Welcome!
Hello, Gemmalmcl, 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, and may not be retained.

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 helpme on this page, followed by your question, 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 Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! ♠♥♣Shaun9876♠♥♣ Talk Email 02:51, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File talk:Joseph Merrick skeleton.jpg


Please do not make articles about a living person that are entirely negative in tone and unsourced. Wikipedia has a policy of verifiability and any negative information we use must be reliably sourced, and our articles must be balanced. Negative unreferenced biographies of living people are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images in violation of our biographies of living persons policy will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ♠♥♣Shaun9876♠♥♣ Talk Email 02:51, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

The purpose of talk pages
Hi Gemma,

A friendly note, rather than a templated message like the above - I've removed your comments on the talk page for the photo of Joseph Merrick's skeleton. Wikipedia talk pages are for discussion of improvements to Wikipedia, not the subjects of the articles themselves. Thank you, and I hope this doesn't prevent you having any future involvement with the project.

Best wishes, — Hex    (❝  ?!  ❞)   16:43, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
