Nmilety
Welcome!
editHi Nmilety, and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm Ed, a recent college graduate and an editor here. As cliché as it sounds (try not to roll your eyes), Wikipedia is created by the collective contributions of regular people just like you, so I'm excited to work with you during the semester!
If you need any help, a visit to our Help:Contents page may be able to give you a swift answer. If it doesn't, please feel free to leave me a message on my talk page (click "new section" for a new post, or "edit" to reply to an older post) or ask your question on this page and place {{Helpme}}
before the question. No question to me is too small, as I'm all too aware that this can be a ridiculously complex website.
Your professor has also posted a helpful set of links on your course page under "Resources".
I don't want to burden you with even more pages to read (I'm sure your classes have assigned you enough reading for a lifetime), so just remember:
- Help:Contents is your link to Wikipedia's extensive collection of help pages.
- You can usually type "WP:___" in the search bar to find what you want. For example, if you wanted to find out what a talk page is, searching for WP:TALK is pretty simple.
- If those don't work, don't panic. That's what I'm here for. Leave me a message and I'll see what I can do.
Good luck! I hope you enjoy your editing here—at least as much as any student can enjoy a class assignment!—and I encourage you to continue editing after your class ends. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 17:52, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Nathan Milety
editIf 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 Nathan Milety 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 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. reddogsix (talk) 05:05, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
