User talk:GameOfLife
First, welcome to Wikipedia. Regarding your comment about contact info, it is widely held dogma on Wikipedia not to include contact info on the page, this is not encyclopedic. It is something you would find in the telephone book. If someone wishes to find out more about the college, they can surf to their own site, which is linked at the bottom of the page. For more on this policy, see the relevant page on "What Wikipedia is not". Also, don't forget to sign your comments to user pages using ~~~~, and always place new comments at the bottom of a talk page, unless the user has otherwise instructed. Thanks! -Scm83x 23:16, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

21:39, 24 May 2006 (UTC)~hi, I copy pasted those im sorry, I was meaning to do the external links and fine tune my contributions. I havent had the chance to do that yet and the page says not to edit them now so I dunno what I should do now. That link listed above was where I got it from...Could someone creadit one of the articles so I can have a base and from there I can do it...I am not sure how to use that type of feature on wikipedia but I just wanted to add to the knowledge of it.
- In each of the pages above, there is a line that says "If you plan to write a new article, please follow this link to a temporary subpage." All you need to do is click on the link to the temporary subpage and start your article again. However, please remember one thing: simply modifying copyrighted text is not sufficient to avoid copyright violation — it is best to write the article from scratch. Hope this helps. 22:42, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
Notability of Brian Doxsee
A tag has been placed on Brian Doxsee, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. SkierRMH 09:25, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Doxsee Roofing Inc., requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.
If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. :: ZJH (T C E) 09:37, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
