Welcome!

Hello, Newyork yankee for life, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like Greg McCann, may not conform to some of Misplaced Pages's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Speedy deletion nomination of Greg McCann

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as Greg McCann, to Misplaced Pages. 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), 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 Misplaced Pages'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. ttonyb (talk) 02:53, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Re your message: The article was deleted because it was an obvious hoax article. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 20:57, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Repost of Greg McCann

Please do not add hoaxes to Misplaced Pages. Hoaxes are caught and marked for deletion shortly after they are created. If you are interested in how accurate Misplaced Pages is, a more constructive test method is to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Misplaced Pages – and then to correct them if possible. Please don't disrupt Misplaced Pages in an attempt to test our ability to detect and remove such material. Feel free to take a look at the five pillars of Misplaced Pages policy to learn more about this project and how you can make a positive impact. Thank you. –Grondemar 17:46, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
