User talk:Kathode

Hey Kathode, and welcome to Wikipedia! I notice you're creating a number of articles that run something like this:

Manton Marble (1834-1917)- biography unavailable at this time.

Are you planning to expand these soon (preferably, in the next few hours)? While even the smallest stub can be useful to Wikipedia, these articles still don't provide any information on their subjects, and are likely to be tagged for deletion. I hope you'll keep up the good work with them, because it looks like a useful series of articles, but at the same time at least a basic explanation of why the person is notable is going to be required before we can keep the article.

Here's the usual boilerplate--a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;. Four tildes (&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page (below).

Happy editing, and have a good time! If there's ever anything I can help with (or if you just want to say hey) feel free to swing by my talk page! --Dvyost 20:48, 4 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Perhaps a better strategy might be to tackle these figures one by one--that way none of them will get tagged as empty articles, requiring deletion.


 * It looks like you have formatting, etc. under control, but if you want any help learning the wikilinking system or other policies, just let me know; I'm usually around. --Dvyost 20:50, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
