Welcome!
Hello, Lrussell887, 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 Everybody Edits, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.
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 New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} 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.

The article Everybody Edits has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Unsourced and author makes no assertion of notability.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Notability
editYou wrote on the talk page: "what about all the other games on here, like Minecraft, or Portal." Wikipedia's criterion for inclusion is called WP:Notability and has to be demonstrated by references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Minecraft and Portal have lots of independent references. JohnCD (talk) 22:30, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
- Well the topic was new, I was still getting information together... ;( I seriously was working on a whole slew of information... >:( Lrussell887 (talk) 03:48, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
- Articles about this have now been created so many times without any indication of notability that the title has been "salted" - protected against re-creation. Read WP:Your first article, WP:Notability and WP:42; then, if you think you can show notability, go to Help:Userspace draft and fill in the title there. That will create a draft page where you can work on an article. When it is ready, approach user Anthony Bradbury (talk), the administrator who protected the title, and ask if he will agree to unprotect it and move your article there. If he doesn't agree, you can try asking at WP:Deletion review. JohnCD (talk) 09:33, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
