Welcome!

Hello, Hollybethtyler1, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Bair Lake Bible Camp, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type helpme on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

Speedy deletion nomination of Bair Lake Bible Camp


A tag has been placed on Bair Lake Bible Camp, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.

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. Goodvac  ( talk ) 05:06, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Test pages
Holly, while it is perfectly ok to use your userpage to practice and test edit, copyright restrictions apply to everywhere on Wikipedia. If you desire to practice, please use original content to do so. Thanks, D O N D E groovily   Talk to me  05:43, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

As you are editing for a class assignment...
...welcome, again; class projects can be useful for both sides, but need some preparation to avoid misunderstandings. Please look at these links: and ask your instructor to look at them, and also at Writing a Wikipedia article differs in some important respects from writing a normal student paper. One of Wikipedia's key content policies is that we do not publish original work - everything in a Wikipedia article needs to be verifiable from a reliable published source. Please read the policy No original research carefully, in particular the section headed "Synthesis of published material that advances a position".

Also, no Wikipedia article is owned by its author - see WP:OWN - every article may be edited by anyone. You may prefer to create your article in a user sub-page (see Help:Userspace draft), and move it into the main encyclopedia when it is ready. But all articles must comply with Wikipedia's policies - in particular, subjects must be notable and content must be verifiable from reliable sources.

Another important rule is that you must not copy material into Wikipedia, even into user pages, and even if you make minor alterations to the wording - see Copy-paste.

The links in the Welcome paragraph above will tell you more about contributing, and you can always ask for help or advice as explained there. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 10:40, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
