Edgar Snyder Page

Good afternoon,

I noticed that the entry for Edgar Snyder is in your Sandbox. Will you be putting it back into publication? If so, when? Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Esamktg (talk • contribs) 17:24, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

That's out of my hands- I would like it restored, but have no time to dedicate to the task. Please see [here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Pittsburgh#Deletion_of_Edgar_Snyder]. —Bill Price (nyb) 17:44, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

Your contributed article, Allegheny City Central

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Allegheny City Central. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Central Northside (Pittsburgh). Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Central Northside (Pittsburgh) – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Vacation9 (talk) 01:34, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

What's the problem here? Literally the only thing I did was to make a redirect to the existing article. I think you've made a mistake. —Bill Price (nyb) 01:40, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

Removing Speedy at Allegheny City Central

Hi Notyourbroom, you recently removed a deletion tag from Allegheny City Central. Because Wikipedia policy does not allow the creator of the page to remove speedy deletion tags, an automated program has replaced the tag. Although the deletion proposal may be incorrect, removing the tag is not the correct way for you to contest the deletion, even if you are more experienced than the nominator. Instead, please use the talk page to explain why the page should not be deleted. Remember to be patient, there is no harm in waiting for another experienced user to review the deletion and judge what the right course of action is. As you are involved, and therefore potentially biased, you should refrain from doing this yourself. Thank you, - SDPatrolBot (talk) 01:40, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

For the benefit of third parties seeing this: the situation here is somewhat complicated. I created a totally legitimate redirect, but then another user came along and pasted in prose from another article on top of my redirect. The resulting "article" was nominated for speedy deletion. I reverted to the redirect, which I suppose wasn't technically the right way to handle it. —Bill Price (nyb) 01:45, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
