Hartford Conservatory article
Hi - I haven't found your previous attempts. They weren't with the same article name. Do you remember exactly what name you used? Please feel free to reply here (I'll notice when you do). -- Rick Block (talk) 03:21, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi Rick, The article has always been named Hartford Conservatory. I am a real newbie to Wikipedia. I have spent many hours reading the rules, writing an article, and then figuring out how to get it accepted. I was pleased for about 30 seconds yesterday afternoon when it actually appeared. Then the criticism began, and I modified the article to try to answer the problems. The real problem is, I still don't really know what I am doing - for instance, how do I sign this? I will try to use the same spaghetti you did.--user:Janelle42 (user talk: Janelle42) 12:23, 20 June 2007
 * Hi Janelle- Everyone here was a newbie once, so please just keep at it for a while. I'm sure you'll get the hang of it.  I'm an administrator, so I can see articles that have been deleted and as far as I can tell the Hartford Conservatory article has never existed before you created it yesterday.  The "maintenance" tags (doesn't cite references, needs to be wikified) are really no big deal.  They're basically reminders so that folks who like doing those sorts of things can find your article.  Are the references you list at the bottom of the article books, and is the information in the article from these sources?  If so, just add a references header (== References ==, on a line by itself) before the list.    I don't know if you've found Welcoming committee/Welcome to Wikipedia yet, but it's a pretty good place to start (to sign a message like this, type four tildes, like this ~ ).  If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.  I've been around for quite a while and will be happy to help you out.  -- Rick Block (talk) 18:43, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
