User talk:Mcgivershark

Welcome!

Hello, Mcgivershark, 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 Sharkcatigereindeer, 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! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! CanadianLinuxUser (talk) 18:43, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Sharkcatigereindeer


A tag has been placed on Sharkcatigereindeer, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

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.

Do not create, add, or restore hoaxes to Wikipedia, such as you did with the article Sharkcatigereindeer. Hoaxes are caught and marked for deletion shortly after they are created. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia – and then to correct them if possible. Please do not disrupt Wikipedia. Feel free to take a look at the five pillars of Wikipedia to learn more about this project and how you can contribute constructively. Thank you. -- SoCalSuperEagle ( talk ) 19:03, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Hello, McGivershark. I wanted to explain why I have removed your latest addition to this article. If you can find a reliable published source which makes this suggestion, it can certainly go into the article (with reference to that source). Otherwise it is either a personal point of view or original research, neither of which is allowed in Wikipedia articles. You may feel that the "arguably" you put in protects it from these rules: if you think so, please read WP:weasel words. --ColinFine (talk) 21:41, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
