Welcome!

Hello, Hammer Buddy, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like Killer sloth, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted (if it hasn't already).

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 New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Speedy deletion of Killer sloth edit

 

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages such as Killer sloth, to Wikipedia. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.

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 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.

Please don't create lots of new Wikipedia articles based on mildly interesting/amusing web sources. Try uncyclopedia, or spend a bit longer here editing and seeing how things work. Thanks. Rd232 talk 15:27, 13 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Not NOT NOT what I am doing... These are all article for genuine objects or occurances Hammer Buddy (talk) 15:28, 13 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Even if they are, which I doubt (killer sloth?), start by adding the topic to the most relevant page (or discussing on its talk page) and see if people agree that it is stuff which should be in Wikipedia. OK? Rd232 talk 15:31, 13 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
You've got the right idea providing sources for your articles, but an encyclopedia article needs to be more than just a sentence or two - read the guide to writing Your First Article and the Guide to writing better articles for some ideas. WP:STUB has some ideas on the minimum size for a useful article. Also, you need to see whether there is already an article on the subject - for instance, your "Killer Sloth" is already covered at Megatherium.

Thank you john and I have added information about it being a carnivore to the megatherium page - it is also nice to have some kindly words here...   why would rd232 doubt a sloth! Hammer Buddy (talk) 15:39, 13 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
