Welcome
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * Welcome!
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or sock puppetry
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! Biker Biker (talk) 08:37, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

August 2011
Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to One-China policy, but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. ''Your interpretation of the source amounts to original research because he does not explicitly state that he endorses or supports the policy. Please discuss on the article's talk page if you think something should be added. '' Biker Biker (talk) 01:45, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard
Please don't "bump" messages on noticeboards. They will be seen and answered when they are seen and answered. We are all volunteers and sometimes there is a delay. – ukexpat (talk) 18:34, 20 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Sorry about that; I didn't know the policy. I just saw all of the others after mine being answered so I thought maybe mine had been looked over and forgotten. GrainyMagazine (talk) 18:36, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: SC Bor
Hello GrainyMagazine. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of SC Bor, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: buildings cannot be deleted per WP:CSD. Thank you. SmartSE (talk) 21:08, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for the notice. I always want to learn more about editing here so I was hoping you could tell me what the other best option would be with that page. It really does not seem to be notable since it's just a small arena that holds a local basketball team. I tagged it for notability but if it still has no sources and shows no notability after a while, should it be Prod-ed or sent to AfD? or is there some other CSD that works.

Linking Eng page to FR existing page
Hello GrainyMagazine, and thank you for your awesome help. (I feel so lost actually). The page I created yesterday on Tariq Krim would ideally need to be linked to the FR version, and vice versa. I can't find instructions on this and would appreciate your assistance. Thanks again. --Stephlamy (talk) 14:26, 9 February 2012 (UTC)


 * I just threw in a See also section on the Tariq Krim page with an external link to the French page. I don't know a lot about linking to other versions of Wikipedia, but I found this help page that you could look through to see if there is a better or standard way to link it: Help:Interlanguage links. Let me know how it works if you learn something about that. GrainyMagazine (talk) 22:44, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion contested: Martino Yu
Hello GrainyMagazine, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of Martino Yu, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: "he was awarded the Golden Melody Awards in 2011 with his falsetto tutor, Wen-bin Chou" is an indication of importance. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. B music ian  13:09, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Challenge of Arbee and other Howard Arlen
Arbee, the jazz song, is as significant as any other piece of jazz music recorded. It was recorded by the late Howard McGhee, listed. The data for it was taken from other parts of Wikipedia and from the areas already cited. Your enthusiasm to remove material that is factual only causes the site to continue to be questioned. It is very weak and short on information in Jazz. We run the JazzSkool.org project where we routinely find shortcomings in your source material where you are missing essential content.

Howard Arlen was one of the greatest lyricists in the world. We pulled together source material which was cited.

Do the research yourself, if you like. It will still come up the same way. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Theclevertwit (talk • contribs) 00:23, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
