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.

Thank you. iBendiscuss/contribs 22:59, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi!
I think the article's future looks fairly good now... Don't be put off editing by this AfD (Articles for Deletion) thing. It can (and does) happen, but the result is by discussion - and the Keeps are numerous. Peridon (talk) 16:01, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
 * That article is pretty sound. I live only a few minutes away from the bridge, I will endeavour to get you a good image of it for this article. Parrot of Doom 17:53, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi
Diictodon, would you be interested in joining WikiProject Greater Manchester? You don't have to "do" anything, its just a collection of like-minded Wiki folk who have an interest in the Greater Manchester area. You may find it of use, we're one of the more successful locale-related Wikiprojects on Wikipedia, with plenty of Good and Featured articles. Parrot of Doom 18:12, 20 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, Parrot of Doom beat me to the invitation. Even if you chose not to join, if you have questions relating to articles on Greater Manchester feel free to leave a note at the Greater Manchester Wikiproject's talk page; there are quite a few active members who often help with articles and give advice. Just today for instance a new version of the article on Rochdale Town Hall was rolled out. Anyway, I hope you enjoy Wikipedia. Happy editing, Nev1 (talk) 21:17, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
