User talk:Justinform

Welcome!

Hello, Justinform, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Political financing in Canada, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Your contributed article, Political financing in Canada

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Political financing in Canada. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Canadian_politics#Party_funding_reform. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will to continue helping improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Canadian_politics#Party_funding_reform - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Fæ (talk) 20:39, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Userfy

Hi, based on your comments on my talk page I have userfied a copy of the most recent version of your draft article before it was deleted from article space (by someone else). Please see User:Justinform/sandbox where you can continue working on it. You might find WP:RFF a useful place to get an independent review before re-creating it as an article. If you have further questions please drop another note on my talk page. Thanks Fæ (talk) 21:08, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Fæ. Ok, I can do the set up in the sandbox. When I do re-create the article it will be obvious that it is not in any way a fork and it will be much more extensive than the brief mention in passing that's on Politics of Canada. Cheers. Justinform (talk) 21:22, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good. If you are not aware of them, you might find the guidelines on Content forking, General notability guideline and User pages useful as a bit of background reading in case you have anyone quizzing what you are up to, or need to justify the end article. Cheers Fæ (talk) 21:38, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know, I appreciate it. I read over the discussion and it looks like it may have mostly wrapped up for now. Justinform (talk) 01:14, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello User:Justinform. Sometime ago you expressed interest in my proposal for an Occupy movement project on Wikipedia.[1] A formal proposal has been made at the project council proposal page.

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
