User talk:Margaret Watson
Welcome to Wikipedia...
[edit]...but User:Placeholder account has added the "{{prod}}" template to your user page (User:Margaret Watson), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. The reason is given in the deletion notice on that page (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy).
Please note that I did not add the {{prod}} myself, nor am I expressing an opinion about User:Placeholder account's addition of the template.
In general, user pages are not considered as mere personal homepages or used as a part of a general webhosting service, but as way for active editors of Wikipedia to introduce themselves to other editors. If you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues on the user talk page for the person who is proposing the deletion. You may also remove the deletion notice, and the page will not be deleted for the moment, but note that it may still be sent to Miscellany for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.
If you wish to contribute to Wikipedia but your page has already been deleted, you can ask any administrator to undelete and restore the page: if necessary, leave me a message and I'll see that your request is acted upon. To begin editing, here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Don't write about yourself
- Help pages
- Tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
Thank you, and happy editing. Calton | Talk 14:56, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
