Thanks for your note. You asked why I deleted Boomalation. As a general rule, the subjects of articles in Wikipedia must be notable, and the opinion that they are notable must be the opinion of experts (you can follow the links in this sentence to learn more about those ideas). So you can see that a word that you made up, that is not likely to be known to more than a few people, would not be considered to be a word by experts -- people like, for instance, editors of the Oxford English Dictionary -- and thus an article about that word would not find a home here. I'm not sure what requirements Wiktionary has for its entries; possibly that would be something you could investigate. The reason that the article was marked as being "vandalism" is because we use that word to describe an article where someone is trying to convince people of something that isn't necessarily true. I'm sure that you use that word to mean what you said it means, but to other people, that's not the case, and so it was marked as "vandalism". So I'm sorry to say that it's very unlikely that an article about your made-up word would last more than a few minutes on Wikipedia without being deleted. If you'd like to try contributing to Wikipedia in a way that fits in with our policies, you could read Wikipedia:Your first article. Below this message, I'm going to leave you a standard welcome message that will give you a sort of toolkit of useful links, if you'd like to stay and contribute further. If you have any questions, leave me another note. Accounting4Taste:talk 01:49, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
