I don't understand.

I have a created a page, and it's removed in a way it doesn't make sense. Can I someone telling what's going on with my page?

It seems to mess up with another page or someone has mixed the 2 together when they don't have much in common ... one is about business, the other one is about accounting. It's like a pajama and a bathing suit, there are both clothing.

The articles you've put up aren't really encyclopedic articles. They read like examples out of an accounting manual, and Wikipedia isn't an instruction manual. I appreciate your efforts, and don't want to discourage you, but these just aren't what an encyclopedia is all about. I'm putting a welcome message above which has links to some pages that explain better how to write articles. You might want to read through this, then add to existing articles on accounting, rather than starting new, short ones. Also, and this is very important, you don't cite any references for what you've written. See WP:V and WP:CITE for details of why this is so important here. Two of your articles have been redirected to existing articles on the subject, a third has been put up for consideration for deletion. Again, I don't want you to be discouraged, and if you want any help in making really good, valuable articles that will last here, please let me know. Akradecki 23:25, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reply on accounting issues

Hi, thanks for your message. Just a note about how talk pages work at Wikipedia...when you leave a new message, you need to leave it at the bottom of the page, rather than that top of the page. You might want to familiarize yourself with the official policy Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. Listed in there is:

“

Instruction manuals. While Wikipedia has descriptions of people, places, and things, Wikipedia articles should not include instructions or advice (legal, medical, or otherwise), suggestions, or contain "how-to"s. This includes tutorials, walk-throughs, instruction manuals, video game guides, and recipes. Note that this does not apply to the Wikipedia: namespace, where "how-to"s relevant to editing Wikipedia itself are appropriate, such as Wikipedia:How to draw a diagram with Dia. If you're interested in a how-to style manual, you may want to look at our sister project Wikibooks.

”

And,

“

Textbooks and annotated texts. Wikipedia is an encyclopedic reference, not a textbook. The purpose of Wikipedia is to present facts, not to teach a subject matter. It is not appropriate to create or edit articles which read as textbooks, with leading questions and step-by-step problem solutions as examples. These belong on our sister project, Wikibooks.

Hope this helps. Akradecki 21:21, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
