User talk:Pawblo

Welcome to Wikipedia. But…
…I've added the "" template to your user page (User:Pawblo), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy).

Please note that the purpose of a user page is not as personal homepage or used as a general webhosting service, but as way for active editors of Wikipedia to introduce themselves to other editors. If you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues here or on my user talk page. You may remove the deletion notice, and the page will not be deleted for the moment, but note that it may still be sent to Miscellany for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

If you wish to contribute directly to Wikipedia and your page has already been deleted, you can ask any admin to undelete and restore it: if necessary, leave me a message and I'll pass on your request. To begin editing, here are some pages that you might find helpful:


 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Don't write about yourself
 * Help pages
 * Tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Manual of Style

Thank you, and happy editing. Calton | Talk 21:15, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Your page
''I am writing to you to find out how I can reinstate my page. ... I had all intentions of trying to make the article for USASA (United States of America Snowboard Association). I would appreciate any guidance/further discussion regarding editing if you have the time. ''

Unfortunately, I don't have much time at present, but I can point you in the right direction.

1) To undelete the material: you need to contact a Wikipedia administrator (which I'm not), who can restore the material. The fastest way probably be to check here to see which admins are active right now.

2) Have the admin restore the page as either an article with an appropriate title (not your user page) or a user subpage (of the form "User:Pawblo/XXXXX") if it's not quite ready to go live. By "ready", I don't mean perfect or fully formed, but detailed, sourced, and neutral enough not to be nuked immediately as spam, promotion, or not asserting any importance. The page can easily be retitled as an article (or "moved into article space", to use the local jargon) when ready.

Good luck with that.
