Test
I was not experimenting. Those are some requests I would like to make. --Helpinghands 15:30, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Ah, I think I see where the problem lies! The numbers you put next to those articles - those are Google counts, right? The rest of what's on that page is a list of the missing articles that are most linked to from within Wikipedia. I thought that you were deliberately putting unrealistically big numbers next to articles.


 * OK, so the page that you need is actually Requested articles. From there, you can link through to the subpages for different subjects and add your requests under the appropriate heading. Sorry for the confusion - we get a lot of people coming to Wikipedia who just want to vandalise pages or otherwise add nonsense - obviously you're not one of those.


 * Anything you're not sure about, drop me a line on my talk page. Oh, and to hopefully get off on a slightly better footing than before, Welcome to Wikipedia! --OpenToppedBus - Talk 16:18, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)

Stop with the new articles
Hi there Helpinghands, I'm glad you want to contribute to Wikipedia, but please do not create a new article unless you are going to put some copy in it. You are wasting the time of other Wikipedia editors with your articles such as "Ghost sightings" and "Last name Mooney". Eliot 18:25, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
