User talk:Iaindb
Hello Iaindb, and welcome to Wikipedia! The first thing you should know is that we encourage you to be bold. Feel free to edit and improve articles, by clicking any 'edit' link.
If you'd like to test what Wikipedia can do, check out the sandbox - just type and save the page and your text will appear. That's the beauty of a Wiki.
For more information check out our tutorial - it's designed with newcomers in mind, as is the help section. If you'd like to get involved with current projects, have a look at the Community Portal. There are always tasks for users to do, ranging from copyediting to expanding stubs.
I hope you'll enjoy your time here, but be warned, it can become addictive! Feel free to message me, I'm more than happy to help. As an added tip, sign any message you post so users know that you've said it. To do so is delightfully simple, just use the wikicode ~~~~.
Once again, welcome! James Kendall [talk] 14:04, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
Powercorp[edit]
Hi, Iaindb! Before creating Powercorp, you might want to take a look at WP:CORP, which is the guideline on the notability of companies and organizations. Also, since you work there, you'll want to look over the conflict of interest guideline. If you have any other questions, please feel free to message me. Thanks!

- Yes, you could just go ahead and create it. But you will run in to lots of opposition and there's a high probability it will get deleted again.
- What I recommend is a two-fold process. First, create the article within your own userspace. You can read about your userspace at WP:USER. You can create the article by going to User:Iaindb/Powercorp. Having it in your userspace doesn't mean it won't get deleted, but it's *far* less likely to be bothered.
- While you're working on the article in your userspace, find a couple WikiProjects that might be able to help. If you show lots of good faith by inviting others to create the article with you, it's more likely to pass muster. I suggest reviewing WP:WikiProject to see who might be able to help.
