Welcome![edit]

Hello, Blindlines, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Zero Dark, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Dwaipayan (talk) 16:52, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Good article"[edit]

I noticed that you marked the article Zero Dark with a "good article" template. Articles should not be marked with this template unless they have gone through a good article nomination and passed. Brambleberry of RiverClanmeow 17:04, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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 Zero Dark requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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. Ubelowme U Me 17:44, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please see WP:BAND to see what criteria a band must meet before it merits an article on Wikipedia. If you can write an article that demonstrates the band meets one or more of the criteria listed, then you are welcome to try again. ~Amatulić (talk) 19:24, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Amatulić, that's the problem. It wouldn't save, so I had to post to a main article to try to save it that way. That was why I commented saying that it wasn't finished and was a work in progress, please don't delete. If you could repair, then that would be very helpful. Thank you.

Then work on the article in your own user space, where you can expand it at your leisure without worrying about it being deleted. If you want, I can restore the deleted article to User:Blindlines/Zero Dark for you to work on. When you're done, you can move it to main article space. Let me know. ~Amatulić (talk) 17:41, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
OK, the article has been restored to User:Blindlines/Zero Dark. Drop me a note if you need help moving it back to main space when you're done.
By the way, remember to log in before editing in your user space. Anonymous IP edits may get reverted if it isn't obvious that you're the same user. ~Amatulić (talk) 18:04, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
