Welcome[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page. To stay in Wikipedia, an article has to be about something notable, that is, of general interest. Click on Notability for an explanation of what that means, and on Notability (organizations and companies) for more detail. Also, it must give independently verifiable sources. Articles that don't meet these requirements are likely to be deleted. Follow the links below to learn more:

Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. JohnCD (talk) 15:52, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

I read a good bit of the style guide and guidelines (notability, sources, neutrality). I worked on my first article, and I published it as a basic attempt. It was deleted, and besides an automated code for what was the problem, I got no further explanation. I attempted to simply improve the article altogether, because I agree that high quality is important.
I want to take the time now to discuss the page I created with other editors and administrators so that I can go about publishing it properly and not worry about causing anyone else unnecessary psychological pain. Right now, it's on my userspace with the title Bettertrades. What do I do to follow through on the final steps to publication, and how can I make sure that I am treated fairly and promptly with a discussion if anyone has major disagreements?
Please note that article drafts in the user name space should not be added to article categories. Using the nowiki tag (there are other ways to do the same thing) is one way to keep the draft out of the active category. When the draft is moved back to the article name space, simply delete the nowiki tag. Dbiel (Talk) 01:22, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
