Welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia. To find out how to make useful contributions, take a look at the welcome page. To stay in Wikipedia, an article has to be about something notable, that is, of general interest. Click on Notability for an explanation of what that means. Also, it must give independently verifiable sources. Articles that don't meet these requirements are likely to be deleted. Follow the links below to learn more: JohnCD (talk) 14:11, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
 * To find out more about creating articles, read the Introduction and the Guide to creating your first article.
 * You should not write articles about yourself, your band, or your best friend - that's a conflict of interest.
 * Wikipedia is not an advertising service. Before writing about your own business, read Business' FAQ.
 * For experiments, please use the sandbox.

Identical articles
Hi. I notice that you have put in two articles, Paul Todd (singer) and Paul Lagergren, which are identical except for the titles. The fact that they seemed to be identical articles about different people led to them both being marked as possible hoaxes. I have removed the "hoax" tag from the Paul Todd article, since it seems to be about a real person. I guess the Paul Lagergren article is some kind of mistake? I have put a "Proposed deletion" tag on it which means that, if nobody objects, it will be removed in five days. If you have no objection to it going, you could hasten things by putting at the top of it - two curly brackets each end - which means "author requests speedy deletion".

The Paul Todd article still needs some work - in particular, it needs to cite references from independent, reliable sources, and it needs to be written in a more neutral, less promotional tone - see the guidelines in the Welcome paragraph above, and the ones on peacock terms and neutral point of view. If any of it is a direct copy from another web-site, that too needs to be rewritten unless the rather stringent rules on copyright release - see WP:COPYVIO - are complied with. If you have any questions, leave a note below here - I will watch this page. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 14:11, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
