Hello, I'm Little Mountain 5. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Exxon Valdez because it didn't appear constructive. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks!  Little Mountain  5  15:53, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Your contributed article, Hammerfall band


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Hammerfall band. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – HammerFall. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at HammerFall – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Phileasson (talk) 08:50, 15 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Copying the English article into the new article was a clever idea, but please don't do it again; when you copy and paste text into a different article, it makes a mess of determining the history of the page (who wrote what text). Also, the article was almost deleted. I have now changed it into a redirect: see this edit for how to do that if you ever discover again that you have made a new article on a topic that we already have at a different title. Hi! Welcome to Wikipedia! I'm going to go find a welcome template to put below with links where you can read a bit about our policies, because the place can be a bit confusing. I hope this hasn't completely discouraged you. --Yngvadottir (talk) 13:19, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Joacim Cans
Hi Dretlord: Please do not create pages here in Swedish Danish! I translated Joakim Cans. However, we already have an article about him at Joacim Cans, so I have made it into a redirect there. You used the correct spelling in the article text, so the moral of the story is, check your spelling when searching '-) Thank you for the effort to fill a gap you found in our coverage, and I hope you stick around and write/improve other metal articles here, but please - only in English. Yngvadottir (talk) 12:52, 15 March 2013 (UTC) ... or you could update that Danish article using info from the Swedish or English articles :-) Yngvadottir (talk) 15:34, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
