Welcome!

Hi, Cwaters28, and Welcome to Wikipedia!

Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you enjoy the encyclopedia and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read the simplified ruleset. If you need help, feel free to use any of Wikipedia's hundreds of resources. I personally recommend the Wikipedia:Boot Camp, where in addition to standard posts, you can use an IRC to chat online with fellow Wikipedians willing to help! In addition, Wikipedia also has pages dedicated to the use of Wikipedia, for example, if you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting pages visit the manual of style. Feel free to post questions on my talk page - I'm happy to help you with anything you need.

Help

Remember, the links above are always good, but if you still need help, try these:

Wikipedia:Help - ask for general help in editing Wikipedia here
Village Pump - here you can post technical questions about Wikipedia's operation
Reference Desk - where you can get help locating articles or factual information
Tutorial - a nice tutorial for beginners
Policy Library - a overview of Wikipedia Policies
Wikipedia:Cheatsheet - a great way to remember the Wikipedia language.

Additional tips

Here are some extra tips to help you get around in Wikipedia:

If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
You can sign your name using four tildes (~). If your keyboard doesn't have tildes (or for whatever reason) you can also click the button on the bar above the editing section.
You may want to add yourself to the new user log.

Good luck. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danielfolsom (talk • contribs)

Notability of Daniel marcus

A tag has been placed on Daniel marcus requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), 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 an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia 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. Pastordavid (talk) 20:45, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
