Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Zakhalesh (talk) 11:40, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Ulster Scots Dialect
You are making a mistake in trying to get the change reverted. I have just reverted it. There is no need to go to Miscellany for deletion. -- Bduke   (Discussion)  11:50, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
 * The tag is for proposing a page outside the main article space for deletion, not for adding randomly to pages. Are you serious or just being a vandal? I see you have been blocked. I'm off to bed. -- Bduke   (Discussion)  11:55, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Nonono, i didn't want do delete the page i put the tag ON, i wanted to use the tag to request the deletion of a problem with ANOTHER PAGE, which apparently is done in another way? How do i do this properly?
 * Please slow down and stop scribbling the same rubbish all over the place. Although this edit was effectively vandalism, your edits are verging in the same direction. How could an edit to Articles for deletion/Zakhalesh possibly have any effect? I will remove the block as soon as I have tidied up your recent edits. &mdash; RHaworth 12:00, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

I didn't even realize i had edited zaklahesh, that was a misclick. I just wasn't sure the best place to put the note, and i thought the tags make the action (delete) occur. I figured id put it in a few places and hope one worked, sorry if I made a mess, I got frustrated it wasnt working and got in a big rush. : /

Don't panic
Hi Groupblues12, it seems you were indeed caught in a bit of a mess, and I think you were probably blocked in order to stop you from adding the deletion tags to any more pages - every time you added the tags to a Wikipedia page, it added that page to the requested pages for deletion, which surely wasn't your intention.

What you wanted to do was revert vandalism to Ulster Scots dialects - in order to revert an earlier edit, just click on the "history" tab at the top of the page and find an earlier revision that you want to revert to. Then you can click "edit this page" and save it - vandalism gone! Please don't experiment with articles for deletion tags unless you know exactly how they work :-) --bonadea contributions talk 12:05, 26 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Thank you! You indeed have my goal correct, to revert vandalism to ulster scots dialects.  Revert, that was the word i needed. not delete = /.  glad someone told me how this works before i did that with every vandalism i could find in recent changes. RIGHT!  I was trying to use the tags in some places, and inquire about them in others.  unfortunately i get the impression that if i type out the tags in discussion wikipedia takes that as an attempt to delete whatever page im typing on?  can tags not be discussed without triggering them?  I hope I didnt delete too much / anything irreplacable =( — Preceding unsigned comment added by Groupblues12 (talk • contribs)


 * Or in the history list click undo against the latest version, then you save it. Give an explanation of why you did the undo in the comment, and it will be back to the good version. This is much simpler than nominating things for deletion. Every change can be undone here. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:11, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Now unblocked. Definitely nothing irreplaceable. First lesson: sign talk page messages with ~ . I suggest you spend some time reading through the vast body of help pages. Start with a simple edit. If it does not work as expected, do not go wild with increasingly surreal variations: stop and ask me or any experienced editor for help. &mdash; RHaworth 12:25, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Noted, thanks for the help and the unblock, guess I need to take it slow next time, glad nothing was unfixable =). Groupblues12 (talk) 12:30, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
