I apologize for messing this up. I need to spend some more time reading the instructions. Please feel free to delete this. With the holidays near, I won't have time to get to this just yet. Thanks and Happy Holidays. Jeanne ChesFamily (talk) 20:16, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Happy holidays to you too. Some tips: Avoid personals like 'proud', 'we', and so on. They say 'SPAM!!!'. Try to get it up as an article first go - as an article, I'd have ignored it. As a User Page, I took note. (Bad wording there - you know what I mean. I think I do.) Try to get as much 'notability' as you can. For a non-national circulation, that's harder. Can be done. Why not as a User Page? A lot of people think they can get away with things there. In fact, the speedy deletion was refused, so it stays.... When you get a moment try expanding it, and good luck with it. I often hope that putting a tag on something will result in improvement. It often does. The other cases are usually pure advertising.... Always remember Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a directory or free web host. 'About' not 'by' is my catch phrase. (Coughing my head off here - not as coherent as usual. Hope you don't catch it...) Peridon (talk) 22:22, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
