Welcome!

Hello, Iskor12, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Lewis Machine & Tool Company, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard. Thank you.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article.

Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Speedy deletion nomination of Lewis Machine & Tool Company edit

 

A tag has been placed on Lewis Machine & Tool Company, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, 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.

I've userfied your page, which you can now find at User:Iskor12/Lewis_Machine_and_Tool_Company, partially to keep it from being deleted, but also because of the editing problems that you were having. The reason you couldn't edit it was the ampersand — & — in the title. Wikipedia's programming doesn't handle ampersands in titles (or many other places) very well and when I userfied the page I changed it to the word "and" spelled out, which Wikipedia can handle just fine. Good luck and best regards, TRANSPORTERMAN (TALK) 16:19, 11 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thanks...I will work on it over the next couple of weeks. --Iskor12 (talk) 19:00, 11 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Articles for deletion nomination of Lewis Machine and Tool Company edit

I have nominated Lewis Machine and Tool Company, 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/Lewis Machine and Tool Company. 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. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 17:21, 16 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Feedback archived edit

Hi there.

A while ago, you requested feedback in WP:FEED. Because it has been a while, and you'd received at least some response there, I have now archived the replies in Wikipedia:Requests for feedback/Archive/27. Please do not edit that page though; if you require further feedback, add a new request on WP:FEED.

I am trying to clear the backlogs; it would help us a lot if you could look at the requests from other users on WP:FEED and add any comments to help them out. Anyone can respond there, so please do take a look, and comment on the articles from other people.

If you want help with anything at all, you could either;

  • Leave a message on my own talk page; OR
  • Use a {{helpme}} - please create a new section at the end of your own talk page, put {{helpme}}, and ask your question - remember to 'sign' your name by putting ~~~~ at the end; OR
  • Talk to us live, with this or this.

The last of those is particularly useful - please try it; pop in now and say hello. Best,  Chzz  ►  02:37, 29 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

The file File:LEWIS MACHINE AND TOOL L129A1.JPG which you uploaded has been deleted because the owner of the firearm blog complained. If you have a permission to use this image, please forward it to permissions-en wikimedia.org and it'll be undeleted. Stifle (talk) 09:46, 20 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
