I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Though we all make goofy mistakes, here is what Wikipedia is not. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to see the help pages or add a question to the village pump. The Community Portal can also be very useful.
Happy Wiki-ing!

Welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome your help to create new content, but your recent additions (such as The Evil Empire: 101 ways England ruined the world.) are considered nonsense. Please refrain from creating nonsense articles. If you want to test things out, edit the sandbox instead. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Hatch68 16:12, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
P.S. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you need help with anything or simply wish to say hello. :)
(Evil Empire) I'm not sure why I keep getting directed to this section. Please, pardon me - and if you're able to move my comments north-ward, I appreciate it. I'm not sure I understand WP:SNOW. Are you saying that this article may not be nonsense, but it meets other criteria for speedy deletion and therefore should be deleted anyway (i.e. db-copyvio)? Trigam41 20:04, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
I have added a "((prod))" template to the article Scaipod, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest 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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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.
