Here about a speedy delete?

Greetings ...

If you have come to my Talk page because of the

WP:WEB, or one of the other Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines
.

Only administrators can delete articles (or restore them after deletion), so click here and enter the article's name in the "Title" field to find out who did it ... please leave your message on their User Talk page, not mine, because they made the final decision that it did not belong here, and they did the actual deletion before you could add a {{

Wikipedia:Why was my page deleted?
for more information on the process.

See also: Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles .

Please note that while in

New pages patrol mode, I may tag twelve new articles in a single one hour session
, or literally dozens in a single day ... and once an article has been deleted, I have no way of seeing what it looked like when I tagged it.

My apologies, but in spite of the courtesy warning message that I left on your Talk page, I honestly cannot be expected to remember which of beau coup reasons caused me to tag your fledgling article for speedy deletion ... only the administrator (who BTW agreed with my opinion and consequently deleted it "on sight") will be able to restore it and give you a proper explanation.

Remember that I did take the time to leave a courtesy warning message on your Talk page with a {{

not bite the newbie, so please don't blame the messenger for the "user-hostile tone" of the message that was agreed upon by Consensus
.

By not using a

Good Faith motivation ("The road to Hell
is paved ...")

tags.

If you haven't done so already, now would be a good time to read

Wikipedia:Your first article
.

OTOH, if your article has not been deleted yet, then by all means leave a message on my User Talk page ... I'll explain my concerns and try to work with you, but please note that my response will most likely be moved to either the article's Discussion page or your Talk page (so it won't evaporate if the article is deleted), and even that may not be quick enough to save it.

In any event, I'm sorry that you didn't use

your own sandbox instead of posting a "work in progress" that wasn't ready for scrutiny by overzealous, low-tolerance, deletionist
administrators ... I wish you better fortune with your next article.

Happy Editing! —68.239.79.82 (talk ยท contribs) 06:00, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
