  • Please respect others' copyrights; do not copy and paste the contents from webpages directly.
  • Please use a neutral point of view when editing articles; this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
  • If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
  • Do not add unreasonable contents into any articles, such as: copyrighted text, advertisement messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such unreasonable information or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, and will result in your account being blocked.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page.

[edit] Kermit

Re Kermit Paint Factory and I have newspaper clippings but don't know how to cite them here. Don't be ridiculous: you say "You can have our paint any colour - as long as it's green", Bradford Evening Mercury, 23 June 1945, page 23, ie. <Article title or a very brief quote from it>, <periodical name>, <date and page number>. Better still, scan them and post on your website (to post them here would be a copyvio) and give us a link to them. And do it soon before I put the article up for AfD. -- RHaworth 07:02, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

I hope you can see this (I'm not sure if this is being sent as a message to you). Please be more polite to me btw. I have been very polite in my short stay here and it would behoove you to act in a similiar manner. Where within the article do I put the citations/how do I direct a reader from the claim needing citation to the citation? And no, I will not be scanning them and hosting them on a website of my own if it's a copywrite violation to put them in wikipedia I can't see how it'd be alright to put them on a site of my own (I also have more practical reason of lacking a scanner, but I'll focus ont he princpled reason anyway).

PS: I'm going to sleep. I certainly hope you can wait long enough for me to sleep and get around to internet recreation before getting trigger happy and deleting things. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Decepticon (talk • contribs).

Editing user talk:RHaworth was the correct way to communicate. You repeated the above comment there and I have only blanked it there because I prefer to keep a talk thread in one place.) Please use ~~~~ to sign talk page comments.

What on earth have I said that you think was impolite? You do seem to be prevaricating. The fact is that references made in any form will be accepted and, if necessary, gently edited into standard form. If there are any web pages that confirm your story, please give their URL's. For printed material, as I said, give: the source (newspaper name, book title, etc.), date and page number, and a summary (or brief quote) from the content. Surely it is fairly obvious that that is what a reference is?

Incidentally, your choice of user name is a bit unfortunate in the circumstances - it tends, inevitably to suggest that your object is deception. -- RHaworth 13:10, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

If I was trying to decieve I wouldn't invent a name suggesting so. If you're unaware, "Depicton" is a reference to a children's cartoon.

[edit] Glenn Bahr article

I've been watching the article since Exterminance posted that message on Stormfront. So far nothing has happened, but I'll certainly be watching.

Oh, and welcome to wikipedia by the way. Could always use some good editors. AnnieHall 18:33, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
