Your contributed article, How are the Space Race and the Cold War related to each other?


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, How are the Space Race and the Cold War related to each other?. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Space Race. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Space Race – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. TheLongTone (talk) 17:45, 16 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Its probably not best to start contributing to Wikipedia by creating a new article. (all the markup for references &c takes a bit of mastering) And its always a good idea to see whether the topic about which you have an interest already has an article. Space Race certainly discusses the topic in the context of the Cold War. Hope this does not put you off.TheLongTone (talk) 17:50, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
