Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * Welcome!
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or sock puppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

English words with uncommon properties
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of English words with uncommon properties, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/users/08/ajb/tmve/wiki100k/docs/English_words_with_uncommon_properties.html.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 10:10, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of English words with uncommon properties


A tag has been placed on English words with uncommon properties requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Speedy deletion nomination of English words with uncommon properties


A tag has been placed on English words with uncommon properties, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate,. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. McGeddon (talk) 14:46, 10 January 2012 (UTC)


 * This page was deleted last November after a deletion discussion at WP:Articles for deletion/English words with uncommon properties. Deletion was challenged at Deletion review/Log/2011 November 7 where it was decided to userfy it to User:Squidonius/English words with uncommon properties for him to work on it. However, from the history of that userfied page, it does not appear that any more work has been done on it; since it has been deleted at AfD, it cannot be restored unless application is made at WP:Deletion review with a link to an improved draft that meets the objections raised at the AfD.


 * If the page is restored, that must be done by moving the userfied draft, in order to preserve the contribution history, which would be lost by a cut-and-paste move.


 * The copyright notices above are because an automatic anti-copyvio system detected that the content was the same as that of a page elsewhere on the web. If that is where you found this text, please note that normally you must not copy material into Wikipedia - see Copy-paste. Exceptionally, in this case, it was a false alarm because the Swarthmore page had itself been copied from the earlier WP article.

Problem with your pages
Hi there. I don't know if you meant to create those pages in your own user space or something, but you created them in article space. I've tagged them for speedy deletion, let me know if there's a problem with that. Regards Basa lisk  inspect damage⁄berate 12:18, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

It's ok to delete that, I accidentally created them. Sorry for the article space problem. PortalandPortal2Rocks (talk) 12:19, 3 July 2012 (UTC)


 * No problem, it'll be cleared up in no time. Remember the User: prefix when creating your subpages! Regards Basa lisk  inspect damage⁄berate 12:22, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Userspace
Please remember the all-important User: prefix. You've been putting headings meant for userspace into article space.  Acroterion   (talk)   12:29, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Oops, should have read the above: cheers!  Acroterion   (talk)   12:29, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
 * What are you saying, seriously? PortalandPortal2Rocks (talk) 13:02, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
 * By the way, I'd like to ask for advices about templates. After 12 hours of researching, I still don't know how to make a template, is there an easier way to do that? PortalandPortal2Rocks (talk) 13:06, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you: Basalisk was already advising you on the userspace issue. I'm afraid I'm not well qualified to advise you on template creation: my work in that area has been confined to taking other peoples' work and adapting it to the situation. You can start with that, and Help:Template can point you to other sources.  Acroterion   (talk)   15:20, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
