User talk:Gbm60

Dear Materialscientist I hope you can help me.

I have been trying to create an article on William Pile of Sunderland who was a foremost shipbuilder on the river Wear, Sunderland up to his death in 1873.

This is my first article and I started it under the title User:Gbm60/William Pile of Sunderland.

I believed this to be a page unseen on the WWW.

I wanted to give the article a name that would better describe Mr. Pile and wanted to change it to William Pile Shipbuilder. I did not know of the move function and so created a page William Pile Shipbuilder and copied and pasted User:Gbm60/William Pile of Sunderland directly into the new page. I am now informed that it has quite correctly been deleted.

I am trying now to rectify my error and place the information on a page William Pile Shipbuilder.

I attempted to use the move function from my original article but I recieved the warning on my discusion page saying the page has previously been deleted and to contact you to which I am attempting.

I have also a warning that a picture I uploaded is about to be deleted. I have searched the Wikipedia help but am getting confused with how exactly to accredit the photo to myself. I have attempted to contact a mentor to correct this. The picture is one that I took personally at the Winter Gardens in Sunderland and I am happy for anyone to use it as they will.

 * I have modified the copyright tag in the picture of W. Pile that should solve the problem. The article was written in a non-encyclopedic style, with numerous citations, most of which had to be converted into the prose. I renamed it into William Pile (shipbuilder) and quickly (and clumsily) brushed up the text. More work is needed to rewrite and add content and references, preferably accessible on the Internet.
