Re: Skount
Hi Bobthemarley,

Thanks for your contribution to Wikipedia. I'm sorry to tell you that I'm the one who tagged it for speedy deletion, and so I stopped by to give you a little more information on that.

Wikipedia operates on five key principles, which are the foundation of all we do here--the first one states that all articles must be notable, verifiable, and not contain original research. From reading through what you've written so far and searching for the term myself, it seems that there's no way you'll be able to write an article about the word Skount that will satisfy all of those requirements.

If you can find some verifiable sources that can be used for citation, I encourage you to contest the deletion and add to the article. However, if you simply wish to formulate a definition and find out where exactly the word came from, I suggest you try another site, such as everything2. And don't hesitate to drop me a line on my talk page if you have any questions. Thanks, and happy editing! --jonny-mt(t)(c) 11:10, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
