If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Minooka, Pennsylvania requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Proposed deletion of Minooka, Pennsylvania edit

 

The article Minooka, Pennsylvania has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Seems to be Nonsense

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Please stop... edit

...adding the distance to Scranton in Pennsylvania city articles. I'm removing them now. BMK (talk) 04:50, 17 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

I will but why are you deleting everything I did
I'm deleting everything which I find where you screwed up -- which turns out to be most of your edits. I think you need to stand down from editing, learn a little more about how to do it properly, because youi're not improving articles, you're just making work for people who have to correct your mistakes. BMK (talk) 05:02, 17 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
Some tips: learn how to spell, learn how and when to capitalize, learn which facts are relevant to an article and which aren't, don't change field names in infoboxes. You can't just throw whatever you want into an article, and you can't expect people to take the time to separate the (scarce) wheat from the abundant chaff in your edits. Please read this policy page: Competency is required. BMK (talk) 05:08, 17 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Alright... Going to bed night Oh and if we talk again don't speak to me as if I am an idiot. I'm not. I had spelling errors I know. But I have a 4.0 so yes I know how to spell. Goodnight

If you know how to spell, then spell correctly, capitalize "High School" etc. What makes you think that the distance from every city in Pennsylvania to Scranton is significant? I can only judge by your edits, I can't crawl into your head or read your report cards. Wikipedia is the encyclopedia that anyone can edit, but that doesn't mean that it's easy to do it right. Like everything else in life, it takes effort to do it well.

Your first day of editing hasn't gone all that well, how about trying harder tomorrow? BMK (talk) 05:33, 17 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Alright man. I understand thanks for talking to me anyways

Please avoid changing the places of people's birth and death to "Nazi" Germany, as you did in this edit.
