Welcome!

Speedy deletion nomination of Kenmarelace
[edit]A tag has been placed on Kenmarelace, 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, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. tennisman 01:22, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Handmade lace
[edit]A tag has been placed on Handmade lace requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. 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. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

multiple articles
[edit]Just a suggestion. You don't need to create several new articles when one top level article can cover all of the information. It is far better to make a comprehensive quality article and then split off sections into their own articles only when they get big enough. That way we don't end up with repeated information and we can keep a better track on the quality of the information. Polargeo (talk) 20:37, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Images
[edit]Hi. In case you're not watching your page on Commons, I'm letting you know that I posted a question/request there Commons:User talk:Finmix. If you're really old enough to have taken photographs 120 years ago, I suspect you're in the Book of World Records :-) ... if not, please fix the information. Thanks!
