- Sorry to confuse you- I messed up the coding when I placed this template on your page. This article on Sportsvite has already been deleted once, because the web site doesn't meet Wikipedia's notability requirements. But your help is still welcome on Wikipedia- we can always use good new editors! -FisherQueen 12:19, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
- The way I started on Wikipedia was through the Community Portal - click on it on the left toolbar. There are lists of articles that need improving, and it's a great way to learn about what makes a good article. There are articles that need grammar and spelling help, or need links to other articles, or need to be added to categories, and instructions on how to do it. Feel free to ask me questions, and don't let yourself get too upset if other editors don't agree with what you do- things can get heated here sometimes, but we're all working together to build the encyclopedia. -FisherQueen 18:47, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sportsvite
The article was deleted for a few reasons:
- It was written like a press release, which makes people view it as spam.
- There are no verifiable claims of notability. Being one of more than 500 sites to win an honorary Webby Award is really not much of a claim to notability.
- No independent verification of the site's user base was provided. Even then, it would need a lot.
Hope this helps. --cholmes75 (chit chat) 20:23, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
- Glad to hear you'll give it another shot. If you have any other questions, let me know. I can offer one suggestion - you can create temporary subpages off of your user page, which can be used to work on articles before they move to the main article space. If you want, you can create one by clicking here and starting your article there. I'd be happy to look it over when you think it's ready. That way the risk of deletion is much lower. --cholmes75 (chit chat) 18:02, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
