Copy typist[edit]

Me again! You recently created the page copy typist. However, there's already an entry for data entry clerk which is essentially about the same subject (though the latter is a bit broader). Still, it doesn't make sense to keep separate articles so I've redirected the term "copy typist" to the "data entry clerk" article. You are free and in fact very much encouraged to help construct the short article on data entry clerk. Note that, if you want to re-use it, the content you added to "copy typist" has not disappeared: it can be accessed through the page's edit history. If you're not familiar with that technicality, you can just follow this link [1] where you'll be able to copy/paste any part of it. Pichpich (talk) 21:34, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia has different pages for American football and Rugby but they are essentially the same :) Before erasing the page please talk to some of your friends who work in these two roles and find out for yourself how different the jobs are.Scottonsocks (talk) 21:55, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your contributed article, Copy typist[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Copy typist. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Touch typing. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will to continue helping improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Touch typing - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. andy (talk) 22:56, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of The Spice Trail[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on The Spice Trail, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 18:01, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

May 2012[edit]

Thank you for your edit to the disambiguation page Hub. However, please note that disambiguation pages are not articles; rather, they are meant to help readers find a specific article quickly and easily. From the disambiguation do's and don'ts, you should:

Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
Use short sentence fragment descriptions, which should not end with punctuation
Use only one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry, and avoid red links
Do not pipe links—keep the full title of the article visible
Do not insert external links

Thank you. just a tip - WP:MOSDAB helps with style Widefox (talk) 13:28, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
