I just deleted an article "Larry Geller". I want to resubmit under same name but very short version to try and get it through. I have no idea how to put in format that Wikipedia would approve. Is there a way I can resubmit it today and you or someone look at it to see if it will go through? Please let me know. Thanks!

I have no idea whether I'm typing in right spot because just to find WHERE to send a reply is complicated. I wrote a paragraph or two to you but didn't see a reply so maybe you didn't get it? There is nothing easy about this site. Maybe if you respond, it would take me to a link saying CLICK HERE to reply just so a person knows where to respond. As I said before, I'm totally confused on what has been done on my Larry Geller DRAFT. I had DELETED it based on Tim Trent telling me how. Then next thing when I check, you or someone said you UNDELETED it and people have been editing it for me??? I have no idea if or when this will be ready to post. The reason I deleted the article is - I wanted to DELETE and then post a very simple, short article to get approved. Seems this is a complicated mess and I want to know whether this is completed and ready to approve. If not, I truly would like to know so I can DELETE and submit a short article which will be approved. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE update me so I can finally resolve this. I'm getting tired messing with it.....it was started in May and it's now November. This is unbelievable. PLEASE let me know where it stands.
Thanks!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current
Arbitration Committee election. The
Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia
arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose
site bans,
topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The
arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to
review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on
the voting page. For the Election committee,

Hi Jeff G!
I know nothing about Wikipedia and it's extremely hard to follow. I just got a message this morning (first one I've seen in several days) and people were saying they've heard nothing from me? I sent you a message about a week ago saying last time I got message from Tim Trent he told me how to remove and delete the long version.....which is what I planned on posting a very short article. But then someone reversed my delete and started editing the longer version. This is great but NOW, people are posting and getting frustrated saying I'm not contributing. I feel I am in a complete maze of delete, undelete, people helping, then people complaining I'm not doing editing. I'm even more frustrated as this has wasted my time when I probably could have posted the short version and moved on with it.
Now, where does this stand? Is it at a standstill again and not any closer in being able to approve and posted this article? I can't believe I started this in May and am going around and around with everyone under the sun. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE give me an HONEST ANSWER to where this article stands??? PLEASE!! THANK YOU!
