Thanks for writing an article on the Underwater Digital Interface (UDI) dive computer. Unfortunately, the acronym UDI is used for many other things, so Wikipedia has what is called a disambiguation (dab) page with that title. A dab page is just a list of links to other wikipedia pages that the acronym may refer to. It's not allowed to add an article onto the end of it, as you have done. I'll have to revert that, sorry. I'll place the contents of the sandbox you used in your own personal sandbox (called User:Oframalkautc/Sandbox). Nobody will overwrite that, so you can keep it while you work on the article and when you are ready, you can move it to a proper page, or just paste it as you are the only author. I'd suggest Underwater Digital Interface - you only need click that link to create the article. I should add, however, that articles need to be on notable subjects, so you'll have to find some third-party reports that comment on the UDI (like dive mags or newspapers) and add those as references, otherwise your article will probably be speedily deleted.

I know it's a daunting job starting off writing your first article, so if you need any help, please feel free to drop me a line on my talk page. Cheers --RexxS (talk) 19:56, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
