Michael Reinke
An article you started, Michael Reinke, has been proposed for deletion. An editor felt that you probably wrote this article about yourself. This is strongly discouraged, as it presents a conflict of interest, but is not a sufficient ground for deletion of an otherwise acceptable article. Please review WP:AUTO for the reasoning behind that. If you think that you are notable enough for an article, you'll want to review the guidelines at WP:BIO. If you meet those guidelines, make sure the article makes that clear.

I'm sure, of course, that you meant no harm by submitting the article. Wikipedia just can't maintain articles about everybody, you know? If you read the guidelines and decide you made a mistake in creating the article, don't worry. Don't remove the text from the article. It's not the same as deleting the article itself and actually complicates the process. If you would like it to be totally removed from view, you can add to the top of the article.

On the other hand, if you'd like to keep this information on your user page, that would be absolutely fine. You can do that by clicking "move" at the top of the Michael Reinke article and typing User:Mreinke for the destination. Then remove the prod tag. If you need any help, let me know.

Thanks for the contributions! Stick around, we can always use help. NickelShoe 16:39, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
