Re: Admin request page

Hi Alamo, got your message. Sorry to take some time to get back to you - have been offline the past couple of days.

I assumed your subpage creation was probably just a simple error. Understandably so, because starting to edit here can be pretty confusing at first, and if you tried to read and understand every single policy and guideline first, you'd die of old age before your first edit!

I'm not an admin, just an ordinary contributor, so I can't delete your subpage for you, but I suggest that to get rid of it you nominate it for speedy deletion on the grounds that you are the author. To do this, go to the page, click "edit this page", blank all the content, and then type in this formula: {{db-author}} at the top of the page. Then save the page, using an edit summary that reads something like "Request speedy deletion. Created in error." Check the page after saving, and it should now have a speedy deletion template on it. An admin will spot this and delete it for you shortly afterwards.

I hope this solves the problem. If you need any more help, please feel free to ask. Cheers, Karenjc 17:48, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
