Welcome!

Hello, Collingwood, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Charles Dodgson (bishop), may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of Charles Dodgson (bishop)


A tag has been placed on Charles Dodgson (bishop) 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.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.  HARSH  TALK  20:34, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

The tag I placed was mistakenly put.  HARSH  TALK  20:44, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Charles Dodgson (priest)
Hullo there shiny new editor, and welcome. Just to let you know, using (archdeacon) as a paranthetical dab is against both policy and practise on the English Wikipedia. Because the man in question was a priest, but not an archdeacon (he was Archdeacon of X, but no-one is simply an archdeacon), and (priest) gives a more accurate general picture of his significance. If you look [here, you will see that there are no articles at all which use (archdeacon). Kindly do not revert my move again. [[User:DBD|D]]BD 12:17, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Can you maybe help out with these articles...
They were created by a university class as part of their final grade/project, some of us were thinking the articles could maybe have a home at Wikiversity, but I need some guidance here. Can they be moved to Wikiversity, are they good enough, etc. Please see discussion on User talk:Dennis Brown at Curious about some new articles. Thanks, Shearonink (talk) 17:20, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
