User talk:Dredwerker
Welcome
Hi Dredwerker, since no one has officially welcomed you to Wikipedia I'll come and introduce myself, and skip the typical welcome template since we have already had a discussion on Talk:Workflow. I appreciate your input regarding that page; it's always much better to have some discussion on a page that needs improvement than none at all.
Along with the help references in the template I linked to above, here are some formatting basics that might help you get started...
- ==H2 Text==
- ===H3 Text===
- --- (horizontal separator)
- '''bold text''', ''italic text''
- [http://www.google.com] becomes [1]
- [http://www.google.com Google] becomes Google
- [[Talk:Workflow]] creates an internal link (leave off the "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/") like this: Talk:Workflow
- [[Talk:Workflow|Go to the Workflow talk page]] creates a link with your own text like this: Go to the Workflow talk page
- Also note that there is no need to include the underscores in the link, those will be placed automatically (List of project management software)
If you ever have any questions, feel free to ask me. Thanks again and welcome,

Welcome
Welcome back to Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page. To stay in Wikipedia, an article has to be about something notable, that is, of general interest. Click on Notability for an explanation of what that means. Also, it must give independently verifiable sources. Articles that don't meet these requirements are likely to be deleted.
- For advice about creating articles, read the Introduction and the Guide to creating your first article.
- You should not write articles about yourself, your band, your client, your boss or your best friend - that's a conflict of interest.
- Wikipedia is not for things made up one day.
- For experiments, please use the sandbox.

Proposed deletion of Religion against sea swimmers
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Religion against sea swimmers, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
- this is not notable; Wikipedia is not for "religions" made up one day.
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Speedy deletion nomination of Fry up friday
A tag has been placed on Fry up friday 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 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for web content. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.
