Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

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   on this 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 Where to ask a question or ask me on.

Speedy deletion of Jamelle Elliott
A tag has been placed on Jamelle Elliott 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 a person or group of people, 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. RadioFan (talk) 16:28, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:SelmaLordSelmaBook.jpg.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:SelmaLordSelmaBook.jpg.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:47, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the templates
I had a note in my to-do list to create templates for the UConn championship years, but you beat me to it.

On a different note, are you planning on working on the Jamelle Elliott page, to save it from deletion?--Sphilbrick (talk) 12:27, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

A proposed plan to make the bio structure more consistent
I'd like to work on improving bios of basketball players, starting with current and past players at UConn. I've created a page summarizing some of the issue and proposed solutions User:Sphilbrick/sandbox for current bio structure. I'd love to have some feedback on my proposed changes before going ahead and making the changes. I know Wikipedia encourages bold editing, but every one of these pages represents the contributions of people who may have deliberately chosen the section titles or or current order - if there's a good reason not to change, the current format should remain. I would like consistency, but not a foolish consistency.

I'm adding this to your talk page because I've noticed you contributing to some of the pages.

Please comment at the talk page whether you agree with my approach, or have better ideas. -- SPhilbrick  T  00:58, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Changes to Bascom
I'm not happy with the changes you made to the Bascom article. You made wholesale changes, without a single explanation. Some of the changes may be improvements, but some are not. Please note that I've proposed a standard format for wbball bios - I'm most certainly not in charge, but I'd like to discuss the options if you disagree with them. Have you looked at my suggestions? Do you disagree? I'm sure there's room for improvement, but I'd like input on the way to improve it. -- SPhilbrick  T  12:26, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Please be sure to paraphrase thoroughly
I've noticed that much of the content you've been adding to articles is taken verbatim from UConn Hoop Legends. Please be sure to put as much as possible in your own words. We can't accept copyrighted content. If you have any questions, let me know. Thanks, Zagalejo^^^ 18:56, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of Malik Wright
I have nominated Malik Wright, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/Melanie Barnett. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message.  Pinkadelica ♣  20:26, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
