Speedy deletion nomination of Iraqui Bombing of 2016[edit]
Hello The Geckonatior,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Iraqui Bombing of 2016 for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain any encyclopedic content. Take a look at our suggestions for essential content in short articles to learn what should be included.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Erick Shepherd (talk) 22:07, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Iraqui Bombing of 2016. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Iskandariya_suicide_bombing. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Iskandariya_suicide_bombing – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Erick Shepherd (talk) 22:25, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Fake genders[edit]

Hey, does anybody have an idea for a topic I can write about? Most of the ones I make are either already done, or deemed "too trivial". — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Geckonatior (talk • contribs) 21:48, 29 March 2016
Parti poodles[edit]
- It appears that your Parti Poodles article has been merged into the larger Poodles article. While, I was inserting an advice template there, another editor, probably an administrator, merged it in with the Poodles article. The advice I put on the template was that I thought your article should be merged into that one, but the other editor did exactly what I only recommended. You should go to Poodles general article and make sure that all of your information about the Parti Poodles is in there--or put it in. I am sorry that they prematurely merged your article into that one. I would have wanted it to take more time and come about after a discussion and consensus. But, good luck. If you need anything, I'll be here. Garagepunk66 (talk) 10:27, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

Advice on editing[edit]
I see that you are keen to contribute articles, but find it difficult to find a suitable topic for which we haven't already got an article. My advice to new editors is that it is best to start by making small improvements to existing articles, rather than creating new articles. That way any mistakes you make (which you will, because we all do) will be small ones, and you won't have the discouraging experience of repeatedly seeing hours of work deleted. Gradually, you will get to learn how Wikipedia works, and after a while you will know enough about what is acceptable to be able to write whole new articles without fear that they will be deleted. Over the years I have found that editors who start by making small changes to existing articles and work up from there have a far better chance of having a successful time here than those who jump right into creating new articles from the start. Sooner or later you will find a suitable topic to write an article on, but be patient. I had been making small improvements, and reverting vandals, and so on, for quite a long time before I found a topic that I thought needed an article and didn't have one.
