[edit]
My name is Λua∫Wise and I have been on Wikipedia for sometime now. I have been wandering around when I saw your name and decided to drop by to see if you need help with Wikipedia. I have also attached this list of some links that might help you:
You should also note that you have to sign your comments by using four of those ~ at the end of your messages (i.e. ~~~~, this will simply place your user name and date; see my signature at the end of this message as an example.)
Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have a question or require help with Wikipedia, you can leave me a new message here.
P.S. Some new users find editing Wikipedia a bit difficult at first, but it only seems this way. In fact it is quite easy to get used to editing it and actually finding that enjoyable ! :)
Good luck! :)

A tag has been placed on Windsor Mill, Maryland, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

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 (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Thanks for your improvements
[edit]You seem to have an interest in many of the same articles I do, and have contributed a lot of useful information. I also think that a good article can be created for Windsor Mill, Maryland. I live nearby the area, and with a little more information, one that is not deleted can be written.Sebwite (talk) 23:42, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
I noticed you have made a lot of good faith edits and article creations, but here are some tips for Wikipedia.
- References are important. The reduce the likelihood of an article being deleted. If you use another website as a reference, place it between the tags <ref> and </ref>, and make a section at the bottom of the page with ==References== and {{reflist}} below that line to list them.
- Include one or more categories for the article. To find out what category an article belongs in, look at an article on a similar or related topic, and very likely, it'll fit into the same category. You can include an article in a category by entering [[Category:category name]] at the bottom of the page for each category.
- Businesses with one location or single locations of chain businesses are not usually notable. Such articles will likely get deleted.
- Most roads notable enough for an article of their own in the northwest Baltimore area have been created already. Other large roads can be mentioned in an article about the town in which they are located in the transportation section.
In all, look at the raw material of other article to see how to write Wikipedia articles a certain way, and use Sandbox to experiment.Sebwite (talk) 01:25, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Lyons Mills Road
[edit]I have nominated Lyons Mills Road, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lyons Mills Road. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

A tag has been placed on Chizel It requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.
