I've used Wikipedia for a lot of years so now I thought it was time to step it up a notch and start editing! I've made my first edits on this day, December 24, 2006. Yeah I know Christmas Eve!! Anyway I enjoy perusing the pages and fixing up whats needed. Currently I live in Hanover, Ontario and work for a company called Wightman Telecom.

So-called speedy deletion involves the scrutiny of only a few people before an article is deleted. The allowable criteria for speedy-deletion are deliberately very narrow. The list of candidates for speedy deletion can be viewed at Category:Candidates for speedy deletion.
Another quick method is the use of proposed deletion: simply add {{subst:prod|reason goes here}} to the top of the article. This is meant for articles where the deletion is believed to be uncontroversial, yet does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion. A proposed deletion can be contested by any user by removing the {{prod}} tag within seven days, and if anyone still wants the article deleted the full Articles for deletion process is required.
Articles which do not meet the narrow criteria for speedy deletion and whose deletion is (or might be) contested are discussed by the community through the Articles for deletion (AfD) process.
