So this is where I'm supposed to communicate. People here should respect that for Wikipedia to truly represent the global community, you must give newcomers a chance to get things in order. By all means, highlight if something could be better but just because newcomers don't follow all the 'rules' perfectly first time, should not be a reason to crucify them.

Speedy deletion nomination of Great Galactic Conflict
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Great Galactic Conflict 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 person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content or organised event, 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. -- Finngall talk 20:00, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
- Please don't take it personally. We get a lot of good-faith contributions that need to be deleted or reverted for one reason or another. All article subjects need to have a certain level of notability to merit an article here, backed up by verifiable citations from reliable sources. In the case of GGC, I did some searching and couldn't find much of anything on the web to shore up the material in the article, so I tagged it for deletion.
- Yes, there are a lot of rules around here. But many years of discussion have gone into these rules in the interest of trying to make this the best encyclopedia possible. Rules can and do change, and they don't always work in all circumstances--there's a lot of crap in here along with the tens of thousands of well-written articles. But we try. And one of the biggest rules is to assume good faith in one's fellow editors. We try not to bite the newcomers (and sometimes it isn't easy, since there's also an endless parade of wannabe vandals and spammers coming through), but ideally a new editor should do some homework, and assume good faith in more experienced editors as well.
- Anyway, I thank you for your time, and I hope you'll continue to contribute. Have a good day. -- Finngall talk 17:33, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
