Deletion help

Lifted from a talk page:


 * Q:An article I was involved with was deleted, what can I do now?
 * A: Editors have the following options:
 * Ask the administrator who deleted the article for the article to be "userfied". This means a special page is created with your name and the deleted articles name as the title.
 * The trouble with this is that many non-administrators often delete articles without following WP procedures.
 * Do a Google search and hope Google has cached the article. You can then open the cached version and copy/paste into a local file.
 * Request an administrator to e-mail the article to you.
 * Dispute the deletion at Deletion_review.
 * Beg the editor who deleted your article not to fuck with your shit. Wishful thinking, but this rarely works.
 * Instead of Wikipedia, spend time writing on your own books and articles, promote them, find a good agent, earn $$$.



REMEMBER: ''Whenever you write an article, save its source to a file on your computer. If a favorite article is flagged for deletion, EDIT, then copy the source text, and paste to a file on your computer. ''
