Welcome!

Hello, ZigZagoon99, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Diseptomina Virus, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

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 Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Speedy deletion nomination of Diseptomina Virus

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing inappropriate pages, such as Diseptomina Virus, is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

July 2016

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Dorothyann Nelson. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Meters (talk) 06:45, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/ZigZagoon99, you may be blocked from editing. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 17:52, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

South western

Hi. I note that you changed south western to southwestern in Battle of Auberoche. As a general point I would note that articles which have recently become featured articles, less than five weeks ago in this case, rarely have significant flaws. As a more specific point, this - two words, no hyphen - is the standard British English version and is common elsewhere. I offer in evidence: South Western Railway; South Western School District; South Western Highway; South Western Railway zone. These are each from a different continent - to establish common usage, including one from the US. Unless an article is specifically tagged as being in US English, you are changing the spelling to an incorrect version with this and similar changes. Even if it is in US English, south western etc may still be correct. Gog the Mild (talk) 23:25, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, Apologies

Ah, apologies for this. I will refrain from using hyphenated and conjoined versions of directions. Thank you for pointing this out. :)

No problem. I still occasionally fall for thinking that an acceptable variant is a mistake. And more often mix them up. If you like to do occasional copy editing, you should consider joining GOCE. I will put an invite below. Gog the Mild (talk) 23:37, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
