Welcome!

Hello, Martin-09-DP, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like Dublin pride, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Speedy deletion of Dublin pride

A tag has been placed on Dublin pride requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

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.

Dublin Pride festival

Hi Martin; if you want the Dublin Pride festival article restoring you will have to properly format your request, as per instructions at WP:DRV. Regards, Giant Snowman 13:13, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, you'll need to speak to the administrator who actually deleted it. He/she (probably she) can be found here. Thanks, Ironholds (talk) 13:26, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dublin Pride

I'll help. Feel free to message me on my talkpage if you need anything. Also some quality photos that can be freely donated by each photographer for anyone in the world to use would be helpful. WikiCommons is the place to do that; Category:LGBT in Ireland is sadly underutilized as of yet. -- Banjeboi 13:22, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Dublin Pride

A tag has been placed on Dublin Pride, 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 blatant 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.

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.

Dublin Pride

Hi. Anyway, I removed the speedy tag from the Dublin Pride article. Now, someone might still propose it for deletion although I think it is easily passes the Wikipedia notability criteria. If you want any help fixing issues, give me a shout. I'll take a run through the article now and see if I can fix any problems that I see. If I was going to make a long-term suggestion, I would suggest expanding on the history of the parade rather that just the most recent events. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 23:46, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I acknowledge my error in tagging the article. My apologies. MuZemike 23:49, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cool. Thanks for the help.

Cool. This is the first article I have created on wiki. Thanks for all your help guys.

(reply) No prob. Give me a tick. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 00:00, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A tick, as in a moment. I belive the expression is used in the Big Smoke as well as poor old benighted Limerick. :) FlowerpotmaN·(t) 00:10, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Update: Yup, I can find enough by way of sources to build enough about the history of the parade in the article to leave a base for others to work on; I have to admit that I had forgotten about the incident in 1983 that led to the first one.

I think a lot might have to wait until tomorrow because it is getting a wee bit late for me. Sorry about the delays in replying; my Internet connection is acting the maggot and was dropping every few minutes, although it seems to be back again. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 01:22, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
