Welcome!

Hello, AMProSoft, Welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope you like working here and want to continue. If you need help on how to name new articles, look at the Guide to Layout, and for help on formatting the pages visit the Manual of Style. If you need general help, look at Help and the FAQ, and if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions). There's still more help at the Tutorial and the Policy Library. Also, don't forget to visit the Community Portal — and if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my New-Users' Talk Page.

Additional tips:

Here are some extra tips to help you get around Wikipedia:

If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills, try the Sandbox.
Click on the Edit button on a page, and look at how other editors did what they did.
Always give a short explanation of your edits in the edit-summary box.
You can sign your name using four tildes, like this: ~~~~. Always sign comments on Talk pages, never sign Articles.
You might want to add yourself to the New User Log
If your first language isn't English, try Wikipedia:Contributing to articles outside your native language
Full details on Wikipedia style can be found in the Manual of Style.

Happy editing!

Minor & summaries

Two of the most important bits of advice aboveare:

Please remember to mark your edits as minor when (and only when) they genuinely are minor edits (see Wikipedia:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one (and vice versa) is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting and minor rearranging of text should be flagged as a 'minor edit'. Thanks!

and

Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary. Thanks, and happy editing.

Age category

Hello! If you are receiving this message, that means that your user page is in a specific year category. Per a recent user-category per deletion, all specific year categories are to be deleted. If you wish to continue using year categories, you have two options:

Using an age group category, such as Category:Wikipedians in their 30s
Using a decade category, such as Category:Wikipedians born in the 1970s.

If you wish, you may do both. Hopefully, this change in categorization will be quick and painless. Happy editing! --An automated message from MessedRobot 12:40, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Head-Roc

Hi, just saw this newly posted article. I wanted to give you the heads-up (sorry, couldn't resist) that this guy fails the letter of Wikipedia:Notability (music). I think he might get by on the exception-to-every-rule clause, but you might want to consider looking for a non-self-published source for his touring information, if you can find something out there. Good luck with your new article. Darkspots 04:24, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Cultural references to polyamory

A tag has been placed on Cultural references to polyamory, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

This list contains no sources, cannot be verified, and appears to include original research.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Realkyhick 21:07, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding edits to Cultural references to polyamory

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, AMProSoft! However, your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the link you added, matching rule \bmembers\.aol\.com\/.+, is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. Please read Wikipedia's external links policy for more information. If the link was to an image, please read Wikipedia's image tutorial on how to use a more appropriate method to insert the image into an article. If your link was intended to promote a site you own, are affiliated with, or will make money from inclusion in Wikipedia, please note that inserting spam into Wikipedia is against policy. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! Shadowbot 21:17, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sam Melville

Hope I didn't step on your toes by editing the article so soon after you created it. I saw someone had wikilinked Melville in the Attica riots article, so I just followed the link and assumed it was a long-standing article. --CliffC 19:44, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Head-Roc

The article Head-Roc has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:MUSIC, WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO. Tagged for notability for months with no improvements or dispute.

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.
