Welcome to Wikipedia! We could really use your help to create new content, but your recent additions (such as Shampoo Effect) are considered nonsense. Please refrain from creating nonsense articles. If you want to test things out, edit the sandbox instead. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Mhking 02:30, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Shampoo effect - clearly not patent nonsense, but it is being proposed for deletion
I happened to see the article you created after it got tagged (and later deleted) as nonsense. I believe Mhking is incorrect in his assessment, and I therefore asked the admin who deleted it to take another look. That admin agreed to restore the article. This doesn't mean the article won't end up deleted anyway, but it would need to go through proper process before that were to happen.

You may wish to read the deletion policy for a better understanding of this. Basically, the article you created was tagged under a speedy deletion process, which is appropriate for patent nonsense, among other criteria. However, as you questioned on the talk page (and with which I agree), your article does not seem to be patent nonsense at all. It may be considered inappropriate for inclusion in the encyclopedia, but that is something to be determined by consensus in accordance with the deletion policy linked to above. As you can see if look at the article now, it has been tagged for deletion and will be deleted after five days unless someone (including you) removes the tag to contest it.

Anyway, thanks for starting an article that included sources, regardless of the outcome of its proposed deletion. Tim Shuba 05:44, 3 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Indeed, I restored the article. I hope it looks alright for you. Bobo. 18:12, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
