Welcome!
Hello, Gmillerkc, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Articles for deletion nomination of Gary Miller (Politician)
editI have nominated Gary Miller (Politician), an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gary Miller (Politician). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Polly (Parrot) 20:28, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
This is very difficult to read.
I think there was a response to my comments, but the page is very difficult to read. Finding any help is very difficult.
{{helpme}}
well that didnt work. I thought someone would come on line to help, but I guess I didnt read that right.
Computer nerds can figure all this out, but the average person like me is just bewildered.
What happened to my post about potential homophobia? If I cant have a page then Harvey Milk shouldnt have a page either.
So I go to the various pages you recommend and it leads to one link after another. Do I finish the page I am reading and then go back to the link and then I dont get around to reading link #2 on the first page because link #1 lead to other links. I mean you have to have doctorate to understand all this stuff.
- Comparing yourself to Harvey Milk is a little over the top, isn't it? Please read WP:POLITICIAN, WP:BIO and WP:RS. This has nothing to do with homophobia, and your attempts to claim that it does violates Wikipedia's civility rules. Please prove that you are notable enough to meet the notability criteria. In general, school board members and failed city council members don't meet that notability, unless they are noted for other things. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 22:34, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
Your request for help
editIf you want someone to help you, you can put {{helpme}} on this page and somebody can come along to ask you what you need. However, since I'm here, is there something I can do for you? Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 22:23, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
There are plenty willing to help, Wiki's environment can be pretty intimidating. This page is a talk page, and people can use it to contact you. Irbisgreif (talk) 22:28, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Mr. Miller: I just wanted to let you know that I found the material you tried to contribute to the deletion discussion about the article you contributed about yourself, and copied it to the appropriate page. You can follow this link -- Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gary Miller (Politician) -- to find that discussion. Anything you want to say should be said there; my advice is that only arguments based on Wikipedia policies will be of any use in the discussion. Best of luck.

Well I am going out of town, so I will this will probably get deleted before I can get help. I am about to give up anyway
