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.

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!

Speedy deletion nomination of Zovue
A tag has been placed on Zovue requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for web content. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Hi
Hi Fredrocks, I just stopped by to welcome you to our project and say hi. I noticed that you had some questions about articles and such, so I thought I'd offer to answer any questions that I could. I think I noticed first at my friend DragonFly's talk page, but anyway - I thought I try to offer some info.

Starting out is always a tough thing here at Wikipedia. I think I had over a hundred edits before I got one that actually stayed in the article .. lol. Anyway, we do want you to continue to edit - and having an article deleted is NOT an indication that you're doing anything wrong - it's just that as articles get looked at, they are evaluated by our various policies and guidelines - and sometimes they don't meet a particular standard. Since we're an encyclopedic project, rather than a free webhosting effort - we have certain criteria that has to be met for articles to stay online. The Zouve article looks like it didn't meet all the criteria for being notable. You can read about our policy at: WP:N. If you want to look at some of the more specific things, we have some information at WP:WEB that would likely explain things specific to a website. If you have any questions, please feel free to click on the little question mark in my signature (it links to my talk page), and drop me a line. Perhaps if you think the site does meet our standards, you could even work on it in what we call a sandbox - (that is a sub-page for your user space) - then when there are enough references to verify that the site is notable - we could move it out into an article again. Let me know if you have any questions, and I'll do my best to help. Kind Regards. — Ched : ?  03:00, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
