~ at the end of the post Mayalld (talk) 11:03, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Working on articles

Hi, I've just noticed the troubles you've been having, and believe the solution is quite simple. Create a user sub-page, and work on the article there - for example, User:Planeteer12/mynewpage. Click that, create the page, and edit as much as you wish.

Articles can be developed and tinkered with in user space without any problems; they cannot, however, enter the main space until they meet policy requirements - remember that Wikipedia is 'live' at all times.

I hope that this will help; good luck,  Chzz  ►  14:32, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
