Welcome to Wikipedia, Seminole Sam! I am Aleta and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Introduction
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

Hi Sam, since you probably don't have the idea yet of watching pages where you post, I'm letting you know that I replied to you on my talk page, near the bottom. :) Aleta ^Sing 03:07, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I was just looking at your user page, and I noticed that you weren't quite sure what a user page was for. Pretty much, it is a special page on Wikipedia that allows you to let other editors know who you are and what you're interested in. You can include a short biography, subjects that you are interested in working with, awards you may have received, and many other things. Take a look at WP:USER for the full, official description of what a user page is for, and feel free to ask if you have any questions! —Mears man (talk) 03:11, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I'm just wondering why you've added a link to the homepage to the Mr. Spaceman article. An article about Bob Dylan and The Byrds found online has been used as inline reference #8 for the Mr. Spaceman wikipedia entry, but I'm not sure how an external link to the plumbing homepage is relevant? Maybe I'm missing something here though, so I just thought I'd ask. Kohoutek1138 11:04, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Draft:Bonny G. Smith, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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 "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 deleted 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. jd22292 (Jalen D.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Bonny G. Smith requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. 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.

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by I dream of horses was:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

Only one press release as a source, which doesn't prove notability. On top of that, 'name plus occupation' hardly qualifies as an article. I removed the deletion tag, though. It was tagged for deletion too soon.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Bonny G. Smith and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Bonny G. Smith, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and save.

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Politifact, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Doug Weller talk 19:36, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
