By the way, I noticed you put your signature in Slang term, betcha. Since articles are collaborative, you shouldn't do that--it makes it look like it's your article, when really, it's our article. See WP:OWN for better explanations. :)

Slang term, betcha
And, this wasn't me, but I think it's probably right. In any case I thought you should know. Slang term, betcha has been proposed for deletion. An editor felt this is more a dictionary definition than an encyclopedia article. Please review Wikipedia is not a dictionary for the relevant policy. If you can expand the article to address these concerns, please do so, or explain your plans on the talk page.

If no one objects to the deletion within five days by removing the "prod" notice, the article may be deleted without further discussion. If you remove the prod notice, the deletion process will stop, but if an editor is still not satisfied that the article meets Wikipedia guidelines, it may be sent to Articles for deletion for consensus.

It usually works better to start by editing existing articles, that way you get a better feel for the place. But your choice, of course. Hope this doesn't discourage you! We still want you around. (And, heck, you can try to keep the article from being deleted if you think it has potential.) NickelShoe (Talk) 05:26, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

March 2011
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Alexi Grewal has been reverted. Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tWg_CR43rg. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.
