Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia articles, such as those you made to Utah Jazz, even if your ultimate intention is to fix them. Such edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Tool2Die4 (talk) 19:00, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

You can't put images in Wikipedia articles like that. See WP:IMAGE. J.delanoy^gabsanalyse 19:01, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] African desert

Sorry to say it but so far this article reads like a school essay or term paper. Also, from what I have read, there is no such thing as the "African desert" but several different desert areas in Africa, each different. So, trying to create an article to cover them all seems like a futile exercise. I will post a welcome message with links to help you create your first article. – ukexpat (talk) 20:15, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
