Welcome to Wikipedia

Hello, Dirttime, and welcome to Wikipedia! Wikipedia is one of the world's fastest growing internet sites. We aim to build the biggest and most comprehensive encyclopaedia in the world.

This article has been nominated for deletion (or has already been deleted). Don't be discouraged! Many of us have had articles deleted, especially early in our wikicareers. Deletion is not a reflection on your editing but simply the application of our standard rules, particularly WP:NOTABILITY (and WP:BIO for persons, WP:WEB for websites, WP:CORP for companies, WP:MUSIC for bands, and so forth.) Looking forward to your future contributions, Herostratus 17:12, 28 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the external links you added to the page Erosion do not comply with our guidelines for external links. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. — Indon (reply) — 16:18, 29 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Spamming is bad. As such, please stop adding commercial links to the erosion page. If you have some level of expertise in the topic, surely you can make more productive edits than your last two. Also, do follow Indon's advise and check out the Guidelines for external links and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. MrZaius^talk 16:21, 29 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
