Speedy deletion nomination of The Chronicles of Altayr
A tag has been placed on The Chronicles of Altayr requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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), 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

 * You write in your article: "Please don't delete it I can't put it on any other websites! These are books from my series called The Chronicles of Altair."  Unfortunately, Wikipedia is not a Web hosting service.  You can buy or freely obtain such a service from other vendors.  But not here.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:01, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Wingstride, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

possible copyright violation

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Avatar 06349 (talk) 11:53, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

June 2009
If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. RadioFan (talk) 11:58, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

What Wikipedia is
Welcome to Wikipedia, and I hope you can go on in the future to make helpful edits to articles. However, at present you do not seem to have fully grasped what the nature of Wikipedia is. In one of the articles you have created you have said "Please don't delete it I can't put it on any other websites!" However, Wikipedia is intended to be an encyclopedia, not a general webspace provider, and posting fiction you have written is not suitable.

You can read more detail on what is and what is not allowable on Wikipedia on the project page What Wikipedia is not, and particularly relevant is '' this section. If you have any questions about this, please feel welcome to contact me on my talk page.

It may also help you to realise that there are many free webhosts, blog providers and so on where you can in fact post your material if you wish to. There are also web sites which exist purely for the purpose of providing an opportunity to publish your writing: for example http://www.writing.com: you may like to try that.

Removal of speedy delete template
You have removed a speedy-delete template from the article The Chronicles of Altayr. Perhaps you had not noticed that the template said do not remove this notice from pages that you have created yourself. JamesBWatson (talk) 12:32, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

What Wikipedia is not
Further to the advice above, one of Wikipedia's key content policies as an encyclopedia is that it publishes No Original Research. See also Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought and Wikipedia is not your web host. There are plenty of websites that will let you post your original writing, but Wikipedia is not one of them. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 14:07, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
