[edit] Re: Promiscuous Pandas
A Wikipedia administrator (which I am not) removed the article because it was tagged for speedy deletion. What this means is that the article added to Wikipedia was about a subject matter that did not 'assert it's significance'. This should not be taken personally. It simply means that some topics or subject matter are simply not appropriate for an encyclopedia. For example, your information might have been better suited as a web page. There are many free web page services online where your group could have a permanent web presence; as such, you could add whatever information you want. Here is a link to Wikipedia's official policy regarding deletions of this kind: Wikipedia:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion
[edit] Golfore
Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia by creating the page Golfore. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. See WP:NFT.

[edit] Commentary in article User talk:NawlinWiki
Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia! I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article, User talk:NawlinWiki. While Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments are more appropriate for the article's accompanying talk page. If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and respond to them and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article.
Also, be sure to sign your posts on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~) – this will automatically produce a signature so other contributors can identify multiple posts from you. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page! And again, thanks for your help! Will (Talk - contribs) 05:58, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Please sign your talk page posts with ~~~~
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button 
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! Will (Talk - contribs) 06:01, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Editors that don't provide an edit summary tend to look like vandals
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. Will (Talk - contribs) 06:01, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
