Hi
G'day, welcome.

Judging by all the automated messages above, I guess you've been made to feel a bit unwelcome here. Sorry about that. Sometimes some of us forget that it is a steep learning curve at first for new contributors here. It gets easy pretty fast though, so stick around and you'll be right in a week or so.

The number one rule is that you have to write stuff in your own words. You get the facts out of books, magazines, websites, etc; but you can't copy them word for word. You have to write them out in your own words.

Drop me a message on my talk page if you need any guidance or help with anything, and I'll do what I can.

Proposed deletion of Chris McPhail


The article Chris McPhail has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Fails WP:NHOCKEY."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
