Understandage
Hello. Wikipedia has a policy that prohibits things made up is school one day from being published in our encyclopedia. Since you wrote in the article you created that "Understandage is a word created by Mark Padolina for his speech to become the Fall 2007 leadership chair of the Alpha Alpha chapter of Alpha Phi Omega", we ask for your understandage as to why an article on the term can't be included under this policy. In general, Wikipedia can only publish material that's been previously published somewhere else. Everything in the encyclopedia, including neologisms, has to be verified by reliable sources. Thanks for your understandage. Best, --Shirahadasha 02:03, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
