[edit] Welcome
Hello Wpittman, and welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.
Your recent article Wesley Pittman has been marked for deletion. Since Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, there are many types of articles that are simply viewed as not appropriate for Wikipedia. Before spending more time on articles, you may want to review Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with learning to edit by writing articles on you or your friends, but you should do it in the Wikipedia sandbox or on your own user page.
Here are a few more good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~.

Again, welcome!. -- DS1953 17:19, August 20, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia.
A few things to keep in mind, though: everything is supposed to be neutral and cited from sources. We're also not allowed to just copy from other sites unless the text is clearly public domain or released for such use. (This avoids legal trouble.) So I did replace the content you added with what we call a "stub", a very short (but expandable!) article. I realize the stub may look biased because such a large proportion covers the accreditation issue, but that's actually just boilerplate text we put in every article about unaccredited schools. If you want to add more, please do. Just keep it inside the content guidelines. A.J.A. 20:24, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
