[edit]Hello Rubylaru, and welcome to Wikipedia. I hope that you have enjoyed contributing and want to stick around. Here are some tips to help you get started:
- Learn the basics by reading the introduction and taking the tutorial.
- Remember to sign messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~) to automatically insert your username and the date.
- Enjoy editing to improve articles, but try to leave an edit summary to explain what you are doing.
- Create your first article using the Article Wizard to help avoid common mistakes, which may lead to article deletion.
- Although you don't need to be familiar with all of Wikipedia's policies, try to keep to the core principles and basic guidelines.
- When dealing with fellow Wikipedians, please remain polite, solve problems calmly, and remember that no-one is out to get you.
- Get involved with the community by joining a WikiProject.
- Make any test edits in the sandbox or click here and create a sandbox of your own.
- If you are having difficulty, consider finding a mentor to give you more personal advice.
- If in doubt, be bold. If you make a mistake, it can easily be reverted.
If you need any more information, plenty of help is available - check out Wikipedia:Questions; ask your question here and attract help with the code {{helpme}}

- It appears this article has been deleted because it was advertising its subject. Recreating this article will most likely lead to another deletion, although you could try producing a Userspace draft with the Article Wizard if you feel the subject meets the notability criteria.
- I would say that adding external links is a risky business (although official sites are generally acceptable) and is often assumed to be spam, even if it is done in good faith. However, it may be that your edits had nothing to do with the deletion, which seems likely as you have not received a warning about them. Also, most articles do not have their own sandboxes, experiments are normally done on your userpage.

- You can't revert deletion - the record of the page is wiped. However, you could contact them about collaborating to create a better article. strdst_grl (call me Stardust) 16:27, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
- I'm not sure. Try talking to User:HJ Mitchell who deleted it. strdst_grl (call me Stardust) 18:03, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
