Every time i try to write a new article or improve an existing article,it gets deleted within an hour about 80%of the time,so from now on i just wont make the effort to try and help you out,because my very many useful contributions have been unappreciated by the plonkers who run this site.

A tag has been placed on Sean fox requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. DMacks 18:33, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Beauchamp middle school
A tag has been placed on Beauchamp middle school requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article.

Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay.

Hi. Nice try, but I'm afraid your teacher is not notable just because she comes from Australia. Do you know that you don't have to create new articles every time? You can just make changes to articles that are already there about things you know about, eg. your favourite TV programme or hobby. Deb (talk) 18:47, 26 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Oh dear, and after me trying to help you too! I hope you're not going to carry on like this and get yourself banned from editing here. Deb (talk) 21:50, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Jenni Davies
The one about Jenni Davies is easy to explain. The reversion was done by a bot, and I'm guessing they operate by looking for words such as "penis", which are often used by vandals and which you used in your contribution. But if you look at the page history, it explains what you should do about it.

The others I don't know about because you haven't specified which articles they are. I may or may not have been the one who deleted them, but I have to do so much deletion of unsuitable articles that, unless you tell me which ones they were, it's hard to say. You obviously know how to look at the deletion log. You need to also understand the rules about Notability and I suggest you go from there to some of the other "help" pages that tell you how to produce good articles and carry out good edits. It would also help if you put something about yourself on your user page, then people will be able to see that you are a bona fide editor. Deb (talk) 17:48, 27 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi. Well, I know you're young, but it would probably help if you did a bit of spelling and grammar-checking before you made your entries.  You could write them in Word first, so that you could do a check, and then just cut and paste them.  I say this because people may sometimes revert changes just because they aren't in good English.  (People aren't really supposed to do that, but sometimes they will do it just because it is easier than making the improvements themselves.)  In terms of sources, any published book is an acceptable source as long as you give the title and author.  If you want to use a website as a source, it should be "reputable" - for example, not just somebody's personal website, but one set up by an organisation like a university or a professional body.  Have a look at the page Citing sources for more information.


 * The thing I'd like you to understand is that these complicated wikipedia "rules" have grown up because some people were abusing wikipedia and deliberately vandalising it. If you look at "Special:Newpages" any time, you will see lots of examples of this.  Unfortunately, that means that a lot of more experienced contributors have to spend much of their time cleaning up, when they would prefer to be doing other things.  The aim is to build an encyclopedia that is useful to people and doesn't contain any false information.  I hope this helps.  Deb (talk) 21:15, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window.

St john's retail park,bedford
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article St john's retail park,bedford, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add  to the top of St john's retail park,bedford. ukexpat (talk) 21:44, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
 * First of all I object to the tone of your message on my talk page. Your incivility was totally unnecessary. Second, in my opinion a retail park in Bedford is not notable as per Wikipedia's definition. Thats is why I proposed the article for deletion. You obviously do not agree so please make your point on the article's talk page.--ukexpat (talk) 16:06, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Once again you have posted an inappropriate comment on my talk page. I have explained to you already how to deal with your grievance over the PRODWarning. Resorting to personal attacks is unnecessary. As you appear to be a teenager I will let it go this time, but any future incivility will be reported.--ukexpat (talk) 20:26, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Notability of The New Eyrie
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on The New Eyrie, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because The New Eyrie seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting The New Eyrie, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that '''this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Speedy deletion of Harpur Centre,Bedford
A tag has been placed on Harpur Centre,Bedford, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.
