Welcome edit

Welcome to Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page. To stay in Wikipedia, an article has to be about something notable, that is, of general interest. Click on Notability for an explanation of what that means. Also, it must give independently verifiable sources. Articles that don't meet these requirements are likely to be deleted.

Apologies edit

...for all the warnings just above. Page blanking is an all-too-common form of vandalism; the editors who left the warnings did not know that where an author blanks his own page that should be treated not as vandalism but as a request to delete it. It has been deleted now; don't be discouraged, but have a look at the links in the Welcome paragraph above for advice about contributing. The guide to writing Your First Article is useful, and so is the list of Bad Article Ideas. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 21:14, 10 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

I echo the above... Sorry. I usually look for db-author. Page blanking is a common form or vandalism. Keep editing! κaτaʟavenoTC 21:17, 10 April 2009 (UTC)Reply
I'm terribly sorry as well. —TheLeftorium 21:41, 10 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

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.
