Hello, just a couple tips: You might want to read over MOS:LINK, It's standard on Wikipedia to only link to something once once in the lead, and optionally once in the body of an article and once in an infobox. Also, per WP:LASTNAME, whenever we repeat a name, we use the last name only, unless it might be confusing, in which case the full name is also acceptable. If you have any questions, let me know Grayfell ( talk) 00:27, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
Please stop overlinking. It is not helpful to link to another article more than once in the body of an article. If you have any questions, leave a comment here and I will be happy to try and answer it. Grayfell ( talk) 03:37, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
Once again, please stop adding overlinks. One link is enough. You should also read WP:WTAF regarding adding names to a list. Additionally, we generally don't add wikilinks to section titles. It can create a few technical problems in the long run. Additionally, I don't know if you have any personal connection to Lakewood Church, but if you do, please read about having a conflict of interest. Grayfell ( talk) 21:26, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
Hello, I'm
Grayfell. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of
your recent contributions to
Iglesia Lakewood because it appeared to be promotional.

Speedy deletion nomination of Paul Osteen
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 Paul Osteen 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 or group of people, 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.
If you think that your 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. – TC N7 JM 18:19, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
