User talk:The Big Hippo

It's fine, don't worry about it. I just recommend you look at some of our introductory materials for new editors here at wikipedia and continue contributing to Wikipedia in the future. And here's the welcome template: Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~&#126;); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place  on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! Kuzaar 03:11, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles. If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please place hangon on the page and make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. Kuzaar 03:01, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Please stop removing speedy deletion notices from articles. If you continue to remove them, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Kuzaar 03:05, 21 April 2006 (UTC) --

The Big Hippo's Message to Kuzaar: I did not know. I apologize. How may I redeem myself?

Also, just to let you know why your article may be deleted: At Wikipedia there are guidelines of notability (available at WP:BIO for judging if a person is or isn't famous or notable enough to warrant inclusion in the Wikipedia. It's not saying that you won't deserve an article in the future, but until you become sufficiently well-known to merit inclusion in an encyclopedia, we try to refrain from having unnecessary articles about every person. Sorry about any confusion. Kuzaar 03:14, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Allow me to suggest, if you want your own article, to create an article in your userspace instead of article-space. Then, when you become notable, it will be appropriate to move it into article-space. Kuzaar 03:53, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm going to go ahead and move your article to namespace so it doesn't have to be deleted. Let me know on my talk page if there are any problems. Kuzaar 03:56, 21 April 2006 (UTC) - I thank you so much for everything you've done. You've taught me quite a lot, today, and I'll use these facts wisely. However... I'm not Kevin Hipolito.Kevin Hipolito 03:59, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for remembering to log out to post with your sockpuppet account. Kuzaar 04:00, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

By the way, other people are still asking for the article to be deleted, because 'redirectory articles are not needed'. I would still like that article to be preserved, so I can just type in Kevin Hipolito's name and be redirected to User:Kevin Hipolito.

 * Unfortunately that is not possible, as Wikipedia does not permit redirects to user pages from main namespace pages. Rockpocket 04:08, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
