Vanity articles edit

 

Please don't create articles about yourself or your friends. We're building an encyclopedia here, and it's very unlikely that your article fits in with that. Creating such articles also makes work for others as we rush to delete them. The Wikipedia policy on vanity articles can be reviewed here and here and the reason your article was deleted can be reviewed here. If you need any more information about this, please visit this page. Thanks.ЯЄDVERS 11:50, 20 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Attack articles edit

 

Please don't create articles just to attack your friends or enemies. We're building an encyclopedia here, and it's very unlikely that your article fits in with that. Creating such articles also makes work for others as we rush to delete them. The Wikipedia policy on attack articles can be reviewed here and the reason your article was deleted can be reviewed here. If you're a new user and would like further help and information, please visit this page for more information. Thanks.ЯЄDVERS 13:32, 20 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
