Some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Burt bakman may not be sufficiently well-known to merit articles of their own. The Wikipedia community welcomes newcomers, and encourages them to become Wikipedians. By starting an account or logging in, each user is entitled to a user page in which they can describe themselves, and this article's content may be incorporated into that page. However, to merit inclusion in the encyclopedia proper, a subject must be notable. We encourage you to write or improve articles on notable subjects. –Sommers (Talk) 20:56, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. -- Francs2000 21:14, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
Hi Burtbakman. I received your email. The reason I deleted your article was that it was clearly not meant to be a valid encyclopedia entry. Wikipedia is not a free webhosting service. There are plenty of sites that will let you make "a funny write up for me and my friends to see", so I suggest you use one of those. If, on the other hand, you want to contribute towards the great enterprise of building an encyclopedia by collaborative editing then you are welcome to stay.
