[edit] Template:Aviation lists
Can you please explain why you started writing an article on top of a navagation template, then completely blanked it? That template appears in virtually every aviation article on Wikipedia, so by blanking it, all those articles were affected. I've restored the template to its condition before you started writing. If you're unsure of how to write an article, please read up on our basics first (I'll put a welcome message below that will have links). Also, I'm concerned that the company you were writing about is also your user name, which implies that you're using Wikipedia to promote your company, a big no-no. Please see our guidelines on spam and conflicts of interest. If you need help on how to get started and do it right, please don't hesitate to drop me a line either here or on my talk page. Thanks.

[edit] Reply:Sorry for that
The thing is I just wanted, in a hurry, to make some notes about the subjec. Handling ther issues parallely I did this stupid thing, i.e. deleting the template. Once again, I am sorry, there wa no intention.
- No problem. If you want to make notes for future articles, I suggest creating a sandbox page to work in (I use several of these on my talk page for just this purpose). To do so, simply go to your user page, go into the edit mode, type in [[User:Grossmannjet/Sandbox]], then save it. This will create a redlink. Click on that link and start editing to your heart's content. But, keep in mind, we'd prefer you to not write about yourself or your company. Akradecki 13:48, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, I did so. And now, how to switch this sandbox to publicly vewable article?
