Welcome to Wikipedia! edit

Dear Cdm3publisher: Welcome to Wikipedia, a free and open-content encyclopedia. I hope you enjoy contributing. To help get you settled in, I thought you might find the following pages useful:

Don't worry too much about being perfect. Very few of us are! Just in case you are not perfect, click here to see how you can avoid making common mistakes.

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 your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Wikipedians try to follow a strict policy of never biting new users. If you are unsure of how to do something, you are welcome to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator. One last bit of advice: please sign any discussion comment with four tildes (~~~~). The software will automatically convert this into your signature which can be altered in the "Preferences" tab at the top of the screen. I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information. If you need any help just let me know. Once again welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to tell us about yourself and be BOLD!

Well, so much for the impersonal template. While I appreciate your contributions to society and literature so far and the challenges you've faced (as detailed so far in User:Cdm3publisher and Image:12-8-2004 (3)-05.jpg#Summary, as well as your website), I had to change your contribution of Carol D. Mitchell to List of San Francisco Bay Area writers in order to avoid a Red link (which occurs on Wikipedia when a article has not yet been written). If you want ensure that a Carol D. Mitchell biographical article is included here, you have make sure it has been written first, to the standards of Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. Your biographer does not want to go through what I went through with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2007 January 7#Daniel_Terdiman (although you've published three books to Mr. Terdiman's part of a book). If you want to write an autobiography on Wikipedia, please see Wikipedia:Autobiography. 06.doc to HTML in order to give that document more exposure.

User:Cdm3publisher edit

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to your user page (User:Cdm3publisher), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy).

Please note that the purpose of a user page is not as a personal homepage or used as a general webhosting service, but as a way for active editors of Wikipedia to introduce themselves to other editors. If you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues here or on my user talk page. You may remove the deletion notice, and the page will not be deleted for the moment, but note that it may still be sent to Miscellany for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.
