These links are not appropriate, we are not a directory or a linkfarm, and we are writing an encyclopedia here. You are now close to violating the 3RR rule as well, please stop, and start discussing first on talkpages, and get consensus there. A further reversion of edits will result in immediate blocks. -- Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 21:37, 16 March 2008 (UTC) reply

[1] Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia.

hu12 what am I doing wrong? Engineer4life ( talk) 17:18, 17 March 2008 (UTC) reply

The recent edit you made to User talk:Beetstra constitutes vandalism, and has been reverted. Please do not continue to vandalize pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thanks. J.delanoy ^gabs _adds 17:13, 17 March 2008 (UTC)) reply

An editor has nominated Jerry Sanders Creative Design Competition, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also " What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jerry Sanders Creative Design Competition and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot ( talk) 18:02, 17 March 2008 (UTC) reply

I have posted a question at Wikipedia:Deletion review#Chicago_Engineering_Design_Team which you may be able to answer. Can you please return to that discussion to answer it? Stifle ( talk) 11:50, 8 July 2008 (UTC) reply
