User talk:Authalic: Difference between revisions

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Hope you like it here, and stick around.

Here are some tips to help you get started:

• To sign your posts (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).
• Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
• If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
• Follow the Wikipedia:Simplified Ruleset
• Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
• Remember Wikipedia:Neutral point of view
• Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Good luck!

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Flimap

It seems as if you did not complete this AfD nomination properly (there was no article header). I've fixed this for you, but in the future, I would recommend you read through the AfD instructions on the template before you nominate an article, or other people have to fix these things for you. Just a friendly reminder. Contact me if you need any help with this or anything else. (|-- UlTiMuS 02:08, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Uknewthat

Hi Justin, the blocks will get progressively longer until he starts editing within the policies. I know nothing about the issues but it seems obvious he's engaged in OR designed to show that Einstein was wrong or something. Keep on letting me know if he turns up again to make the same edits in case I don't notice. Cheers, SlimVirgin ^(talk) 05:44, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Health

Hi Authalic,

I greatly appreciate your help in reverting vandalism and spam on articles. Your efforts greatly improve the quality of Wikipedia. Could I ask one small favor? When you revert a vandal or spammer could you leave them an appropriate {{test}} or {{spam}} warning on their talk page? Its important to do this because the vandalism often stops when a user knows they have been spotted. It also helps other editors know about the user's past activities. You can find more information about warning users at recent changes patrol. Again, many thanks for your help. Best, Gwernol 00:43, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm not in the band The Shiny Diamonds

In fact, I have never even met them before. I currently live in Paris and they live in Vancouver (my home town). I heard their music for the first time today on their myspace page. I created The Shiny Diamonds controversy page because I firmly believe that it can meet all wikipedia policies and guidelines. It has been covered by CBC Radio One, the Washington Post, and by City News International. My main motivation for getting this one article to stay alive is that I believe that wikipedia should not become the sum of SOME human knowledge. I recently learned that I'm an inclusionist. Because I'm a still learning the proper ways to create articles on Wikipedia, I have probably screwed it all up. I could really use some help from someone like you. Thank you for your help so far.

Re your recent CfD nominations

Hi Justin,

Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2006 December 20#Category:Early Grand Canyon River-Runners

Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2006 December 20#Category:Early Grand Canyon River Runners

Just to let you know that if you create a category and then spot a mistake in its name, replacing whatever you've put on its page with "{{db-author|reason for deletion}}" should mean it'll be deleted pretty quickly. Best wishes, David Kernow (talk) 08:48, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
PS Have speedy-deleted the two categories nominated above.

Thanks for letting me know about that option. I'm quite new to the Categories namespace and I'm not aware of all of the procedures. And thanks for taking care of the deletion. - Justin (Authalic) 17:05, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
