Welcome

Hello, InternetFriend, and Welcome to Wikipedia!

That page was already bloated, and your addition to it was one of the bulkiest ever. I've therefore cut it down to size and referred the interested reader here. (Of course, you're welcome to readd the two or three most important references.) -- Hoary (talk) 10:20, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

Thank you Hoary. I appreciate your help with this. InternetFriend (talk) 17:53, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Christopher Karas

Hello, InternetFriend. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Christopher Karas".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Hhkohh (talk) 14:20, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
