Welcome!

Some of the most helpful links, you'll find under "Policies and Guidelines" above. Now... as for creating an article, here's some additional tips that may help: Let me know if you have any questions. Best, R OBERT M FROM LI &#124; TK/CN 20:04, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Always make a clear claim of notability in the article. If you don't, it's unlikely that others may be able to figure out why the person/group/company/subject is notable - and the article may end up being deleted (as I guess you've noticed) :-(
 * Place an   tag (type it exactly like that at the very top of the article) on the article so people know you are actively working on it - but then, remember to actively working on it (at least until it no longer meets any deletion criteria). Of course, real life intrudes, and that's to be expected. But don't start an article in article space if you're going to be away for 3 or 5 days (or more) and know you can't come back every couple days to bring it to non-deletable status.
 * Important Tip if working on an article will take a lot of time: You can create the article in your userspace... simply go to your USER page, and then add a slash and article name after the URL in your browser bar (use _ for spaces)... this new page will ask you if you want to create a page... so, for instance, you could have created the FSB page in your userspace at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Saracates/Future_Steel_Buildings - and when you are suitably finished, you could ask someone to move it into article space for you.
 * Give a good read over notability and reliable sources above (and a decent read-through of the rest).


 * Two final things...
 * Don't delete the Speedy Deletion Tag (as the bot noted above)... I'll take care of that once the article no longer meets the criteria.
 * Any article already deleted can be "un-deleted" and moved into your userspace so you can improve them there and then request they get moved back into article space. Let me know if you have any that need that done. (and in the event the FSB article gets deleted before it's up to standards, we can do the same thing with that).

 * Hi Robert, thank you so much for your help! I am in the process of working on my second Wikipedia page for the First Nations Infrastructure Funding page over the next week, but it worries me that some users are going to undo all my hard work by deleting my articles. I just need some time to improve my articles, and I'm trying as quickly as I can to get more sources, but obviously I can't do this if my articles are under the threat of constant deletion. Is there any way to ensure the safety of my articles while I work to improve them? Saracates (talk) 20:18, 2 June 2011 (UTC)Saracates
 * Hi again, I've created a page in your userspace here: . I'd start it there, and then when you think it's ready for mainspace, either let me know, or find an admin who can move it for you. Best, R OBERT M FROM LI &#124; TK/CN 22:11, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Welcome anew, Sara - if I can ever help with anything, my Talk page is there -> Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 23:46, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks you! I think I'm finally settling down and getting the hang of what to do/what not to do. I will be sure to seek your assistance in the future. The next time we interact, it'll occur in a much more positive capacity. :) Saracates (talk) 23:52, 4 June 2011 (UTC)Saracates
