Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content. Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. If it is a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If the page has been vandalised, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please edit the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia!

The deletion process is collaborative. If you don't want the article deleted, the prod notice explains how to handle that. You might also review WP:NEO for why new terms aren't usually appropriate for articles. NickelShoe 14:42, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The latter of these urgently requires removal - it was uploaded to Wikipedia by mistake, and there seems to be no easy way of correcting these things. It has started something of a war, and urgently needs resolving. Whilst I can be more careful in the future, it's really bad that you can easily make things, but can't correct errors like this, say within the first week of uploading them. I appreciate that Wikipedia relys on content being uploaded and added, but by not being at all forgiving it is really off-putting when a mistake has been made.

As for the Bowzo article, I was merely trying to describe this thing, and on reflection agree that it is not the ideal location for it. Although I could change the page title, I regret that my use of English is not interpreted as intended outside England. Many apologies, I would rather you just delete the whole thing. —This unsigned comment was added by Coolvid2000 (talk • contribs) .

A war? Not sure what you mean. I don't see any messages about it on your talk page, and no relevant history to the image itself. How has it been off-putting? We try not to rush deletions, especially of images, unless we're sure that there's no good reason to have them. What do you mean about the interpretation of English? This an international encyclopedia, which included plenty of speakers of British English.

I've never been involved in image deletion, but if you add {{db-author}} to it, that will at least put it on a list that will get the attention of someone who knows the right way to do it. Hope that helps.

Also, when you post to talk pages, it is helpful if you sign your comments with ~~~~, which is converted to your user name and the current time/date when you save the page. That way people can find who's talking to them easily. NickelShoe (Talk) 16:12, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
