Welcome to Wikipedia!
[edit]Hello and welcome to the English Wikipedia! I'm ApteryxRainWing, a member of the Wikipedia Welcome Committee. We're here to provide new users such as yourself with useful information when first starting out. Before you start editing, I recommend reading these pages that feature policies, style guidelines, things to do, and people you can reach out to if you need help.
Manual of Style - A guidebook explaining how to write encyclopedically.
Your First Article - If you are feeling brave, this page features guidelines and procedures for creating an article on a new topic.
The Teahouse - A little forum where you can go and ask specific questions about editing or making articles. When you ask a question, another editor should stop by within a few hours to answer the question or direct you to an article/policy/guideline that can answer it.
The Five Pillars of Wikipedia - The five most fundamental philosophies the entire Wikipedia project is built on.
Policies and Guidelines - A long list of all the rules that we follow here.
WP:NPOV - Code for Neutral Point of View, a policy that is very important but often ignored.
WP:NOTABILITY - Another specific and very important policy on the notability of a subject that a lot of people ignore.
WP:COI - A policy on Conflict of Interest, meaning that you need to be extremely careful when editing articles about things you are connected to.
WP:RS - A helpful page explaining what a reliable source is.
Perennial sources - A page listing some common sources and how accurate they are, based on community consensus.
WP:OR - A page explaining what original research is, because it is a thing we avoid like the plague here.
What Wikipedia is Not - A more specific list of things you shouldn't do on Wikipedia.
Task Center - A list of tasks you can do to help the encyclopedia such as copyediting or stopping vandals.
Commons - Another Wikimedia project aimed at providing free images to use without fear of copyright strikes. You can also upload your own photos to improve the database.
If you need anything, feel free to ask on my Talk Page. If I can't help you, then the wonderful people at the Teahouse and Help Desk should be able to assist you. If you have a question about an encyclopedic topic, the people over at the Reference Desk should be able to help. We hope you enjoy your time here, and happy editing!

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Bolarinwa malik
[edit]
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.
A tag has been placed on User:Bolarinwa malik, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
- It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
- It appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free Web hosting service. (See section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, 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 deleted 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.
