Don't worry too much about being perfect. Very few of us are! Just in case you are not perfect, click here to see how you can avoid making common mistakes. Wikipedians try to follow a strict policy of never biting new users. If you are unsure of how to do something, you are welcome to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator. One last bit of advise, please sign any dicussion comment with four tildes (~&#126;). The software will automatically convert this into you signature which can be altered in the "Preferences" tab at the top of the screen. I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information. If you need any help just let me know. Once again welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to tell us about yourself and be BOLD! JoaoRicardotalk 06:09, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Quakers
Hi Shadowfax --

Welcome! Do please update the Quaker views on homosexuality page if you can (what we most need is sources and info on non-Western nations, which you seem to have!) Also, take a look at the wikipedia quaker project page in case you're interested! Sdedeo (tips) 20:33, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

RE: Darren White
Since the article was only deleted after an expired PROD, restoring it is no problem, and I've done so. This does not guarantee that the article will remain in place though. It could still be deleted via another avenue such as AFD. - Rjd0060 (talk) 16:16, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of List of timed artistic contests


The article List of timed artistic contests has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Unnotable list of timed "artistic" contests that is a misnominer - may items listed do not rate artistic value, only require outpur; further, the bulk listed are unnotable knock offs of NaNoWriMo that are not notable enough to have their own article, resulting in primarily excessive ELs.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 13:44, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
