Edit Summary Civility
Hello, and thanks for your help reverting vandalism on ARTICLENAME. I just wanted to drop you a quick note in regards to your edit summary. Please keep in mind that the edit summary function is to tell other editors what you did and why, not as a soapbox or a platform for criticizing other editors -- even if you strongly disagree with their beliefs. I hope you'll take a minute to review this section regarding edit summaries and this section regarding civility. Thanks!~

Edit Summary Civility -- Ownership
Hi there, I just wanted to leave you a note regarding a few concerns I had regarding this edit [DIFFURL] to ARTICLENAME. First, I wanted to remind you about Wikipedia's policy on civility, particularly as it applies to edit summaries. Also keep in mind that, although you may have created an article you don't own it. Please keep in mind that other users may constructively edit the page -- even in a way you dislike. If I can clarify or assist you in any way, please let me know. ~

Test Page/CSD Page

It's a fun way to learn all the basics of Wikipedia and it only takes about an hour! I highly recommend submitting your future articles to Articles for Creation where experienced editors can help you along the way. By the way, you can find some great resources here to assist. Let me know if I can be of any further assistance at my talk page! Thanks, ~

Hello, I wanted to thank you for your contribution at Multibit printing technology and apologize for the likely jarring experience of having your article nominated for deletion.

The Wikipedia Adventure is a great place to start learning and it takes less than an hour! Please drop me a message if I can help in any way. ~

Userspace Draft
Hi! I've noticed you've created a new article but it's not exactly up to snuff in regards to Wikipedia guidelines. I'd encourage you to read this page that explains how to craft an article in your own space. This allows you to take your time without worrying about it being redirected or tagged for deletion. You can learn about Wikipedia's policies on notability and biographies of living people to ensure that when you move your article into "Main" or "Article space," it'll be good to go. If you'd like help with any steps of this process, please let me know! ~

Autobiography Userify
==Autobiography== Hi there! I noticed you created a new page that seems to be about yourself. Keep in mind that Wikipedia has certain guidelines regarding what sort of material can be included in the encyclopedia. I moved your page here User:DeavyJoel which is your userpage where you're free to write about yourself should you like without the risk of it being deleted (though read this in order to understand the limitations of that). If I can be of any help, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. ~

Promotional Article
Hello, I wanted to thank you for your contribution at Paul Elvis Butler and apologize for the likely jarring experience of having your article nominated for deletion. Unfortunately, while I certainly understand your desire to share information about someone special to you, Wikipedia does have many standards that dictate what sort of subjects may be written about and the manner in which they may be written. For example, a subject must be notable and verifiable third party sources must demonstrate this, especially with biographies of living persons. Further, your article is a complete copyright violation and is highly promotional. Finally, your close ties to the subject mean you have a conflict of interest. COI editing is highly discouraged. Clicking on the preceding links will give you lots of information regarding Wikipedia policy. WP:FIRSTARTICLE is a great place to start. Please drop me a message if I can help in any way. ~

MOS
== Mohammed Honorifics == Hello, I've noticed you've been adding "peace be upon him" and similar honorifics after the Prophet Mohammed's name. While I understand and respect that this may be your custom, here on Wikipedia, our policy (see WP:SAWW) is not to add these honorifics as they do not maintain a neutral point of view. If I can be of any help in explaining this further, please let me know on my talk page. ~

New Page Patrol
==New Page Patrol==Hello! I wanted to thank you for patrolling new pages and perhaps give you a few pointers as well. First, when nominating a page for deletion, it is generally good practice to notify the original contributor. If you're not using a utility like Twinkle (only available to registered users) which automatically notifies a user if their page is up for deletion, a notification template is automatically generated and can be copy/pasted from the deletion template on the article page. Also, be careful with the CSD templates. I've noticed you're writing them like this: when you really mean to write them like this:. It's a subtle but important difference as a correctly written template will give the author much more information. I hope you'll consider registering as a user! If I can be of any help, please let me know! -- Non-Dropframe   talk   12:07, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

Longer Explanation
== Speedy Deletion and WP:BITE ==

Hi there! I very much appreciate your work patrolling new pages. However, I'd like to draw your attention to Wikipedia's policy on biting the newcomers. Tagging a page for deletion moments after creation is considered uncivil and may drive away newcomers whose edits are made in good faith. It's generally a good idea to give a page no less than 10 minutes before tagging unless, of course, it's an attack page or some other sort of vandalism. Also, take a look at this template which allows you to give multiple reasons for deletion if an article fits into multiple categories. If I can be of any assistance, you know where to find me. ~

Concise Explanation
Hi there, although I agree that ARTICLE is likely a candidate for speedy deletion, I did want to draw to your attention that tagging an article moments after creation is a bit bitey and doesn't really assume good faith. This, of course, doesn't apply to things like vandalism or attack pages, but generally giving a new user 10+ minutes is a good rule of thumb. ~

Contested Deletion Reply
While I'm by no means calling into question the existence of the orginization, articles on Wikipedia need to meet certain guidelines for notability. As the subject of this article does not seem to meet those guidelines, I've tagged it for deletion. If you have any further questions, feel free to message me on my talk page. Thanks! ~

Longer Reply for COI
Hi there! While I'm by no means trying to scare off a new editor, articles on Wikipedia need to meet certain guidelines for notability. As the subject of this article does not seem to meet those guidelines, I've tagged it for deletion. There are a few other areas of concern too. For example, the article appears to be an autobiography or you have a close connection to the subject constituting a conflict of interest. I would highly recommend going on the Wikipedia Adventure which is a quick and fun way to learn about Wikipedia. After that, read this article to help you get started with a new article. If you have any further questions, feel free to message me on my talk page. Thanks! ~

Friendly Notability Reply
Hey,, you're absolutely right that other awareness months have Wikipedia articles. And I applaud your crusade for positive thinking! However, Wikipedia has certain guidelines for inclusion such as notability which the subject of your article doesn't seem to meet. I realize that having your first article challenged like this isn't a pleasant introduction to Wikipedia for which I apologize. If I can be of any assistance, please leave me a note on my talk page. ~

WP:CENSOR
==WP:CENSOR== Hi there, I noticed you removed some content in order to censor material that some may find objectionable. While I certainly appreciate your efforts to inprove the encyclopedia, please note that Wikipedia is not censored and that content which may be considered obscene can be included when appropriate. Thanks! ~
