Hello, Impact33, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Grove Avenue, London, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, 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 {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. — Zhernovoi (talk) 17:16, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
A discussion has begun about whether the article Grove Avenue, London, which you created or to which you contributed, should be deleted. While contributions are welcome, an article may be deleted if it is inconsistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines for inclusion, explained in the deletion policy.
You may edit the article during the discussion, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 16:08, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Suhayb requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Still here?
Hi Impact33, how are you? I'm not sure if you're still around, it can't be very encouraging having all your contributions taken over by others, and having other editors delete the articles you created. I think the article you created on Grove Avenue might change a lot, but the little acorn you planted could grow into quite an oak, which you can be rightly proud of and is a useful contribution. Reply here, let me know if you're still here. Best wishes, Bigger digger (talk) 23:28, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion pages, as you did with Grove Avenue, London. Doing so won't stop the discussion from taking place. You are, however, welcome to comment about the proposed deletion on the appropriate page. Thank you. Please leave it until the discussion concludes and the closing admin judges the consensus -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 19:49, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again
Impact33,
Sorry, I was away over the weekend. You posted on my talk page to say you'd read my note higher up. I think it's best we keep the conversation on your talk page as it will hopefully become a useful reference for you. Although Wikipedia is the encyclopedia anyone can edit, there are a whole number of policies and guidelines that control that editing. As an encyclopedia, the information within it is expected to be notable, meaning that other people have written about the subject before, and then editors can use what others have written to create an article. This means information in articles is verifiable, but the encyclopedia can't use every source, they must be reliable. Each Wikipedia page has a disclaimer at the bottom that states readers shouldn't believe anything they read – on the other hand the sources used should be trustworthy.
The links I've embedded in the paragraph above will take a while to read (I'm sure you'll find them easily enough), but will give you a good idea of how Wikipedia functions. If you have a chance you could read them, and then tell me why you think some of your articles were nominated for deletion. Or you could just ask me any questions you have here!
Wow. Ok. I thought you were here in an attempt to help? Why are you defacing articles that you started? You're currently blocked from editing articles but you can still edit this page. Tell me what's going on! Bigger digger (talk) 17:43, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'll keep the conversation here for your reference, and so others might chime in. Did you have a look at some of the links posted above? Things like WP:Notability? That guideline sets out the minimum requirements for a subject to have an article on Wikipedia. All the volunteers here have generally agreed that it sets a standard for inclusion, and the AfD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Grove Avenue, London showed that the community does not think Grove Avenue meets that level. Wikipedia isn't an opportunity for editors to write about whatever they want, this is an encyclopedia, and there has to be a cut-off point. There are plenty of things that Wikipedia is not suitable for, see WP:NOT. It's nothing against the efforts you make, plenty of editors are sad to see their work deleted. Why not find an article that already exists, one that interests you, and WP:IMPROVE it? Bigger digger (talk) 23:34, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That's good to hear. I see you started on Peter Crouch, are you a Spurs fan, or is it just that he grew up near you? Sometimes other editors might not feel that someone's primary school is an important piece of information – it's not normally included in a CV or job application, but we shall see!
Reply here, I prefer to keep conversations in one place. I can see when you've replied from my WP:WATCHLIST, have you used yours at Special:Watchlist yet? Finally, remember to always sign your posts to talk pages with the tildes: ~~~~. On a PC keyboard it's shift and #, no idea where it is on a Mac, but there's a link just below the Save page button with the four squiggles, clicking that will insert your signature. I'll keep an eye out and try to help you out where I can. Cheers, Bigger digger (talk) 22:55, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Lenovo with this edit. When removing content, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the content has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 14:57, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
