{{helpme}} I have tried to create a page on Koloron, but it is protected, I have asked the admin why, but do not get a reply. --Drachsi 06:52, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Hello, Drachsi. Your question has been answered at Talk:Koloron. It appears that there have been several attempts to create an article with this name, but they have never been more than a dictionary definition (Koloron is the name in Esperanto for colour). The article was protected to prevent future attempts at recreating a definition-only article. It seems there is also a manufactured material named Koloron, however, and an article could conceivably be written about it. Any such article would have to meet the guidelines at WP:CORP. If you believe the article would meet those guidelines, then you could write the article in a subpage of your user space and then ask about getting the article unprotected so your article could be moved there. Before you write the article, though, please familiarize yourself with the appropriate guidelines so you will know beforehand what is likely to be accepted as an article and what would be considered non-notable. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me on my talk page. Thank you. SWAdair | Talk 07:13, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
