This will help you understand the basic pillars on which we create new articles, or add information. Do write back for any and every help you might require on this. In case the article is again put up for deletion, do not fret and simply address the issues that any editor might have. This is a helpful place and you should not have any problems, as such.

Grab some glory, and a barnstar
editHi, I'd like to invite you to participate in the Guild of Copy Editors July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. In May, about 30 editors helped remove the{{copyedit}} tag from 1175 articles. The backlog is still over 7500 articles, and extends back to the beginning of 2008! We really need your help to reduce it. Copyediting just a couple articles can qualify you for a barnstar. Serious copyeditors can win prestigious and exclusive rewards. See the event page for more information. And thanks for your consideration.ɳorɑfʈ Talk! 15:40, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Reviewer granted
edit
You have been granted the 'reviewer' userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. –xenotalk 13:34, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

- Hi A.Groot, fret not. Read the message properly. It seems you are trying to copy and paste material from a web page. An administrator has deleted the same quite correctly as our project has no allowance for editors publishing copyrighted material. My suggestion - please write about The Game in your own words rather than copy pasting. But the article might still not get published, as you might not be including reliable sources. Therefore, what I have done is to create a test page for you in your user space. The test page is as follows: User talk:A.groot/Houthoff Buruma The Game. Once you reach the page, click on the edit function and type in your information about The Game, as well as the reliable sources you might have with you. I'll check the page after a couple of days and help you from there. Best. ♪ ♫ Wifione ♫ ♪ ―Œ♣Łeave Ξ мessage♣ 03:15, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

OK, thanks, I guess it seemed obvious / common sense to me, not to others; I understand; I'll try to be more circumspect in reporting in the future. I'm actually pleased that you are so careful to AGF in UAA; I wish same happened in other areas - seeWikipedia_talk:Request_an_account/Guide#AGF! Chzz ► 17:13, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
- Hi Chzz, actually I find you always are perfect in handling new user name requests. And yes, I read the stuff you've written in the above link - the user name policy currently has different interpretations being preferred by different editors. So really, I completely agree with your viewpoint on AGF. ♪ ♫ Wifione ♫ ♪ ―Œ ♣Łeave Ξ мessage♣ 18:09, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
