Just a personal welcome

[edit]

Hi, Burningdagger! Welcome to Wikipedia. We can use all the help building the project we can get. :)

Sometimes new users aren't quite sure where and how to pitch in, and I just wanted to let you know that there are a lot of ways and places you can help out, depending on what you're interested in. I didn't know what I wanted to do when I first got here, so I just started clicking "random article" and fixing up whatever I found. But there are more organized ways to find stuff to work on, if you're interested. We have a bunch of "WikiProjects" where people who share interest in certain subjects come together to work on them. There's a ton of them, on all different topics. You can see a list at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. Some of them are more active than others and some of them are better organized than others, since the people who work in them put them together, but many of them have lists of articles that need work.

While here, I did want to mention that you should probably be careful what you reveal about yourself on Wikipedia. Like you, I use a pseudonym online, and I've had reason to be glad I did. Sometimes people who hang out at Wikipedia aren't all that tightly wired, and I've had a few e-mails that have made me glad people don't know where to find me. I'm sure you'll notice that your userpage is gone. I'm afraid it contained just a bit too much information about you. If you want to tell people your first name, that's probably fine, but you don't want to give them too much. :)

I'll be watching your talk page for a little while if you have questions about any of this or if I can help you in some other way. You're also welcome to come by my talk page, which you can reach by following the link after my username.

Again, welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like it. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:25, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article A.B Graham Academy has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

lacks sufficient indicia of notability.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Oo7565 (talk) 20:27, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
