Contacting the Yorkshirians on Wikipedia
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you tried to contact the WikiProject Yorkshire by creating a call in the article namespace. Please have a look at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire where you can post your questions. I tagged your "article" for deletion since it was just that, a contact request. If you have more questions about Wikipedia in general, feel free to ask me on my personal talk page. By the way, I do not represent the Yorkshire project, I just happened to come across your request.

Speedy deletion nomination of How do I contact wikiProject Yorkshire
A tag has been placed on How do I contact wikiProject Yorkshire requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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. noq (talk) 18:17, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. A page you recently created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new pages, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests, and consider using the Article Wizard. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article. You may also want to read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. noq (talk) 18:18, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

You should go to the page you were directed to earlier and edit it to add your request. Creating new pages to ask questions just wastes every bodies time and will not get you a reply - but may get you blocked from editing. noq (talk) 18:21, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
 * (edit conflict with reply above) You can contact Wikiproject Yorkshire by leaving a message at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire; but you cannot demand that they reply at once or in any particular time frame - everyone at Wikipedia is a volunteer, and members of that WikiProject will check the talk page when they have time and when they want to. More generally, for questions about how to use Wikipedia, ask at the Help desk rather than creating an article. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 18:26, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
