The reason the article was deleted before was that it had no context. Imagine, for example, that someone stumbled on the article and tried to expand it; There was no indication of what the article was really about, aside that it had a list of words - no mention of the podcast! Articles really should make their context somehow clear, so that people don't end up just confused when they read the article.

My apologies if this has inconvenienced you. However, I'd really recommend looking at other articles and seeing how they are generally constructed, looking at the Manual of Style and other guidelines. it's generally recommended to prepare the article in advance (in user space, if necessary) to a state where it does have some context and other basic information, before posting it in the article space. Providing some context initially shouldn't be too hard.

Anyway, welcome to our highly complex world and happy editing. =)--wwwwolf (barks/growls) 07:26, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
