A note on vandalism reports
[edit]Hello. I noticed that you reported an IP to the "intervention against vandalism" board. Before reporting someone there, the respective user must be given a number of warnings to see how their behaviour is disruptive, so they may stop it on their own. There are a number of templates for warning people on their talk pages about possible and actual vandalism. With a level from 1-4 you can deliver template warnings like {{subst:uw-vandalism1}} ~~~~ to people's user talk pages, and only if they don't stop their vandalism after a sufficient level of warnings, you may report them to the board. A single vandalism edit without a note to the respective user will be ignored by the admins. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask on my talk page.

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

deletion of your user page
[edit]Your user page did not have any content other than links to example.ogg and example.jpg. Since these files are often inserted accidentally by newbies experimenting with the editing toolbar, we generally want as few pages linking to those files as possible. It is also a common practice for administrators to delete user pages that look like test pages, especially if the user has made few or no edits outside their user space. This is because Wikipedia is not a web hosting service. If you would like to use your user space for serious testing, you should do such tests on a subpage of your user space, such as User:Fangoriously/sandbox. --Ixfd64 (talk) 02:46, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on The First Pencil Voter, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
- It is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. (See section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Wikipedia has standards for the minimum necessary information to be included in short articles; you can see these at Wikipedia:Stub. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
- It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. John F. Lewis (talk) 21:58, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
