Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. —Skyllfully ^(talk | _contribs) 20:52, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

Another picture!

Here's you a picture of a red-tailed viper!

If you want more pictures for your userpage, check out Commons:; they have thousands to choose from. 🐍 You can also put up links to articles you want to work on; see my userpage for some ideas! White Arabian mare (Neigh) 21:32, 6 October 2015 (UTC)White Arabian mare

Thanks!

Thank you @skyllfully and @neigh for helping me with my user page! — Preceding unsigned comment added by WaterViper (talk • contribs) 20:17, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

You're welcome. The 'Neigh' in my name, though, takes you to my talk page. Just an FYI. ☺ White Arabian mare (Neigh) 01:59, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

Some tips for you

Since you like vipers, you may want to see if there's a WikiProject for them or reptiles in general, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Directory. If there is, you can join and help make good viper articles. By the way, when you mention people's names on your page, you can ensure they see it by writing their name like this: [[User:Example|Example]]. It will automatically send them a notice that their name was mentioned on another page. If you have any questions, just send me a talk page message by clicking on the word 'Neigh' after my name. 🐍 White Arabian mare (Neigh) 14:13, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Cubing

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice that Draft:Cubing, a page that you created, has been tagged for deletion. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It appears to be a test page. (See section G2 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do, and take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.
• It is a rejected submission at Wikipedia:Articles for creation, and it has not been edited in over six months. (See section G13 of the criteria for speedy 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

New deal for page patrollers

Hi WaterViper,

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
