Welcome!

Hello, Kid5rivers, 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 Ralph Mc Donald, 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 Ralph Mc Donald


A tag has been placed on Ralph Mc Donald requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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.

Hello! I'm a bot created by another Wikipedia editor. I wanted to let you know that I removed a link that you recently added to the page Ralph MacDonald here. I did this because http://trinbagoheroes.blogspot.com/2011/12/ralph-macdonald.html is probably inappropriate for an encyclopedia. We usually avoid linking to blogs, forums, and social media sites. We appreciate your help in making Wikipedia better for everyone. If I made a mistake, feel free to undo my edit. If you have any questions, you can ask at the Help desk. Thank you! --XLinkBot (talk) 09:49, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Hello, and thanks for contributing. Please have a read of Biographies of living persons: all content must be WP:Verifiable from WP:Reliable sources, no matter how well you know the person's history. You also deleted the categories I added, along with a reference I added that actually supported what was written: please don't do that. Thanks, Filing Flunky (talk) 08:47, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

Welcome
Wikipedia is a site that everyone can edit. The problem is that not everyone knows how to edit the Wikipedia way. I hope you can see your way past these early days of confusion and problems. Most editors that are new need to do some reading and research before they begin to edit. Others jump right into the pool. Problem is they don't really know how to swim yet. My hope is the you will endure and see your way past these minor early roadblocks. The road is clear up ahead. Drive slow at first while you only have your learners permit. ---Buster Seven   Talk 

A Primer for Newcomers
Season's Greetings , welcome to Wikipedia!

I noticed nobody had said hi yet...so...Hi!

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the  link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

You might like some of these links and tips:
 * some General guidance.
 * Tutorial and the Manual of Style.
 * Find out how to revert, move and merge pages.
 * Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;).
 * Add yourself to the New user log and a regional notice board
 * Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.
 * Use the Show preview button
 * Provide an Edit summary
 * Add the correct image copyright tag to any images you upload
 * Take a look at Consensus of standards
 * Create a User page

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, -- Buster Seven   Talk  26 December 2011 (UTC)

Thank you kindly, Buster! And many sincere returns to you and yours on the greetings! I learn quickly, you guys and gals will soon realize. Any yall will realize within the same timing I hope, that most of what I post will be of my native land, where I live -Trinidad and Tobago- and of which much has not yet been included in Wikipedia.
