{{helpme}} How many articles are in Wikipedia?

{{helpme}} Why does Wikipedia want to delete articles, if Wikipedia wants to expand itself?

Because some articles are vandalism, or are lies, or only serve to disparage their subject. Also, some are about subjects which are not notable enough, as we have limited disk space, so while we do look for more information, we can't accept information on just anything, because we don't have enough disk space to hold it all. Therefore, we limit to the more notable topics first, then we will likely look for more information when our server capacity allows it. But don't worry, we arn't gonna run out of disk space soon :) Stwalkerster [ talk ] 11:54, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

{{helpme}} How can I delete unuseable information in "User Talk" sections?

We don't, as wikipedia is transparant we leave all discussions on the User Talk pages, however you can create an archive. Mion (talk) 22:11, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

{{helpme}}What is a 'Portal'?

Hi! From Wikipedia:Portal: The idea of a portal is to help readers and/or editors navigate their way through Wikipedia topic areas through pages similar to the Main Page. In essence, portals are useful entry-points to Wikipedia content. I hope this helps, Stwalkerster [ talk ] 23:35, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
