Speedy deletion nomination of Glover v. United States

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.

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 00:11, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

What is the reasoning behind the speedy deletion? I apologize if my skeleton led you to believe I would leave it like that, but I just wanted to make sure the page was saved and my work wasn't lost. It is now filled in completely which should meet the guidelines. Cheers! -- Lord Roem (talk) 00:24, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

Lord Roem, I just wanted to say that although you were completely in the right, you can avoid this issue by putting {{construction}} at the top of the new page. That will automatically place a notice at the top of the page that alerts other editors that you are still editing. Alternatively, you can create your own sandbox by creating a page in your user space, say "User:Lord Roem/Sandbox" where you can edit at your leisure. —Ute in DC (talk) 06:16, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

Adoption

Hello, I noticed that you are interested in being adopted. I am looking for someone to adopt. You seem like a user who would benefit the most from having a mentor. I have over 5000 edits to Wikipedia, although most of them are mostly on medical topics. If you still want to be adopted please reply to this message or contact me on my own talk page. Thanks!!!

Question?

Hello there. Just wondering, do you use this name elsewhere on the web? All the best,--White Shadows ^{Those Christmas lights} 03:38, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. Does that forum happen to be AH.com? (I edit there as 1.36 and just happened to notice that you have a name that matches another one's there)--White Shadows ^{Those Christmas lights} 05:46, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

Indeed it is :) (I'm currently a candidate for the Sandbox Congress there) Anyway, just curious. Back to work ;) (BTW, this conversation fell under WP:MYSPACE so just pretend that we never spoke of this) If you need any help here...I'm at your service. I've been here over a year and know my way as much as most people. Good luck working on the 7th most visited site in the world. All the best,--White Shadows ^{Those Christmas lights} 05:54, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

Vance v. Terrazas eventual FA?

Hi. Without taking any significant effort or time on your part right now (I know you're busy reviewing other articles), how close do you think Vance v. Terrazas is to becoming a Featured Article some day? And what sorts of things should I be thinking of doing in order to raise it to that standard? Thanks.

DYK

Hi could you please check out my DYK nomination for the Frans Otto Eriksson article that I created today. Thanks--BabbaQ (talk) 19:59, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

I have fixed your concerns with the article. Thanks for the input.--BabbaQ (talk) 20:27, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

While you at it could you please check out my nomination for Joanna Yeates that I put on December 25. The article is currently in the ending of a Afd that will end up in a definite Keep, hope that is no problem because the hook is good for the article. Thanks.--BabbaQ (talk) 20:34, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

OK. And when you check it please find out if he/she can find someone to perhaps if they find it OK to close the Afd. Because Keep consensus has been reached.--BabbaQ (talk) 20:41, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

And dont forget to approve the Frans Otto Eriksson article ;),.--BabbaQ (talk) 20:42, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

Im no expert and I might be wrong and the article already granted DYK, but dont you have to put a , and a small explaination for the approval as a confirmation..hmm?--BabbaQ (talk) 21:03, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
