Welcome!

Hello, Jlfbrown, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Adam and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Oops!

Hi Jlfbrown, and again welcome to Wikipedia.

I'm Pete from Melbourne in Australia aka Shirt58 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), a Wikipedia editor since 2006 and and also an "administrator" on the English language Wikipedia.

Unfortunately "Talk:Zoning district", a Wikipedia page you created, has been "speedily deleted".

The reason for the "speedy" was because it was the page for discussion - called a "talk page" in Wikipedia jargon - about an "article webpage" that doesn't exist.

In this case, the Wikipedia "mainspace" or "articlespace" article webpage would Zoning district. I guess I could start the article myself, but that would defeat the purpose of this UBC project.

Please feel free to ask me anything about this in particular, or anything about Wikipedia in general.
