Welcome!
Hello, Jerru, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! --Bongwarrior (talk) 00:51, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Introduction to Wikipedia
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article
 * Simplified Manual of Style


 * I wouls like to add my welcome, and hope that you will stay as a contributor even if you do not wish to be a subject. May I also add how refreshing a change your modest message is for an administrator who spends most of his time dealing with absolutely non-notable people who are desperate to shoehorn themselves into Wikipedia by hook or crook.


 * To explain what is going on, I need to go into some detail of Wikipedia's bureaucratic systems. Deletion is quite carefully controlled: Speedy deletion is only for a relatively limited class of cases, and both Bongwarrior and I, the two admins who looked at your request, agreed that it was not appropriate here. Instead he has used Proposed deletion: if the notice on top of the article stays for seven days, it will be deleted. During that seven days, anyone who objects to deletion may remove it, and in that case an "Articles for deletion" discussion would be required, also lasting seven days. If, which I hope is unlikely, it becomes contentious, it may be necessary to ask you to verify your identity. In that case advice is available at Contact us - Subjects and WP:Biographies of living persons/Help. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 01:18, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

Thank you
Thank you for your kind words; they are undeserved. I am grateful for your help in honoring my request. Seven days sounds very fair; I doubt there will be a clamor for the page to stay up.

I am a big fan of Wikipedia and the truly awe-inspiring amount of human knowledge it has compiled. I would be pleased to contribute if my contributions would be of some worth.
