 * Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
 * If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
 * Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
 * Remember Neutral point of view
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Good luck!

Dbowman comments
SamC, very curious about your affiliation with Southern Virginia. I'm just doing a little research on the beginnings of the place and would love to get in touch...not sure how to email you through this Wikipedia thing.

WVU
I saw your comment on the WVU talk page. Feel free to edit the article and expand on it if you can. I haven't gotten around to writing a larger history section just because of my schedule. I have been wanting to spruce it up a bit though. As mentioned though, go ahead and edit yourself where you see it appropriate and Be Bold. (As far as the band goes, they are exceptional because they are constantly regarded as one of the nations best university bands and winners of the Sudler Trophy. They are also such a large group on campus it is worth keeping on here). --ScottyBoy900Q 17:24, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Kanawah State Forest
Kanawha State Forest is not a day use facility during the summer, as camping is allowed. WVhybrid 23:07, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
 * The reference to day use has been corrected. SamC, I was wondering if you have a reference to the legislation that changed the status of Kanawha State Forest?  A year of passage, bill number, law section, etc., would be helpful.  Thank you. WVhybrid 23:27, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

West Virginia Turnpike
Any reason you removed substantial information from the West Virginia Turnpike page? The section you modified, relating to the future of the Turnpike, has relevant information on future development projects relating to a new interchange and bond payments. If not, it will be restored.

Edits to Capito and Callaghan
Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content. Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. If it is a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If the page has been vandalised, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please edit the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia!

Thant being said, I am thinking of putting the articles on Callaghan and Wolfe up for WP:AfD, as they have no claim to fame except for losing the races this year. Wakim, however, would stay as memebers of a state legislature meet WP:BIO. What do you think?  young  american (ahoy hoy) 14:02, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Your comments on the Capito page...
I have tried to address your concerns on the article. Your edits at first seemed odd (mainly due to blanking and lack of an edit summary), but upon review I can totally see your point. Have you checked out Articles for deletion/Mike Callaghan yet? Since you are familiar with WV politics, I would value your opinion. Cheers.  young  american (ahoy hoy) 01:00, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Coca-cola bottling of northern new england
A tag has been placed on Coca-cola bottling of northern new england requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Dawn Bard (talk) 00:11, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Charleston Gazette-Mail
A tag has been placed on Charleston Gazette-Mail requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. - Nerdy Science Dude :)  (✉ click to talk • my edits) 01:57, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of National Motorists Association
I have nominated National Motorists Association, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/National Motorists Association.

WVTS/WBES
The factual accuracy of these pages are intact. The pages are up-to-date according to FCC.gov. If you have information that is different, you will need reliable third-party sources to back that information up. At current, WBES remains on AM 1240 and WVTS remains on AM 950 according to the Federal Communications Commission. -  NeutralHomer •  Talk  • 09:22, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
 * The FCC data base only records technical information. This station has changed formats and the update is constantly reverted by a vandal. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SamC (talk • contribs)
 * That is incorrect. The FCC handles up-to-date call sign information.  So if WBES moves to AM 950, the FCC database would have that information.  They do not.  All call sign change information MUST go through the FCC first or it doesn't happen.  No call sign changes or other information has been issued to the FCC, so your information is false.  As such, I have marked you twice for vandalism. -  NeutralHomer  •  Talk  • 00:04, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. --SineBot (talk) 23:44, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Bob Bastress
A tag has been placed on Bob Bastress requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.  ttonyb (talk) 04:41, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Please do not add content without citing verifiable and reliable sources. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page.

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello SamC! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot notifying you on behalf of the the unreferenced biographies team that 1 of the articles that you created  is currently tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the article:

Speedy deletion nomination of Williamson Daily News
Hello SamC,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Williamson Daily News for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks, Danrok (talk) 11:48, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

Status and Advice
As reviewing administrator, I declined the deletion. Asserting something to be a long-standing newspaper is a clear indication of possible importance, and enough to pass speedy. However, all Wikipedia articles must be referenced. Since you obtained the information from somewhere (you refer on Damrok's tp. to "standard lists") you are responsible for adding it, and adding it immediately when making the article is easiest and best, for you have the information at hand.

In addition to standard lists, there is usually references to such newspapers in local histories, and it would be good to add this also, in order to prevent possible challenges at AfD. As a quick way, Google Books often finds something. But if it does not, any librarian at a large library can help.  DGG ( talk ) 15:46, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

 * You said at Talk:John A. Hutchinson  Can you point out to me, as I can't find it, where it says the work is not copyrighted and is public domain. The absence of a claim of copyright is not proof that work isn't copyrighted as creation of the work creates copyright and AFAIK West Virginia is not a state that has made any category of state works public domain as works of the federal government are.
