Welcome!
[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia, Xjerkkx! I am Elipongo and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- Introduction
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 21:40, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Alesana do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.
The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): rule: '\bmyspace\.com' (link(s): http://www.myspace.com/weweregents) . If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, or similar site, then please check the information on the external site thorougly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creators copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! XLinkBot (talk) 07:25, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of We were gentlemen
[edit]A tag has been placed on We were gentlemen requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Blowdart | talk 19:21, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
With regard to the above, the "Hang on" notice goes on the article itself, immediately below the deletion notice and not on the articles discussion page. I have therefore moved it for you. In addition there is no need to copy the above message to the articles talk page so I have also removed that. What you need do is add a message on the articles discussion page explaining why you believe the article should remain. And please try and sign your comments by either adding four tildes (four of these ~) after your comments or by clicking on the signature tab which appears aboved the edit box. Good luck.♦Tangerines♦·Talk 19:41, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for your message. Not sure why you are asking me about this though? If you click on the above link to what was the article you will see the reason given for the articles deletion and you will also see that the article was deleted by User:WBOSITG, so you will need to direct your question about why it was deleted to them. In addition I wasn't the person who nominated the article for deletion. If you check above it was nominated by User:Blowdart. My only involvement was to try and help you with dealing with the nomination and suggest to you how to contest it, as I wasn't too sure it was relevant for deletion. But as I said that was not my decision to make. Thank you and good luck.♦Tangerines♦·Talk 23:47, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit]Hello. I have replied to your post on my user talk page. Sorry it took a few extra minutes, I was interrupted while writing it a few times. Cheers! —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 22:55, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of We Were Gentlemen
[edit]The article We Were Gentlemen has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Notability: a promo article on a now defunct band. No significant RS coverage can be found.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. K.e.coffman (talk) 17:56, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
