New article

edit

You've written the article on your user page. If you search for Roger Woods, you'll find we don't have an article on anyone of that name, so you don't need any disambiguation ("Textile Designer and Artist") in the title. The search page will say "You may create the page "Roger Woods", but consider checking the search results below to see whether it is already covered." Click on the redlink, and that'll open an edit window for a new article under that title. Then write your article, but have a look at the Wikipedia:Manual of Style for the conventions used. --Nicknack009 (talk) 11:55, 15 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

ようこそ
  • You don't need to read anything - anybody can edit; just go to an article and edit it. Be Bold, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people.
  • Ask for help. Talk to us live, or edit this page, put {{helpme}} and describe what help you need. Someone will reply very quickly - usually within a few minutes.
  • Edit existing articles, before you make your own. Look at some subjects that you know about, and see if you can make them a bit better. For example, Wikipedia:Cleanup#2009.
  • When you're ready, read about Your first article. It should be about something well-known, and it will need references.

Good luck with editing; please drop me a line some time on my own talk page.

There's lots of information below. Once again, welcome to the fantastic world of Wikipedia!

About Roger Woods

edit

I think perhaps you have not yet done a Google search to see if there is anything about Roger Woods online other than his own website? Try searching for > "Roger Woods" textile < and see what you can find. There is more than you would think.

  • For example, here is an artist's profile. OK it's on a commercial site, but it's better than nothing maybe: [1]
  • And, I see that a piece of his is listed at the National Gallery of Australia website. That's totally legitimate. It's here:

[2],

and there may be other relevant listings too.

Unfortunately the name is rather a common one, so there are plenty of other people whose entries clutter up your search, including at least one other artist.

Anyway, good luck with the article. Best wishes, Invertzoo (talk) 20:12, 16 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Ulyssesdove

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on User:Ulyssesdove, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.
