Sorry, but this was simply not ready for publication. Do not publish your list until it is up to the standard of the articles linked from list of King George V Playing Fields in England. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 10:32, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I am new to this and don't really understand what was wrong with my entry. Just to say it was 'not up to the standard of the article' doesn't help very much Ward.sage (talk) 16:41, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ward.sage. I saw your request for help and wanted to maybe offer a few suggestions? I'm unable to see what your page looked like, as it has since been deleted, but I would recommend as a starting place, cutting and pasting the code from one of the other pages on list of King George V Playing Fields in England into your sandbox and then making the required changes. This will ensure that your page is "up to the standard" of the others. This will ensure that you're maintaining the correct format for the page and including all the relevant information. Once you've got it all filled in, you can then move it to the appropriate place. I'm going to mark your help request as fulfilled, but I'll watch here for any replies and you can feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you need any further help.
