[edit] CUSW

A tag has been placed on CUSW, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 17:53, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Regarding your message, the article is too short to be a Wikipedia article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for minimun requirements for stub articles. Thanks! - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 18:03, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

• Please don't add tags to articles via bots try READING them first... ConMars. I Quit Wiki you win!

• You didn't read the message above. There is nothing nasty about it. Your feelings are just hurt is all. For all I know the subject might be notable, but the article is just too short! Please read the message as they are written and try not to interpret them as some sort of personal attack on you - I don't even know you! - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 18:06, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
  • P.S. Someone is helping. Check out: Canadian Union of Skilled Workers! See? - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 18:07, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I've fleshed the article out a bit more, but it badly needs some more improvement, by people like you who care. --Orange Mike | Talk 18:38, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Reply to comments on my talk page

• The only thing I did was mark an exceptionally short article with {{nocontext}}. There's nothing "level 2" about that. That must have been someone else, sorry. Check the edit history of your talk page.

• Someone else has considered the article worth having, so that issue should be considered settled. See above.

• Wikipedia gets inundated with very short article, which usually don't have enough in them to be articles. The best strategy to edit here is to create an article with enough information to give the first reader an idea about the subject and its significance. Again, read the links above to learn more about this.

• I think you'd feel much less dejected if you'd learn how things work here, and make contributions that others will immediately find useful (I experienced a similar frustration when I first started, until I learned the ropes). We don't want you to go away, but there are ground rules by which we all abide. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 18:22, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
