User talk:Petermowforth

Hi. I'm probably in the dummies category but I'm doing my best to edit an article on the First Robot Olympics that took place in Glasgow in 1990 (it's in Guinness book of records etc etc). I started the piece a year ago and put in a lot of work a year ago to get an initial draft and was then waiting for input from others to contribute. Then, after six months I was told if it didn't get completed it would get deleted. I requested it to get put back but when it was all the content had disappeared. Bit demoralised. You just sent a message saying that by now empty document will be deleted. Please, please, if there is any way of getting back the original document I promise to get it finished quickly and to get input from the dozens of robot builders (US, Japan, Russia, India .....) who competed at the time. Any help, guidance etc would be GREATLY appreciated. Many thanks, Peter MowforthPetermowforth (talk) 09:12, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
