[edit] May 2007

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. An article you recently created, Black Corinth, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new articles, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do and please read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. --TREYWiki 21:22, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

As I posted on TREYWiki's talk page, I don't think this a candidate for speedy deletion, since while it's short, it isn't missing context. You deleted the {{db-nocontext}} tag when you added your {{hangon}} tag, which isn't something you should do as the original author, but I would have deleted it anyways (which I'm allowed to do since I'm not the original author), so no real harm done. I also deleted your signature (~~~~) from the article; the signature should be only use on "Talk" pages, either where we're talking about an article, or on a user's talk page when you want to communicate with them. Lots of stuff to learn, but thank you for adding to Wikipedia. I'll add one of the standard Welcome templates after this which has some good links to read about how to use and create here. Welcome! - Fordan (talk) 22:17, 12 May 2007 (UTC)


Hi Collins83, and Welcome to Wikipedia!

Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you enjoy the encyclopedia and want to stay. As a first step, you may wish to read the Introduction.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me at my talk page — I'm happy to help. Or, you can ask your question at the New contributors' help page.

Here are some more resources to help you as you explore and contribute to the world's largest encyclopedia...

Additional tips...

  • Please sign your messages on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically insert your "signature" (your username and a date stamp). The Image:Wikisigbutton.png button, on the tool bar above Wikipedia's text editing window, also does this.
  • If you would like to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
  • If you'd like to tell us about yourself and meet other new users, be sure to introduce yourself at our new user log.
Good luck, and have fun. --- Fordan (talk) 22:17, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
