Wikipedia is not a general knowledge base
Hello. I have read one comment you added on a vfd notice. And indeed it looks like we could put evrything on the WikiPedia. This is deceptive! Technicaly one can but... WP is an encyclopedia, and not everything is encyclopaedic. For example, I have a cat for the last 14 years. Well, this is all true and verifiable, but it is not encyclopaedic and therefore must not be the topic of an article. For example the square next to my house is named "Green Square". Well.. this all true and verifiable and could be known by some people, but still with no other notable aspects, it would be catastrophic to create an article with such a common name. It would be less bad but still very dumb to create "Green Square (my_city)" with such a no-content... content !
Take time to think about that aspect. We could actually name it vanity. Because I know something does not mean it's worth an article. I always wonder is there a general aspect to something before wondering whether to make an article.
I write all that, because ignorance of Wikipedia is not a general knowledge base leads to enourmous amount of work for many people, can span across months of disputes and most important: add nothing to WP.
If I may suggest one thing, sail a good bit in Votes for deletion to get a feeling of the do's and don't. :-)
So, nice meaningful, encyclopaedic, notable, verifiable, edits to you ! :-)
WP is not a catch-all knowlege base.
