editWelcome to Wikipedia. An article you recently created, When it rains, it poars , may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new articles, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do and please read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. — iridescent (talk to me!) 18:34, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
Please refrain from creating inappropriate pages such as When it rains, it poars. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. NawlinWiki 18:40, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
Please stop
editPlease stop adding the article When it rains, it poars; this is now the third time you have uploaded it. The correct spelling is "pours", and in any case Wikipedia is not the appropriate place for a straightforward definition; items of this nature should be submitted to Wiktionary. — iridescent (talk to me!) 18:40, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

editThank you for experimenting with Wikipedia by creating the page Utah sports jinx. 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. Please don't post original essays here. See WP:NOR and WP:V. "Many people believe" is not a reliable source. NawlinWiki (talk) 21:35, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of Desk rage
editA proposed deletion template has been added to the article Desk rage, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Desk rage. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Ironholds 15:38, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Utah man, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.nbawire.com/boards/archive/index.php/t-412473-p-6.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.
This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 18:54, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
