Hi Nehwyn--I inserted my signature and the name of the article I created on the user page. Please tell me if that's right. Am I supposed to put it on the my talk page as well or instead. Sorry, I'm confused. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Weedygreens (talk • contribs)


 * I assume you're confused about signing your messages with four tildes? What that means is at the end of your message on a talk page (like this) you put four tildes ( ~ ) which produces something like this: ⁮şœśэїŝәқιￆṱᾅἻқￂ 21:05, 7 October 2007 (UTC). You don't have to put anything on your userpage: your userpage is your own, to do with as you like (check out mine). If you need further help, you might also want to ask fellow editors at the village pump. Good luck! ⁮şœśэїŝәқιￆṱᾅἻқￂ 21:05, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Okay I understand about signing, thanks. I'm unable to locate how to put a footnote in for the book I mentioned in the article. Weedygreens 21:40, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Also, I'm assuming now, unlike before, that a link to the Bernard B. Fall page isn't enough in itself for use in verification. Weedygreens 21:50, 7 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Hello there. Your user page is yours - as long as you offend nobody, you can write pretty much anything you want on it, including a list of articles you've created, if that suits you. As for the rest, verification of an article should be based on citing what we define as reliable sources. Read the two policy pages I've just linked and you'll get a much clearer idea. Keep up the good work! --Nehwyn 22:19, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi Nehwyn, thanks for your responses. I had to finally add the citation to my article without logging in--something is wrong with my computer, or maybe the system, and I wasn't able to get the article edited otherwise. I am up for deletion so I guess the work isn't that good, but perhaps I've now avoided that? Exact page citations for where the author of book cited talks about having Byron Highland as his photographer and partner are not available at this time. Forgive me if it still sucks and has to be canned.Weedygreens 23:54, 7 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi there. The article is indeed nominated for deletion, but it's apparently going to survive it. Actually, it's not that uncommon to get an article nominated for deletion soon after you start contributing to Wikipedia. Take a look at the notability guidelines, but definitely keep contributing - you'll do fine. --Nehwyn 04:47, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi Nehwyn thanks for your response--someone added a section to my article below the footnotes section --a biography about an entirely different person. Do I remove it, report it to someplace within Wikipedia, or move it. Please check out what was added and let me know. Thanks. Weedygreens 17:55, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Byron G. Highland
Byron G. Highland, an article you created, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions. However, an editor does not feel that Byron G. Highland satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Articles for deletion/Byron G. Highland and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ). You are free to edit the content of Byron G. Highland during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. ⁮şœśэїŝәқιￆṱᾅἻқￂ 21:08, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
