What does redlinked mean? Do I have to use this user id (statedcnr2) to create a new article? Also, when I created an article before, I saved it on my user page and then moved it and retitled it. I think that's how I got into this fix in the first place. Is there a different way to create an article to get it on the main page?

• Red linked means the page doesn't exist or it's been deleted (see WP:RED). If you want to create a new page, see this. Also, new talk page posts go to the bottom. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 13:33, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

I wrote a wikipedia article (Office of Conservation Science) on my user page which is statedcnr and moved it to the main Wikipedia page. However, it is still on my user page and I think I actually renamed my user page the title of the article. Is there a way to remove it without removing the article from Wikipedia? There are two more articles that I need to write. I opened this account (statedcnr2) because I wasn't able to post a question on my original page.

• Your user page is red linked now so I think it'ss been fixed. Also, if you need help creating an article, ask me. We really need an easier method of making articles. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 00:22, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

I have a couple of questions. I did look through the wikipedia guide but I am stuck on a few things for the article I did on Office of Conservation Science:

    Itshows two of the images I uploaded I did not tag correctly.  The second image is the department's logo and I want to mark it as such, but I can't seem to get back in to re-edit the logo update. Is there a way to do that?  Also, the first logo is of a flower that we got from the web.  Can that be coded so it is not removed or do I have to take that off:

    Also, for some external links I added, the little arrow doesn't show so there looks like there is an extra space between words.  If you look at the first sentence of the article it shows an extra space between DCNR and decisions.  It looks like this happened for any URL that appears at the end of the text box.  I don't see any extra spaces so I can't correct it.  Any ideas of how to fix that.

   I did try to add another article just on the Pennsylvania Heritage Program under my other id (statedcnr2 which I had to set up since I save this article on my user page) but it got deleted because of copyright issues. I followed what they said about justifying why this wasn't a copyright issue but it looks like the page was deleted. I work for the Directors for the Heritage and Wild Resource Program so there is no copyright issue-they have approved the text for these articles. Is there a way I can re-add these articles? 

  I read that after entering an article it would eventually show up in a google search.  Do you know how long this would take?
