User talk:Good afternoon/Archive 3

A belated welcome!
Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Good afternoon. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:
 * Introduction
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Help pages
 * How to write a great article
 * Editor's index to Wikipedia

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Questions, or place helpme on your talk page and ask your question there.

Again, welcome! Good afternoon (talk) 05:18, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

Why you add template:Report vandalism on Wikipedia:Wikipediholism test?
Why you add template:Report vandalism (deleted per my Tfd) on Wikipedia:Wikipediholism test? There is no point, and the template has no doc at all when you add it. (When my Tfd is ongoing, the author of the template added a doc.) See diff.S/s/a/z-1/2 (talk) 01:27, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

Relisting
Hello Good afternoon, before relisting any article for a third time please read this. You should not relist an article for a third time unless the consensus is not clear for the closing admin or editor. You can relist an article for a third time if both the parties (delete/keep !voters) have potential policy related arguments. Anyway, happy editing!

On Wikipedia we have a policy that articles do not duplicate other articles. If an article does so then db-a10 is a valid speedy deletion criteria. I believe this article was correctly tagged. Can you explain exactly what is wrong with the tags? Furthermore as I understand it, only administrators may remove the speedy deletion tags, I have checked and you do not appear to be an administrator. I am therefore re-instating the speedy deletion tags. If you have a valid objection then you should raise it on the article's talk page and not delete the tags.
