February 2009

Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Sakya, as minor if (and only if) they genuinely are minor edits (see Help:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.' Thank you. Gimme danger (talk) 00:06, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Gimme danger,

I made several edits, the first not marked as minor, but then I marked my own edits as minor, I did not change any in the Sakya Now area.

I did make an edit on a different section which was a political comment, no matter how sad the comment, it is not information. Perhaps that is the section you mean. Is there a way to change that comment?

Obviously I am just learning the ropes.

Welcome to Wikipedia. A page you recently created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new pages, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article. You may also want to read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 02:21, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Howdee I am not writing an ad, I am trying to create an article about a Buddhist Monastery in Seattle, Washington about which there are several books published and a large membership. Is there some other way to do it? Every time I start it is deleted. The other Sakya Monastery article is so poorly written about the one in China that I didn't want to edit it in fear of making someone angry. Please advise. I have read the intro page, I also asked Sakya Monastery of Tibetan Buddhism in Seattle change their copyright to Creative Commons just so this article could be written.

Help request

Hello there. What do you need help with? Until It Sleeps 02:35, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I read the how you start - so I started a page with just the facts about the first, largest Tibetan Buddhist monastery in the US but it was being deleted as I wrote it.

How do I start? The Sakya Monastery page which exists is terrible - Chinese - I just want to write one about Sakya Monastery of Tibetan Buddhism in Seattle, Washington, USA. I live in San Mateo, California.

Please advise.
