Hi Vaughan. You may see that some of your edits have been undone by various people. Please do not be upset about this. It is nice to see an enthusiastic new member and we don't want to put you off. It is just that there are polices about what information we should have in Wikipedia and how it should be presented. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia and it should gave the same quality standards as any other encyclopaedia. The welcome message above contains links which will explain all this, and also how to call for help if you need to.
My advice is to start off gently by making small improvements to existing articles before attempting a major project like a History of Architectural Design. Also, it is important to check for existing articles which might cover your chosen subject under slightly different names before you start a new article. For example, there is already a large article on History of architecture. It is always a shame to see somebody spend a lot of time writing an article without realising that an existing article already exists on the subject. Good luck. --DanielRigal (talk) 21:37, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Upload own file
Another editor has added the {{prod}}
template to the article Upload own file, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}}
template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. BJBot (talk) 22:00, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
- The title was ridiculous. The content was hopelessly unencyclopedic. So I deleted it. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 05:01, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

- Hi again. I have taken the Proposed Deletion tag off Letnia Szkola Magii, for now, but we still need to prove that it is not a hoax and that it is notable. You should add some references which can be used to prove this. --DanielRigal (talk) 16:04, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
