[edit] Welcome, and thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test on the page Toad worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment further, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Your additions aren't notable enough for inclusion in the article, sorry! Gscshoyru 20:56, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
Toad
[edit]Hey Gscshoyru,
Sorry, we are new to wikipedia and are not familiar with all the rules. Could you explain to us why it is that Slippy Toad, who is a toad, was removed from the toad wikipedia article?
Thank you, looking forward to your reply! Slippy'sshipisunderrepair —Preceding unsigned comment added by Slippy'sshipisunderrepair (talk • contribs) 21:02, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
- Basically, that addition is not notable enough for inclusion in the toad article. It belongs in the article on the character itself, not the article on toads. Gscshoyru 21:07, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
Thank you Gscshoyru,
I think I understand now. What makes someone notable enough for inclusion in the toad article?

- Basically, information on toads -- you may want to do some reading of policy -- WP:TRIVA and WP:NOT pertain to your addition specifically, and the other links from the welcome template are useful reading as well. Gscshoyru 21:16, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
Your recent edits
[edit]Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 21:22, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
