Hi, Welcome to wikipedia!

Thanks for creating the article on Loutro, Messenia. I hope this will be the first of many contributions, and that you will enjoy the experience. All the best, --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 06:45, 5 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Your contributed article, Loutro, Messenia edit

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Loutro, Messenia.First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as yourself. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Palaio Loutro. 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 to continue helping improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Palaio Loutro - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, 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. 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. Malleus Fatuorum 12:33, 18 February 2010 (UTC) Reply

Hi Dionysios123. As the message above says, Loutro, Messenia looks like it might be the same place as Palaio Loutro. However, I and some other editors are not quite sure if that's right or not. Perhaps you could leave a message at Talk:Loutro,_Messenia#Duplicated_article telling us whether they are the same place or two different ones? At the moment I've made the page into a 'redirect' so it points to Palaio Loutro, but if they are different after all then we can restore your article. Thanks again for volunteering to help, and let me know if you have any questions. Olaf Davis (talk) 13:06, 18 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

  • This has all been sorted out now; they're clearly two different places. --Malleus Fatuorum 16:58, 18 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Image upload help edit

Hi Dionysios123, it seems that you are trying to upload an image '/Users/howardwertz/Desktop/3759246-1.jpg' from your computer. To do that use this form then click "my own work" (if the picture was taken by yourself) and do as directed. Be sure to select an option in the "Licensing" menu. Good luck, and all the best, --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 00:25, 22 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Dinocraft and your user page edit

Hi, your user page has been edited with what appears to be a commercial advertisement for "Dinocraft" game. Could you please explain the purpose of that text? Is it just some sort of test or idle play? (Wikipedia pages, including user pages, are not to be used for commercial advertising.) All the best, --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 02:56, 3 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

March 2013 edit

  Please do not write or add to an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

Proposed deletion of DinoCraft edit

 

The article DinoCraft has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Doesn't appear to pass WP:GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 14:57, 24 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
