User talk:CpRidge

Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on. Again, welcome! Wperdue (talk) 05:15, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Christopher Ray Prestridge
A tag has been placed on Christopher Ray Prestridge 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

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.

Thank you for your work on Wikipedia. If you are unsure on how to create a page, or how to keep people from deleting your page, you should ask for help. In this case you should have used the following tag to complete the page. Take out the parenthesis, copy and paste the information on the page. Then a legitimate decision can be made on whether to delete or not. If you have any questions, leave a message on my talk page.keystoneridin! (talk) 05:54, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Thank you very much!

Hi. Please consider working on new pages on your user page, rather than leaving blank placeholder articles in the main space of the encyclopedia. Cheers. Hairhorn (talk) 06:10, 1 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi CpRidge. I can move your article there for you if you want, just let me know. --Bongwarrior (talk) 06:12, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Ok thanks. No need. You can delete the 'main space' page- I don't know how...
