Hello from Chzz
Hi there, I think we spoke on IRC? I've created Lee Wardlaw; it's not a great article, but I've put in some references, so it should be ok.
Welcome to Wikipedia; everyone here is quite nice - please try and help us make it better. Read a bit of this before you do much.
Good luck! -- Chzz ► 04:21, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Per your warning on my page
When you look on my page again you will notice your warning is gone. Why? Because you can't vandalize the sandbox. If I vandalized a real article then it would count but since the sandbox has no limits that warning doesn't count. Please don't do it again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eye of the Lion (talk • contribs) 12:00, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of Repossessed (novel)
A tag has been placed on Repossessed (novel) 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.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} 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.

Your question on IRC
You asked on IRC tonight why you had to put your name twice when subscribing to signpost.
You left before I would answer.
Wikilinks work like this;
If you put [[sausage]] it will create a link to the article called 'sausage', which will look like this: sausage.
Sometimes though, you want to link one word to another. For example, you want to link the words 'John Smith' to the article called 'John Smith (Chancellor of the Exchequer)'. You do this by putting [[John Smith (Chancellor of the Exchequer)|John Smith]]. This will appear as; John Smith.
In this case, when adding yourself to the signpost listing, you wanted to add a link to your talk page, but the link text would just be your name. Hence, you put [[User talk:Darkspartan4121|Darkspartan4121]].
This links the word 'Darkspartan4121' to your own talk page.
I hope that this is clear; for more info, see WP:LINKING.
