Welcome to Wikipedia
Welcome, and thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. However your recent edit to breastfeeding introduced unencyclopedic, normative, how-to information, and it has been reverted. The inclusion of external links to online stores was also inappropriate. Please don't let this put you off editing - we all make mistakes, and even more so at the beginning. Take sometime to look around some of our policy and help pages and try again.

If you have questions, there is a new contributor's help page, or you can write   below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia.

A tag has been placed on Itsi bitsi, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant 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 general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Alasdair 19:51, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Promotional editing
Please do not add commercial material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for advertising or promotion. -- SiobhanHansa 20:11, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Breastfeeding shawl recommended for speedy deletion
A tag has been placed on Breastfeeding shawl, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

A5, Dictionary definition that has been transwikied.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. SiobhanHansa 14:05, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
