Additional Tips:

 * If you would like to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.


 * If you'd like to tell us about yourself and meet other new users, be sure to introduce yourself at our new user log.


 * Also check out the Adopt-a-User program that is designed to help out inexperienced users with Wikipedia by pairing them up with a knowledgeable editor.

INVOLVE (copied from here)
Hi - why did you just delete my article - please can you advise where I went wrong - it is late and I have been rewriting the paragraphs that seemed to be a problem. INVOLVE is funded by the Department of Health and is a great source for people wanting to find out about research in to public health - it would be more helpful if you could adivse me of what to do before deleting an article - the other administrator was trying to help. Perhaps you could explain to me here.Maddcat007 20:49, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
 * The reasons the article was deleted are listed here. If you disagree with the deletions, please follow the steps to list a new deletion review. Thanks. -- Jreferee   T /C  22:39, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Further reply. Wikipedia articles should be based on material in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. See General notability guideline. People typically use information from newspaper articles and books for their Wikipedia article. In your case, you apparently used information from INVOLVE. INVOLVE is not independent of that UK National Advisory group. Try building a draft article in your userspace at INVOLVE (UK National Advisory group)(draft) use information from newspaper articles, books, etc. Once you feel that you have an article that meets Wikipedia's requirements, follow the steps to list a new deletion review and request that the INVOLVE (UK National Advisory group) be restored using your draft article as the material for the INVOLVE Wikipedia article. Best wishes. -- Jreferee  T /C  15:30, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Hello there, I see that you were trying to write an article about INVOLVE and I wondered if I could help. I'm a health researcher at the University of Sheffield and so I know about INVOLVE, but I'm also a reasonably experienced editor here on Wikipedia. If you'd like some help editing an article which will survive here, please let me know by just replying immediately below this message. Best wishes!
