User talk:Leslie12345

Hi Leslie: I read the note you left on the talk page of the article about the real estate company, and I hope I can help you steer your contributions in the right direction. Generally, articles about companies in Wikipedia are about companies that have achieved notability at a national level, not merely being the oldest company in a certain limited area. As well, claims like that of being the oldest company have to be backed up by reliable sources that say so. You might also look at Mason City, Iowa, which I understand you said you wanted to create -- it's already in existence in the page at that link, and I'm sure you could find a useful way to contribute to it. I've added our standard "welcome" message above, which will give you links to a bunch of pages that may help you get started on Wikipedia -- one really useful article will be [WP:Your first article, I think. And if there's something further I can to do help you, just leave me a note. (By the way, you can click on links throughout this paragraph to go directly to the articles I've talked about, and if you want to leave me a note, just click the word "talk" after my signature.)

Re: Holtz Real Estate
Generally if you have an idea for an article but it's not "ready" yet, you should start it as a subpage in your user space (e.g. User:Leslie12345/Holtz Real Estate). Then when you feel it's been fleshed out enough, you can move it to the main article space. A couple of places you might want to peruse for ideas are WP:Your first article and WP:Drawing board. ... disco spinster   talk  22:04, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
