Help me!
Please help me with... Hello Wikipedia:

Yesterday I began composing my first article and learning out how to use the layout tools. Randal K article name: POLKA DOT ALLEY a flamenco dance trilogy After adding a few paragraphs I thought, how do I save what I wrote in order to continue later. Seeing no Save Button I accidentally clicked the Publish button.

After logging out I got an email from Ivvaqarhashmi via Wiki that said my article was speedily deleted. Of course it was deleted because it was far from being finished. And I know now the Publish Button was the wrong choice.

When I view the email message I received and see a link with the words “contest the nomination by visiting the page”, and click it, it takes me back to the same page.

When I go back to continue my article a box reads Randal K been deleted.

Can you help me to get reinstated so I can continue adding content to finish my documentary film article?

Help Me:

Thank you for restoring my article.

But I’m still getting dialog boxes saying “Wikipedia does not have a user page with this exact title,” and “A page with this title has previously been moved or deleted.”

Please note this is my first article and I have two questions:

1] Because my content does not seem to auto save, how do I save what I’ve written as I am adding content?

2] My mentor Rusty4321 is not active anymore. Will I be given a new mentor?

Thank you, Randal K

 * @Randal K: See the response on my talk page. I am most certainly an active editor and mentor. However, it may take up to 24 hours for me to respond, because I do not check Wikipedia every minute. Rusty4321  talk contribs 17:25, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
