Additional tips...


 * Please sign your messages on talk pages with four tildes ( ~ ). This will automatically insert your "signature" (your username and a date stamp). The [[File:Button sig.png]] or [[File:Insert-signature.png]] button, on the tool bar above Wikipedia's text editing window, also does this.
 * If you would like to play around with your new Wiki skills without changing the mainspace, the Sandbox is for you.

Speedy deletion
Hi LAUNCH.Ed, I'm looking into why your account was speedy deleted. I think there may have been an issue with the username you selected. will let you know when I know more. Best wishes, Stinglehammer (talk) 17:08, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that. Seems to be all related to the username you chose. As I mentioned during the session, Wikipedia is strict about Conflict of Interest so a username related to a business like LAUNCH is not going to go down well. If you create a new account and choose a username like STurnbull or something more abstract then this should be fine. Please review the username policy for more info.
