Welcome!

Hello, Lbal, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Johnson Park Elementary School, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

New to Wikipedia? Please consider taking a look at the our introductory tutorial or reviewing the contributing to Wikipedia page to learn the basics about editing. Below are a few other good pages about article creation.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions ask me on my talk page or you can just type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Proposed deletion of Marvin R. Reed

The article Marvin R. Reed has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Mayor of small town, meets neither WP:GNG or WP:NPOL.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Hello! Your submission of Operation Concrete at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) at your nomination's entry and respond there at your earliest convenience. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Ktin (talk) 05:23, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lbal, you just promoted your own DYK nomination of Operation Concrete to Prep 5. As this is not allowed, I have reverted you. Not only are nominators forbidden from promoting their own nominations, but your nomination had already been promoted, albeit using your ALT1 hook rather than the original one you used, to Prep 2, where it is now. Please do not promote your own hooks again, nor should you edit them once they are in Prep. If you have any concerns or questions, you are welcome to post to the DYK talk page, WT:DYK. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:36, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@BlueMoonset Ah, thank you. I was unaware of the guidelines. Lbal (talk) 17:45, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
