[edit] Helpful hints

• If you want an image deleted, you must actually list it on Wikipedia:Images for deletion; just adding {{ifd}} is not enough.
• It is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history.
• It is proper etiquette to discuss edits with other users and respond to talk messages; otherwise, misunderstandings might result and you might find yourself blocked for vandalism.

[edit] More stuff

• Don't add fair use images to templates, as you did on Template:Hanna-Barbera-stub.
• Don't delete mergefrom notices from articles, as you did on Comic strip, unless you have actually merged the articles.
• List of comic and cartoon characters was already deleted once after going through Wikipedia:Articles for deletion (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of comic and cartoon characters.
• I've also listed List of comic and cartoon character pairs on AfD; if you wish to vote for or against its deletion, go to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of comic and cartoon character pairs.

[edit] AfD

Also, if you want to list an article for deletion, you have to follow all the steps, not just adding {{subst:afd}} to an article. —tregoweth (talk) 05:45, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
