Welcome!

Hello, Grayamari, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Wells Fargo Center (Norfolk), may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Murph9000 (talk) 08:00, 21 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hello! Grayamari, you are invited to the Teahouse, a forum on Wikipedia for new editors to ask questions about editing Wikipedia, and get support from peers and experienced editors. Please join us! Murph9000 (talk) 08:01, 21 January 2016 (UTC)Reply


A note about notability

edit

So, I have reviewed some of the edits you have been making, in particular the new articles created. You seem to like to write about buildings, and that's cool, sometimes I actually quite like reading about interesting buildings. The buildings you have created articles for may well have notability, but you have not yet established that as a verifiable fact supported by reliable sources. The reason I am mentioning this, is that the articles will probably get deleted sooner or later, if you don't add some good references to them.

So, please have a read of both the above links in bold (and the general info in the welcome message), and the notability guideline for geographic features. Notability can be tricky for people new to Wikipedia. You might know something has notability, the notability might seem obvious, but Wikipedia's content policy still requires you to demonstrate or prove it.

Hopefully the above will steer you in the right direction. You are welcome to ask me questions, if you so desire, or please ask some questions at the Teahouse, where you will normally find a number of experienced editors willing to try to help steer people in the right direction. --Murph9000 (talk) 08:13, 21 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

File uploads

Greetings,

unfortunately I had to tag every single one of your uploads for speedy deletion because they are copyright infringements. Copyright means that we cannot simply use images taken from other websites; we need to have permission in form of a free license before we can host them on Wikipedia.Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 21:02, 1 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
