Welcome!

Hello, Cain613, and welcome to Wikipedia! This is one of the most popular websites in the world, and it's only through the contributions of editors like you. And Wikipedia is not just a collection of articles, it's an active community. The real fun here is contributing to Wikipedia, but don't feel hurt if some of your first few edits get removed, as there are some central guidelines you may not be familiar with.

Some good advice: be bold in your editing, and use the talk pages to discuss with other editors. Be kind to others, because there's a lot you can learn from them, and there's lots they can help you with.

There's lots of resources to help you become a great editor, from our basic introduction to our in-depth manual. But if you have any questions or problems, no matter what they are, leave me a message on my talk page. Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. And if you haven't done so, tell us a bit about yourself. If you need some help, visit the Teahouse Q&A board. Oh, and please sign your name on talk pages and votes by typing ~~~~; our software automatically converts it to your username and the date.

Glad you're here! Wateresque (talk) 15:15, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

About your recent attempt at an article

[edit]

I notced that your first attempt at an article was a biography. More than that, it seemed to be an autobiography. Those are discouraged here. I recommend you read Wikipedia:Autobiography to learn why that is. I assure you that it has nothng to do with anyone's individual importance. Wikipedia articles are pages that can be independently verified by other people.

I'm a pretty new editor here as well, and I know that the policies here can take some getting used to. You should really check out How to help to give you ideas of ways you can help out the project.

Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Again, any questions, just ask! Wateresque (talk) 19:49, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Keith frid

[edit]

Hello Cain613,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Keith frid for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks, Rushbugled13 (talk) 21:09, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the question. For an individual to be included in Wikipedia, the individual must be notable according to the criteria here. If after looking over this criteria he appears to be notable, please include the relevant information in the article and let me know that the subject's notability has been substantiated. If you have any further question, feel free to talk to me. Rushbugled13 (talk) 21:30, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
