Welcome!

Hello, Molandfreak, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like Ruskin, Minnesota, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted (if it hasn't already).

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Elm-39 (talk) 15:08, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Moland, Minnesota

A tag has been placed on Moland, Minnesota requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 17:20, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

An article you created maybe deleted soon: Tools which can help you

The article you created: Ruskin, Minnesota may be deleted from Wikipedia.

There is an ongoing debate about whether your article should be deleted here:

The faster you respond on this page, the better chance the article you created can be saved.

Finding sources which mention the topic of your article is the very best way to avoid an article being deleted {{Findsources3}}:

Find sources for Ruskin, Minnesota : google news recent, google news old, google books, google scholar, NYT recent, NYT old, a9, msbooks, msacademic ...You can then cite these results in the Article for deletion discussion.

Also, there are several tools and helpful editors on Wikipedia who can help you:

  1. List the page up for deletion on Article Rescue Squadron. You can get help listing your page on the Article Rescue Squadron talk page.
  2. You can request a mentor to help explain all of the complex rules that editors use to get a page deleted: Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User. But don't wait for a mentor to respond to you before responding on the article for deletion page.
  3. When trying to delete a page, veteran editors love to use a lot of rule acronyms. Don't let these acronyms intimidate you.
    Here is a list acronyms you can use yourself: WP:Deletion debate acronyms which may support the page you created being kept.
  4. You can vote to merge the article into a larger or better established article on the same topic.

If your page is deleted, you still have many options available. Good luck! travb (talk) 21:31, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Another welcome

Hello Moland freak, and let me welcome you also. I suspect I'm one of the few readers who has actually been to the places on which you have written articles, most recently in Hader. (I didn't blink, so I remember it.)

You may want to watchlist Wikipedia:WPMN, the Minnesota wikiproject, and post on its talk page should you have questions. There are a number of very active Wikipedians in Minnesota who may be willing to work with you.

I did undo your changes on Eagle Mountain. There are two, one along the lakeshore at the Lutsen ski hill in the Sawtooth range, and one inland in the BWCAW in the Misquah Hills. The second of these has its own article; the first does not. Confusingly, they are both in Cook County, so one cannot disambiguate them by county. The inland one seems to be much better known, as it is the highest point in the state.

Best wishes. Kablammo (talk) 19:30, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

GNIS

I see that you've discovered the GNIS. Good job — it's a great source! One way that will help you use it is {{gnis}}: just type {{gnis|featurenumber}}, and you'll get a citation — for example, {{gnis|654592}} provides the link to the Beaver record. The template automatically formats the name of the link to be the name of the article; if you want it to have a different title, add a third parameter. For an example of this, you can cite the Beaver post office with the code of {{gnis|2051987|Beaver Post Office (historical)}}. Nyttend (talk) 21:58, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Frontenac

Thanks for adding the Ski and golf section to the Frontenac, Minnesota page, but I'm afraid the ski slopes have been closed for several years now...it's all golf at this point as far as I know. Sabiona (talk) 23:14, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Metro area highway navboxes

There are several in the U.S. Roads project who are not in favor of these. The linked discussion started about their usage on RCS-style lists, but there are six editors, out of the 7 commenting in that discussion, who all favored their elimination. You might want to reconsider creating more of these boxes. Your work may end up as part of a TfD before too long. Imzadi 1979 → 06:38, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
