Community Leaders at Service of Society
Don't be disheartened by rejection of your first article. Everyone here was a first-time editor, and made similar errors. You have to remember that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and must therefore have some minimum guidelines about notability of the subjects it covers.

Remember that the presence of an article is no guarantee that other similar articles will be acceptable. The original may have slipped through the cracks (and might be eventually deleted if someone notices), or might have had better references to establish its notoriety.

A common mistakes of new editors is to write articles on topics that are dear to them, but which may not have enough notoriety on a global scale to be encyclopedia material. Remember that this is not a judgment on the value or worth of the topic of the article, or its editor, but simply making sure that what Wikipedia covers remains of general interest to the readers.

Don't take your first edits personally. Persist, read the style guide and the notability guidelines and I'm sure you'll be a valued editor in no time. Happy editing! Coren 19:24, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
