[edit] Help me call

what exactly do I need to do to libre knowledge? I have added a lead section, and removed the wikify alert. Is that okay, or is there more I should do? Thanks Kctucker 11:52, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

I'll take a look at the article in just a moment for you. In general, "wikifying" an article means re-writing or re-organizing it to make it fit Wikipedia's Manual of Style, the formatting that all articles are expected to meet. Hersfold ^(talk/work) 15:18, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I've taken a look and it looks as though you've done a fairly good job. I fized the section heading for you just now - so that articles are organized properly, we use two equal marks to create main level headings and more for lower level headings, like so:

==Heading Level 1==

===Sub-heading 1===

====Sub-sub-heading, and so forth====

There are still a few things that may need improvements in the article which I left because I wasn't sure how they should be handled. I figured I shopuld leave them to someone who actually knew how the article was supposed to appear. Just take a look at the Manual of Style (linked above), and you should be fine. Please let me know if you have any more questions, either by adding another {{helpme|question}} template or by leaving a comment on my talk page. Happy editing!

[edit] deletion

I'm not sure which article you're referring to, but here's what I do when I look at pages to delete.

• Check the speedy deletion template to see the reason
• Check the article history to see if it's just accidental vandalism
• Check "what links here"

If a page meets the speedy deletion criteria, then I delete it. As an admin, that's all I'm doing. It's probably the people who put the speedy deletion template on the article in the first place that you'd want to talk to.

And yes, it does help to have the article more or less prepared before you create it. Doing a little more work ahead of time before hitting the submit button will save a lot of time in the long run. Let me know if you have any more questions. Have a great day and happy editing! ~ Amalas rawr ^{=^_^=} 20:36, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
