Hi! I just deleted your article based on the fact that it was a cut and paste from another site...and then I noticed your user name. Is that article about yourself and do you own the rights to it? If so, I'll gladly replace it. - Lucky 6.9 06:27, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

yes this is about my self - alter-ego statment, I'm new to this but want to add 100+ greek visual artist, please reactivate

You got it. Sorry about the inconvenience. I moved your second article to a title more in keeping in line with what the site requires: List of Greek visual artists. If you'd ever like to leave me a message, just click on my user name. Welcome to Wikipedia! - Lucky 6.9 06:52, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

OK, Dimitris, you're set. The text just needs some adjusting to bring it in line with Wikipedia's style. I've marked it to alert other users and left word that you own the copy. - Lucky 6.9 06:56, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Lucky 6.9! thanks, but how do I get the names one after the other in a verticle column? to make it practicle and vissable for access!

Already there. Just type an asterisk at the beginning of each name. I've done it for you already. - Lucky 6.9 07:14, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, one more thing: As you add information on each artist, here's how you can get rid of the red links. First, let's say you write about an artist named "John Smith." You wouldn't write about him as "SMITH, John." On the list, it's easy to make whatever you write point to another article. Here's how you do it: [[John Smith|SMITH, John (1922-1998)]]. Of course, this is just an example. - Lucky 6.9 07:17, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

ok Lucky 6.9! ...is this a better List of Greek visual artists, now all I have to do is add info and bio / pictures to each link, can I use a template to make everything easy to build and view for each input!

The article you created at Dimitris C. Milionis was listed for deletion as An article about a real person that does not assert the importance or significance of its subject, criterion 7 in the criteria for speedy deletion, Articles section. Since it appears to be about you I've moved it to your user space instead, which was probably what you intended in the first place (a common mistake among newcomers!).

If you really did mean to create an article about yourself please be aware that this is often considered a bad idea, even if you do meet the guidelines for inclusion of biographies.

I know Wikipedia can be confusing for new editors, so you are welcome to ask for help at the help desk or on my talk page. Just zis Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] 23:31, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User: Dimitris C. Milionis

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to your user page (User: Dimitris C. Milionis), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy).

Please note that the purpose of a user page is not as personal homepage or Wikipedia is not a general hosting service, but as way for active editors of Wikipedia to introduce themselves to other editors. If you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues here or on my user talk page. You may remove the deletion notice, and the page will not be deleted for the moment, but note that it may still be sent to Miscellany for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.
