I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

A biographical article you have recently written may not meet Wikipedia's generally accepted criteria for inclusion of biographies. It has likely been marked for deletion. Don't worry, there are several other options:
- Create an entry for yourself on one of the many social networking websites.
- Many ISPs allow you to create your own website, often at no extra charge.
With the above options your biography will be protected from being edited by others, unlike a Wikipedia article.
- You may create a wiki at EditThis.info or one of the other wiki farms.
- If you are attempting to make an entry for genealogical purposes, you may find WikiTree.org a useful site (but please do not simply copy material to Wikitree unless you are the original author - their license terms are different from Wikipedia's).
- If you are, or intend to become, a regular Wikipedia contributor, please use your user page (user:KipptheCool) to post biographical information about yourself.

Thank you for experimenting with the page Bowen Island on Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you may want to do.

[edit] Your edit to Bowen Island
Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to the Bowen Island page. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. --Qyd 03:41, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Bowfest
I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Bowfest, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
