Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on. Again, welcome! mhking (talk) 01:15, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Organised Chaos LAN Party
A tag has been placed on Organised Chaos LAN Party requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. mhking (talk) 01:15, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

June 2009
Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. mhking (talk) 01:52, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) kindly stfu :) Werner ghost (talk) 05:16, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you for kindly trying to deter me from participating on Wikipedia. Are you trying to say that I should not participate in suggesting that admins look at new articles that appear not to be notable? If so, perhaps an honest and open and polite suggestion as opposed to "STFU" would be in order (i.e., WP:AGF). In addition, might you consider that the article in question did NOT have what some might consider to be notable qualities? Finally, as opposed to pulling the speedy deletion template yourself (which is a violation of Wikipedia guidelines), a conversation noting that there are sources available might be better in order. Thank you. --mhking (talk) 15:00, 1 July 2009 (UTC)


 * 1) You shouldn't have put it there in the first place. I contribute because I feel it is good to give something back. Putting it there was against wikipedia guidelines because the reason you gave was invalid. If you want to contribute to wikipedia, grab some books, sit down and start writing. Going around cleaning up vandalism is good too, but from what I can see, you are a bit harsh. There are quite a few people upset that you have marked their work as vandalism or suggested deletion.

Inviting you to WikiAfrica Incubator!
Hey Werner ghost,

WikiAfrica invites you to support the Africa Incubator.

WikiAfrica is pleased to invite you as a self-declared African Wikipedian to evaluate the Africa Incubator. WikiAfrica has created the Africa Incubator to support and assist new authors, as they create their first articles and learn the ins and outs of contributing to Wikipedia.

The Africa Incubator is a ‘soft landing’ for new authors to develop articles that relate to Africa. It assists them in becoming compliant and knowledgeable of Wikipedia principles and rules. Based within the Wikipedia framework, the Africa Incubator is fully interactive and enables feedback, assistance and forums.

This is where we need your help! For the Africa Incubator to be successful, it needs the intervention, interaction and experience of Incubator Mentors. We are looking for a pool of active experienced Wikipedians to consistently participate in ’owning’ the Africa Incubator. Incubator Mentors will assist new comers through the editing process. They will also help test and expand the Africa Incubator, and will play a vital role in encouraging newcomers to be Wikipedians for life

Please visit WikiAfrica Incubator to give us your honest feedback and evaluation. WikiAfrica is a ground-breaking project that is designed to Africanise Wikipedia by generating and expanding 30,000 articles over two years. Find out more about this project here WikiAfrica. To get involved, contact Francis [wikipedian@wikiafrica.net] Twitter: twitter.com/#!/wikiafrica Facebook: www.facebook.com/WikiAfrica --Awinda 08:05, 7 March 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Awinda (talk • contribs)
