RMS Titanic edit
I note that you have edited Talk:RMS Titanic, removing some content that I posted there. In this case I do not have an issue with what you did, but, in general this is considered bad etiquette. See Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines and WP:REDACT in particular. It is also more conventional to post new discussions at the bottom rather than the top of the talk page, see WP:TALKNEW.
Again, welcome to Wikipedia and I hope you enjoy being here.
Speedy deletion nomination of Lyndhurst Orchestra edit
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Lyndhurst Orchestra requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Yasht101 19:31, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
- Where do you live? "Lyndhurst area of London" indeed - have you actually read the Associated Independent Recording article? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:14, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
I don't get a thing your post means. WillardWorsley (talk) 22:56, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
- Oh, for goodness sake! Did you really not understand "where do you live" (You are not required to answer but we would be interested.) or "have you actually read the Associated Independent Recording article?" As to the middle bit: in your article about the Lyndhurst Orchestra you stated "named after an historic Methodist Church, in the Lyndhurst area of London". The last bit is rubbish. The orchestra is named after the Lyndhurst Hall on the corner of Lyndhurst Road and Rosslyn Hill in the area of London called Hampstead. Lyndhurst Road is named after Lyndhurst, Hampshire. You are right that the building is a former non-conformist church but the image description reckons it was Congregationalist. Do you get it now? In fact a properly referenced article about the hall would probably be accepted without any problem since it is a listed building. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 23:43, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
