Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Natasha Wheat. Please use the {{hangon}} template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion, and make your case on the page's talk page. Thank you. Baseball Watcher 18:54, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Linking

The link you added to Portland State University was to a disambiguation page. Besides that, the article already links to Portland, Oregon in the first sentence, so I have undone your edit.

Since you seem to be interested in wikilinks, you should refer to the guideline about appropriate linking. Thanks for helping improve Wikipedia! —EncMstr (talk) 06:41, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
