Template:Userfied-welcome
Your article has been moved
[edit]Hello, Userfied-welcome, and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but your new page does not conform to our policies. Because you seem to be interested in improving the article, your page has been moved so that you can continue to work on it. This is called "userfication", and is intended for articles which currently do not meet our policies and guidelines but which may become acceptable after substantial editing. The previous location for your article currently serves as a redirect to the new location, and will be deleted shortly. Although you may move the article back to "mainspace" yourself, it is highly recommended that you send it through the Articles for Creation process instead, when the article is ready. This process lets other, experienced editors help you develop it into a suitable article. If you move the article back yourself instead, you understand that it will likely be speedily deleted or deleted after a community discussion.
If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles. If you still have questions, there is a help desk, or you can write {{helpme}} below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia.
I hope you enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! ~~~~
