User talk:Scottmitchell

Please don't create articles about yourself or your friends. We're building an encyclopedia here, and it's very unlikely that your article fits in with that. Creating such articles also makes work for others as we rush to delete them. The Wikipedia policy on vanity articles can be reviewed here and here. Thanks. --Hetar 03:00, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. But...
...I've added the "" template to your user page (User:Scottmitchell), 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 08:09, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
