Removing content from your talk page[edit]
Hello again, AlexWit. I see that you have removed some content from your talk page. You should be aware that the removed content can still be seen via the page history and is accessible to anyone from that page. While you are allowed to remove any content you wish from your talk page, doing so — especially removing content added by other editors rather than bots — is frowned upon. The preferred practice is to archive your user talk page. (See Help:Archiving a talk page.)
Please try to keep in mind that other editors at Wikipedia are trying to help you. Ignoring valid concerns another editor has raised about an article you created will not make those issues go away; instead, doing so may prejudice other editors against your position. All articles on Wikipedia are expected to meet the notability standard being used to question Dear Pricey's suitability as a subject for an encyclopedia article — the article hasn't been singled out simply to be mean. I'm glad to see you have been adding new sources to Dear Pricey. You may want to review Wikipedia's definition of what counts as a "reliable source" so that you can focus on the sources that would be most helpful. Thanks again for your contributions to Wikipedia, and feel free to ask any questions you may have. —GrammarFascist contribstalk 16:15, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
Forgive my rookie errors. Thank you for the advice you've shared. Will now read about what counts as a "reliable source" and try again GrammarFascist
- You're very welcome, AlexWit, and of course forgiven. We were all new here once, and most of us made "newbie mistakes" too.
A couple more things about talk pages: First, you should always sign your name on talk page comments by typing four tildes (~~~~); Wikipedia software converts this into your username and a date/time stamp, with or without a fancily-formatted signature like I've used to make mine green. Second, it's best not to copy and paste someone else's fancy-formatted signature in your own comments, since sometimes this is mistaken for an attempt at impersonation; just refer to someone by their actual username in plain text, so "GrammarFascist" for me (or you could abbreviate that "GF" or "mmarf" as a nickname; nicknames are fine so long as they're not offensive, it's clear who you mean, and the person hasn't asked you not to use that specific nickname). Although it's generally frowned upon to edit other users' talk page comments, I've removed the formatting from my name above to make it clearer that you said that, not me.
- You're very welcome, AlexWit, and of course forgiven. We were all new here once, and most of us made "newbie mistakes" too.
- Another tip for talk page conversations is that it's customary to begin each paragraph of a response to someone else with colons (:) to indicate who's speaking; one colon indents a little bit, two colons indents twice as much, three colons indents three times as much as one, and so on. So your comment above should have begun ":Forgive my rookie errors." I went ahead and used two to indent my response to you, so that the indenting would work correctly if you wanted to edit your above comment to indent it. If you respond below, you would want to use three colons down there; it's always one colon more than the person above you used. Make sure you don't include a space before the colon(s), because " :" at the beginning of a line is interpreted differently at the beginning of a line. —GrammarFascist contribstalk 21:40, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Dear Pricey[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 Dear Pricey, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
