Vanguard Scholar

Welcome!

Hello, Vanguard Scholar, 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 Reasonable Faith, 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 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:

• Starting an article
• Your first article
• Biographies of living persons
• How to write a great article
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Help pages
• Tutorial

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! Ben Ben (talk) 07:59, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Reasonable Faith (book)

Please do not remove the CSD tag -- read the tag, and then hit the "Contest this speedy deletion" button to tag for contested deletion. That will put a notice on the page, underneath the deletion tag, that you wish to contest the speedy deletion, and usually the admin who sees this will look at the talk page for a discussion. Repeatedly removing the speedy deletion tag on a article that one has written is grounds for blocking an account -- which means that you will not be able to edit or change anything on Wikipedia until the block's time is up. Just hit the "Contest this speedy deletion" button. I would suggest that you place a note on the article's talk page that if the article is to be deleted, that it instead be moved to your private area -- the admin will give you a link to it -- so that you can finish it up instead. -- ArglebargleIV (talk) 19:54, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I am new to revising Wikipedia and was not aware of that. Please don't submit this page for deletion and I will make sure to fix it. Thank you. -- Vanguard Scholar (talk) 19:58, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

August 2013

Hello, I'm I am One of Many. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Richard Carrier without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry: I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, you can use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks!

Deleting your account

I saw you added a speedy deletion template to your user page, with an edit summary asking for your account to be deleted. Note that deleting your userpage will not delete your account, and that as a general rule, accounts are not deleted. Jackmcbarn (talk) 19:28, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
