Welcome!

Hello, Ratfinx, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Biblioteca Pública N° 11, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Travelbird (talk) 18:36, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Biblioteca Pública N° 11

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Biblioteca Pública N° 11 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Travelbird (talk) 18:36, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Krull Corp for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Krull Corp is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Krull Corp until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 19:51, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Oceus Networks

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Oceus Networks, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Cind.amuse 19:38, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Eeekster (talk) 18:53, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle

Hello, if you think the content doesn't belong at Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, then you should discuss why at the talk page. Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle is a useful guide. It is time to discuss, not revert again. Thanks. (Plus you provide no edit summaries, please do.) Thanks again. Jesanj (talk) 01:00, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the note. Feel free to be bold, though. You don't have to obtain consensus before making edits. It just seemed inappropriate to remove that sourced content. Thanks again. Jesanj (talk) 23:22, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

August 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Riggs Bank with this edit. When removing content, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the content has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Alan the Roving Ambassador (User:N5iln) (talk) 16:16, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Riggs Bank, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 18:42, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. I just assumed it shouldn't have been done since someone restored it before.Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 14:17, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, there was something in French, but it wasn't correctly formatted and it certainly didn't contain all the information. It looks like you did the right thing. I'm going to see if I can find something, but I just made a minor edit on that page anyway.Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 17:01, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 14:21, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That was the bot. All I saw was your name at the top.Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 16:57, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
