Welcome! edit
Welcome to Wikipedia, GoldsmithKA! I am Mysdaao and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- Introduction
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- How to write a great article
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!
May 2010 edit
Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit that you made to the page The Second Regional Forum on the Prevention of Genocide has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Please use the sandbox for testing any edits; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing for further information. Thank you. Seahorseruler (Talk Page) (Contribs) (Report a Vandal) 13:41, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
Please stop. If you continue to blank out or delete portions of page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did to The Second Regional Forum on the Prevention of Genocide, you may be blocked from editing. De728631 (talk) 13:53, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
I have declined your speedy deletion request for the article on The Second Regional Forum on the Prevention of Genocide because I think the subject is highly notable and the article itself is not written in a way that it deserves to be deleted. If you feel that the article needs improvement, please let others work on it instead of destroying your own work. De728631 (talk) 13:58, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
Genocide forum documents edit
If you really need to take these out of the public domain, please go back to Wikimedia Commons and seperately request the deletion of each document over there. The WikiPEDIA article has nothing to do with your documents, as the links to them can be removed. De728631 (talk) 14:18, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
- If the article is based on direct copy&pastes from any of your documents you can possibly rewrite it in a way that it does not appear to be a direct copy. Otherwise there are surely other publications about the outcome of the forum that can be cited to back up the article's content.
- As to deleting the files, you log in to Commons and e.g. enter File:Arusha_Presentation_-_Mike_Pryce.pdf into the search box. Then you "edit" the summary section and in the edit box right on top you insert e.g.
- {{speedydelete | This file was mistakenly uploaded into the public domain. It must not stay there though.}}
- Note that you can choose a deletion rationale after the pipe | character instead of what I proposed. Someone will then review your request and might actually ask you some more questions on your Commons account, so you should watch that. De728631 (talk) 14:37, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
Another thing, any further discussion should be continued on the articles talk page, Talk:The Second Regional Forum on the Prevention of Genocide. Thank you. De728631 (talk) 14:47, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
