Hello, Aboeing, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

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 need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}}
on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! Greetings - I am a bit suprised that someone would do a vote for deletion before actually explaining what wikipedia is all about or not about. Or before checking the links with the project. I am not sure what will happen next - but usually we do not have names on wikipedia that would tie us to articles about ourselves or our projects - there are rules and policies on that. Please read the intro material carefully. SatuSuro 23:21, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Help
If you can get another editor to help work on the article - it looks more likely to no go through the deletion process SatuSuro 01:18, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the advice, I will try to find someone with a strong wikipedia history to help edit the article, although I note that another user already has started editing it. I greatly appreciate your help. -- Aboeing 10:41, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

- Not a good choice so far - new users who bite like that do not help you or your article. Civility and understanding the processes of wikipedia are far more important than abusing editors. Take care! SatuSuro 11:33, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

- If you do add more - put a very clear intro para that even a totaly non tech person would understand what you are up to - thats what first shows in popups and thats what can determine rapid deletes very quickly! SatuSuro 12:14, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

- I have asked someone who has a strong knowledge of the Australian Demoscene to touch up the article and rewrite everything, hopefully that will help. I'll see what can be done in terms of non-technical persons content

[edit] nullarbor deletion
How was that? McKay 17:10, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] kept
Now that the full range of totally unecessary items were put on the afd discussson - you need to be aware of a whole range of issues - it would be well worth looking at other articles - see how they are done - specially outside of the demoscene variety of article - do the reverse engineer on an article that you like - ie get into the article in edit mode - see what is used and how it is used - and realise that almost 75% of what you put in the afd discussion is not wikipedia style or necessary. Have a good read of any policies that you can find to see how to get on. Best of luck! SatuSuro 04:51, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
