Your page is on the English Wikipedia. πr2 (talk • changes) 16:51, 9 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
By the way, you are just advertising the library. This is a COI. πr2 (talk • changes) 16:53, 9 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

its on english wikipedia? does that mean it is now published and visible to anyone who searches the library?... and we are not simply advertising the library .. it has all of its history and information.. other libraries also have pages with similar information.

It is still in your userspace. If you remove the "we," "us," and all caps headers, it can be moved to the articles space, but only if it is notable. πr2 (talk • changes) 16:58, 9 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

ok i fixed the all caps headers but cant seem to find where there is "we" and "us" terminology used... also my question is what other steps do i need to take in order to have the page be approved and moved to the articles space? Lindenhurstlib (talk) 17:07, 9 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

"follow us on twitter". I can move it for you if you want. πr2 (talk • changes) 17:09, 9 July 2010 (UTC)Reply


oo ook yea i can take that out all together if that's the only issue.Lindenhurstlib (talk) 17:14, 9 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

By the way, in order to move, your account must be at least 4 days old and have at least 10 edits. πr2 (talk • changes) 17:16, 9 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

and yes i would greatly appreciate it if you could move the page for me. Lindenhurstlib (talk) 17:16, 9 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

yea i read that somewhere in the article wizard but i believe the page meets those qualifications... im not sure what date that countdown starts from though. Lindenhurstlib (talk) 17:25, 9 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
