Welcome!

Hello, Alexander DeWitt Brooks, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as (redacted), 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 Tea House, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{help me}} 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:

• Starting an article
• Your first article
• Biographies of living persons
• How to write a great article
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Help pages
• Tutorial

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! - MrX 02:21, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

Attack page creation

Please stop! I or another admin have deleted an attack page you created meeting WP:CSD#G10. I see attack page creation as blatant vandalism. Further vandalism may result in you being blocked from editing without further warning. Wikipedia has a strict policy against personal attacks. Attack pages and images are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images, in violation of our Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons policy, will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. I urge you to carefully review Wikipedia:Your first article, as well as Wikipedia:Basic dignity and Wikipedia:BLP.

If you still have questions, there is a new contributor's help page, or you can write {{helpme}} below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You would do well to familiarize yourself with the following pages for a general introduction to Wikipedia.
