 * Hi Spazoids. Since Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, there is are rather strict guidelines for creating new articles. The article what you created is called a nonsense page, which is an article that has no meaningful content in it. Such articles will be removed as soon as possible to keep wikipedia clean (More info on what isnt tolerated can be found here).


 * As for the practical joke, well, i always love jokes :). However Wikipedia is not exactly the correct place for practical jokes. The page created will simply keep getting removed by either me or another patrol. Of course you are more then welcome to stick around and edit but i would suggest moving the joke someplace else where it wont be removed. Excirial ( Talk, Contribs ) 13:25, 15 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Excirial...thanks, if I resubmit it I will provide the proper links to the actual joke(im making a website) and point out what it is rather then post the joke itself there.

 * Well... its almost certain it will still be removed. It will fit either into an A7 not notable website, an A1 nonsense page or even a G3 pure vandalism page. I would advise against readding the article, as its removal chances are near 100%. Its likely to be a waste of time to write a new article, and seeing i already handed out a last warning recreating the page a third time will most likely trigger a block report from a different editor.

 * Thanks, I didn't see category A7. Since I'm new, is there any way I can get rid of the warnings you gave me?  I didn't realize it was against policy, and I don't want to get banned if I make a different mistake.  I have contributed to wikipedia in the past, but I never created a page or took the time to make an account till now.

 * Technically removing warnings from your own page is considered vandalism (Don't you just love all those rules at these times? :-) ). However this rule is mainly intended to keep pure vandals from blanking their user page warnings without consequence. However, i will just remove the warnings and classify the edits as Good faith edits since you are clearly not a vandal or a rogue editor.
