User space vs. Article space

Hi Bluesky, and welcome to Wikipedia. I just wanted to quickly explain something that you appear to be a little confused about. Wikipedia is divided into a number of "spaces". The "main space" or "article space" is where we put articles about WP:N notable subjects for people to read - the core of Wikipedia. The article you created, Bluesky21 (it's now been deleted) isn't appropriate for article space, since it's not about a notable subject. "User space" is any page that begins with "User:" and is for users to share a little bit about themselves or do other activities that aren't appropriate for article space - I see you've reproduced the content of the article at User:Bluesky21, which is fine. One last note, though - since we're all here to build an encyclopaedia, it's expected that all editors will make contributions to the article space; Wikipedia is not a free web hosting service. Other than that, welcome, and please don't hesitate to ask if you ever have any questions. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 21:30, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
