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 (if it hasn't already).

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! —Largo Plazo (talk) 12:55, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Hoodrats
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Hoodrats, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process&#32; because of the following concern:
 * WP:NEOLOGISM, WP:DICDEF.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. —Largo Plazo (talk) 12:55, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Hoodrats
I have nominated Hoodrats, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/Hoodrats. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. —Largo Plazo (talk) 17:30, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

yo braa'
yeah, a lot of the people on wikipedia are d-bags that use automatic programs to delete new pages. you can tell by the fact that this guy has given you three or four messages all about the same thing, and they always greet people as if they're brand new to wikipedia just because they THINK you did something wrong. of course, "hoodrat" is a term that more deserves to be on urban dictionary (which you cited as a source, good job :) ), and not so much on wikipedia. it's all got to do with "encyclopedic relevance" and stuff like that. You definitely showed that you know how to make a good wikipedia article though, so keep up the good work and screw these "revision bots" like Largo -- DrDoog (talk) 17:38, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
