(Helpme removed)
 * Thank you Infrogmation for your welcome note. Frankly at the moment I am completely baffled as to what is going on with the article that I submitted on Joyce Holms, a Scottsih crime writer.  I posted it on the 8th.Jan 07 and to me it appears to have been accepted, but am I waiting for it to be reviewed?  How do I find it? The search box does not produce it (it should by now I believe). How do I add the name to the list od Scottish writers without being accused of vandalism again?  I really am floundering here. Thanks in anticipation.  Craigower.

Hi There. The article on Joyce Holms has been deleted and if you recreate the article it will only be deleted again. If you disagree with the deletion, you can ask for a deletion review. Joyce Holms has been removed from the List of Scottish Writers, because it lacks notability. Hope I cleared some things up for you, --Ali K 09:25, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Hello again:
I'm affraid this does not solve the problem. I understand the reason for the deletion of the article on the 3/1/07. This is not the article that I now refer to. Perhaps I did not make this clear. I submitted an article on the 8/1/07 regarding the life and work of Joyce Holms who is a best selling Scottish author. This is the one that I am not sure what is happening with. Could the problem be that the names of the articles are nearly identical I also find that when I "save" a page the text runs over the margin, this does not happen when I use the "sandbox". Craigower.


 * Hi. The article that you created on the 8th was not made by your username. Unless you were not signed it when you created it, it just doesnt appear to be there. If you weren't signed in but you know your IP address you can trace the article through using the "user contributions" link on the left of the page. When you say the names of the articles were nearly identical, what was the differemce between them? And the text runs over the page because of the formatting you have accidentally used (the space before the paragraph). I'll fix it for you :) --Ali K 04:37, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Hello again Ali:
I think that it is true that it was not under my user name. I placed it where I thought duffers could get help, which it need, since it was over-running the margin. This appeared to work since when it appeared on "Artilces for Creation/2007-01-08" it had been corrected. By strange co-incidence the name Ali appeared below it and I, at the time, thought someone called Ali had corrected it. However what I thought of as my "user number" is also below it ie. 212 100 250 216. The Artilce number on the page is 41. It is called Joyce Holms Writer. My earlier attempt at an Artilce was simply Joyce Holms. I feel as if I am in a loop here but about to break out. Could you advise on next step, thanks, Craigower. PS. I wrote this on the 12th. but put in the help me on 25th. Jan.07.


 * If you want to get into contact with Ali K in particular, you should leave a message at her userpage. I'm not quite sure what issue you're having--do you mean to say that there are two authors name 'Joyce Holms,' one of which is notable? If you'll clarify what you need, I'll be happy to help you. Otherwise, you may leave a message for Ali K if you like, and wait for her to respond. --Sopoforic 07:20, 15 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, by Talk page is the best way to contact me, otherwise I might not get your message. --Ali K 07:56, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for using my Talk Page. The article is listed there, and so, yes, it will probably be looked at some time. Just a reminder you and sign your comments on talk pages by using --~. :) --Ali K 09:09, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

The article refered to above ie. at "Artilces for Creation/2007-01-08" Joyce Holms is still there and nothing seems to have happened with it. It is now four months since I wrote it. There must be something wrong? Craigower 16:21, 13 May 2007 (UTC)


 * It looks as though your version of the article was deleted January 3rd under Criteria for Speedy Deletion (CSD) A7 and possibly for CSD G4 as well. When you write an article about a person, you have to make sure that they are notable and that you adequately cite sources for any potentially controversial information. You might want to check the deletion log for details on why the page was deleted, and talk to the administrator about possibly recreating the article. Hersfold (talk/work) 16:28, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello Hersford and thanks for speedy response. It is true that an article that I submitted on the 3rd. Jan. was deleted. However I am refering to one that was submitted on the 8th. Jan. and I am sure that it meets all criteria. It is still there on that page. Craigower 17:05, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
