Hi Ebe123. I noticed you created an [[WP:RFA|RfA]] page some time ago. I was wondering as to what the status of that RfA might be. {{#if:yes|I think it's fair to warn you that new users are rarely successful at RfA and that the Wikipedia editing community sets very high standards for editors running for adminship.}} Please let me know if you still intend to run for adminship with [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/ebe123|that RfA]]; otherwise, I'll go ahead and delete it for you in about a week or so from today.

A tag has been placed on [[:Porchfish]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#A1|section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see [[Wikipedia:Stub#Essential information about stubs|Wikipedia:Stub]] for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on [[Wikipedia:Notability|notable]] subjects and should provide references to [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable sources]] that [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verify]] their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{tlc|hang on}} to '''the top of [[:Porchfish|the page that has been nominated for deletion]]''' (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on '''[[Talk:Porchfish|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 Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

::::This info is a bit late, I know, but in case youre still wondering, it looks like what happened was that you attempted to nominate the page for speedy deletion, but it had been already deleted by NawlinWiki a few seconds earlier, so you ended up re-creating the page with your own speedy deletion tag on. Since the early edit was deleted, you were seen by the software as the creator of the page. Things like that will happen from time to time and it's not anyone's fault. Although the software does warn you when you attempt to recreate a page that has just been deleted, I believe Twinkle may ignore that warning. Also it doesnt always come up, due to the lag time of the servers (usually a few seconds). <b>[[User:Soap|<font color="green">—</font>]][[User talk:Soap|<font color="057602">''Soap''</font>]][[Special:Contributions/Soap|<font color="green">—</font>]]</b> 13:35, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

:Sorry to jump on you, but this cost me some time, and was annoying. I assumed that after being here a year and making a thousand edits, you'd have learned this by now. Yes, whenever you bring up a previous version of an article and save it, everything else is written over (this is a good way to erase a lot of vandalism, if ALL of it is past a certain version-- you just go back to the pre-vandal version and save that. If you save a previous version with good edits after it, that's usually not a problem if somebody notices this immediately, and does the reverse to YOUR edit. But if you do this and then a bunch of editors add new stuff AFTER you without noticing that you've taken out a lot of good edits (as in the [[fluorine]] article), it becomes difficult to disintangle, since good edits are mixed in with bad ones.
