Welcome!

Hello, Maddog2188, 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 Joe Maddock (student), 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 Joe Maddock (student)


A tag has been placed on Joe Maddock (student) 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, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. Fæ (talk) 11:57, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

 Protecting your identity - name, birth date, Facebook link, address, phone number, email...

Hi, Maddog2188. If you are a young editor, you may want to take some time to check the Guidance for younger editors page. There is no lower age limit for editing Wikipedia or writing new articles but information you post is instantly public and then archived and indexed seconds later by many internet search engines where it can never be deleted. All Wikipedians need to take care of personal information and think twice about posting private details about themselves or others.

If you ever need to delete one of your own user pages (removing its edit history from view) you can use the db-u1 template.
