see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

Hola!
I see from your contributions that you have been editing for some time. But, the quality of your edits are suspect. Have you read any of the tutorials? An encyclopedia needs to have some uniformity amongst its articles to make the experience cohesive and enjoyable. Coming out with you own style and format breaks this pattern, and makes it hard for the reader to grasp what you are trying to say.
I highly recommend that you read some of the tutorials and look at some of the Wikipedia:Featured articles to get an idea of what is trying to be achieved here.
Welcome!
Hello, Sfsorrow2, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

The summit of the mountain the thunder of the sky, the rhythm of the sea, speaks to me
The faintness of the stars, the freshness of the morning, the dew drop of the flower, speaks to me.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{

GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at
Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{

Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See
Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 20:00, 19 September 2010 (UTC).

Hello Sfsorrow2 --
I understand that you are frustrated regarding my recent nomination to delete the Volga River Steamers article. Please don't take this personally. WP:NOTABLE lays out the criteria for when we decide that a topic warrants its own article. If you can explain how Volga River Steamers satisfies these criteria, then there should be no problem, and the page will be kept. Also, I've noticed that a large portion of your work does not cite any sources. Please take a look at WP:V, which states that all information added into Wikipedia needs to cite a reliable source. Let me know if you have any questions, or need help with anything. I know it's confusing, and is very different from how you might write in other places, but with an open encyclopedia, it's very important that we maintain strict limits on what type of information gets included, so that Wikipedia remains a credible resource. Again, please take a look at WP:NOTABLE and WP:V, and let me know if you have any questions about them. Best wishes. ~ Mesoderm ( talk) 03:34, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
By now you should know not to leave an article in the state you left it. Go back and add some specifics and some references. Presumably you have a source available, so use it. Perhaps you may have written the article to support the photograph, but it really does need some expansion. I advise you to fix the problem before the article gets nominated for deletion by a regular deletion process.
If I can help you further, let me know on my user talk page. DGG ( talk ) 04:22, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Seattle tugboats. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as yourself. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Washington State Ferries. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Washington State Ferries - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.
If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as "Twelve-foot" Davis, to Wikipedia. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.
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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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.

A tag has been placed on "Twelve-foot" Davis 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

The beauty of the trees, the softness of the air, the fragrance of the grass, speaks to me.
The summit of the mountain the thunder of the sky, the rhythm of the sea, speaks to me
The faintness of the stars, the freshness of the morning, the dew drop of the flower, speaks to me.
The strength of fire, the taste of salmon, the trail of the sun And the life that never goes away, they speak to me.
And my heart soars. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.7.23.169 ( talk) 21:34, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{
GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the
GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at
Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{
non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at
Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See
Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 20:00, 19 September 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Acather96 ( talk) 20:00, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Hello, this is just to let you know that I have granted you the "autopatrolled" permission. This won't affect your editing, it just automatically marks any page you create as patrolled, benefiting new page patrollers. Please remember:
Please do not add or change content without
verifying it by citing
reliable sources, as you did to
Big Hill. Before making any potentially controversial
edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at
Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you.

Hello Sfsorrow2 --
I understand that you are frustrated regarding my recent nomination to delete the Volga River Steamers article. Please don't take this personally. WP:NOTABLE lays out the criteria for when we decide that a topic warrants its own article. If you can explain how Volga River Steamers satisfies these criteria, then there should be no problem, and the page will be kept. Also, I've noticed that a large portion of your work does not cite any sources. Please take a look at WP:V, which states that all information added into Wikipedia needs to cite a reliable source. Let me know if you have any questions, or need help with anything. I know it's confusing, and is very different from how you might write in other places, but with an open encyclopedia, it's very important that we maintain strict limits on what type of information gets included, so that Wikipedia remains a credible resource. Again, please take a look at WP:NOTABLE and WP:V, and let me know if you have any questions about them. Best wishes. ~ Mesoderm ( talk) 03:34, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
By now you should know not to leave an article in the state you left it. Go back and add some specifics and some references. Presumably you have a source available, so use it. Perhaps you may have written the article to support the photograph, but it really does need some expansion. I advise you to fix the problem before the article gets nominated for deletion by a regular deletion process.
If I can help you further, let me know on my user talk page. DGG ( talk ) 04:22, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Seattle tugboats. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as yourself. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Washington State Ferries. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Washington State Ferries - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.
If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. jsfouche ☽☾ Talk 14:17, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
