User talk:Davies1960

Welcome
Hello, Davies1960, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you created appears to be an article about yourself. This is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. Your user page, however, is a great place to write about yourself, making sure to stay within user page guidelines. Just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit it normally.

The page you created about yourself has been or will shortly be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, but if you want to use the content from it, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

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 your user 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 my talk page. Again, welcome! Instawisdom (talk) 14:43, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

I see you are continuing to work on your article in your userspace. A few things : The article as is is likely to be deleted, as no keep rationale has been provided in the deletion discussion. While your effort to imnprove the article is appreciated, please read WP:RELIABLESOURCE to make sure you understand what kind of sources we are looking for. In particular, none of the sources reflect in depth reliable third party coverage of you.

Your one possible saving grace would be the notability (sports) rationale, specifically the motersports section. NMOTORSPORT if you can provide evidence that you meet these criteria, than the article will be deemed "inherently notable". However, you would still need to provide sources establishing WP:VERIFIABILITY for any content in the article.

Let me know if you have questions. Gaijin42 (talk) 15:05, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
