[edit] Wikipedia is not a general knowledge base
Hello. I have read one comment you added on a vfd notice. And indeed it looks like we could put evrything on the WikiPedia. This is deceptive! Technically one can but... WP is an encyclopedia, and not everything is encyclopaedic. For example, I have a cat for the last 14 years. Well, this is all true and verifiable, but it is not encyclopaedic and therefore must not be the topic of an article. For example the square next to my house is named "Green Square". Well.. this all true and verifiable and could be known by some people, but still with no other notable aspects, it would be catastrophic to create an article with such a common name. It would be less bad but still very dumb to create "Green Square (my_city)" with such a no-content... content !
Take time to think about that aspect. We could actually name it vanity. Because I know something does not mean it's worth an article. I always wonder is there a general aspect to something before wondering whether to make an article.
I write all that, because ignorance of Wikipedia is not a general knowledge base leads to enormous amount of work for many people, can span across months of disputes and most important: add nothing to WP.
If I may suggest one thing, sail a good bit in Votes for deletion to get a feeling of the do's and don't. :-)
So, nice meaningful, encyclopaedic, notable, verifiable, edits to you ! :-)
WP is not a catch-all knowledge base.

[edit] Template:UK supermarkets
Nice one with the template, could you find a way of putting Lidl and the co-op on it as well, as both have a significant number of outlets?
[edit] Sainsbury's edit
When adding "has been criticised for being vague" or something similar you have to provide a reference. Otherwise it just sounds like you think its vague.
Also you changed "in an effort" to "in what is claimed to be an effort". You seem to be suggesting Sainsbury's had another motive? Why is so hard to believe a profit seeking organisation would like its customers to spend more money? Mark83 19:17, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
- I see what you mean, that it sounded like it was simply a philanthropic effort to improve the lives of their customers? Maybe something like "in an effort to make consumers venture into purchasing more varied products (and hence increase spending)." Mark83 19:30, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
- I don't agree. The problem is it IS your opinion. It's also very selective – you've selected one of the simplest ideas (and yes a well known one). If you want to put that in to be fair and accurate you would also have to put in that there are hundreds of recipe ideas, some of which are not commonplace. Mark83 19:42, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
