[edit] Friendly Reminder
This is about the article Istory. Wikipedia is an open-source encyclopedia that anyone may edit. You, or any other editor, may not prohibit others from editing articles. Only admins have that power, and that's only used to deal with instances of gross vandalism
By the way, your article is up for deletion, and I suggest you read the Guide to deletion before trying to do something about it. -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 02:07, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Istory
As you've been told before, you don't own this article, and it would be best if you work with other editors to bring the quality of this page up. Please read through some of wikipedia's policies and guidelines, as well, as they will help show you how articles such as this may be improved. --InShaneee 06:19, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] IStory
Hi, you've got some POV issues calling a story "the best" etc, one needs a neuteral statement on there -- Tawker 06:30, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Jazzer3?
Hi. Just curious why you sign your comments with Jazzer3 instead of Jazzer2? Is Jazzer3 a real user or just a page you created? —Wknight94 (talk) 12:41, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] MFD
An Project Page you recently created Wikipedia:Istory has been moved to your user section as User talk:Jazzer2/Istory. The Wikipedia: name space is for project related contributions, not for encylopedic content. Please see Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Istory for information on it's removal.

[edit] iStory
Hi Jazzer, just some friendly notes, since you're new. I understand that you're probably not yet familiar with all of our guidelines here at Wikipedia. Article talk pages are for discussing the improvement of the article, not for discussing the actual subject. (See Wikipedia:Talk pages) Also, if you notice different editors making the same change to an article, you might want to consider letting that change stand. For example, you have repeatedly put "==Introduction==" in front of the lead section, but lead sections at Wikipedia do not have subject headers, which is why this has been removed several times. (See Wikipedia:Lead section) By the way, are you the same user as Jazzer3? Pagrashtak 20:47, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
- Jazzer, you mentioned in the iStory AfD that you "don't know how to send messages" to users. Regular inter-user communication is done through user talk pages like this one. Just press the "+" tab at the top of a user's page, and you'll get an edit window that you can write a message in. There will be a "Subject/headline" box that you can use to add a headline for a new topic. (More information about using talk pages can be found at the link Pagrashtak gave above.) A more private way to communicate with another user is to click on the "E-mail this user" link in the Toolbox in the left margin of a user page. However, not everyone registers their email address with Wikipedia. Hope this helps. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 00:00, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Moving pages
In the future, to correct the title of a page you need to move the existing page to the correct title, not just create a duplicate page. When creating a duplicate page you can't transfer the edit history. Unfortunately, now that a page exists at the correct title, you can't move the page there. See Help:Moving a page.
