[edit] Helpme

I want to make an article on Gary McSheffery how do I go about this??

First of all, you should make sure that he is Verifiable and that your article falls under all the core policies listed. You might want to check out Wikipedia:Starting a new page for some tips on starting your article, but I would strongly suggest checking that the article fits all the criteria before beginning to prevent it from being deleted right away. —Keakealani 09:05, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Could you check then if my article is good or not?? I've mentioned Coventry in the article but it won't link to the Coventry page help!

Use Wikipedia:Requests for feedback to get feedback on your article. To link to an article, use two square brackets on either side of the word, e.g. [[Coventry]]. Check out the links in the "welcome" message above to get a basic grip on Wikipedia principles. Cheers, Tangotango 09:59, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Regarding your edit on User:Jammy simpson: Wikipedia:No Personal Attacks or similar vandalism.

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits are considered vandalism. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the work of others. Thank you. Hu 11:37, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

It can hardly be considerd as an attack for god sake!! Also I'm hardly a noob am I? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nathan Hoey (talk • contribs) 13:12, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Calling someone a "complete nand utter moron" ([sic]) is most certainly a personal attack. Please refrain from personal attacks of other users, or you may be blocked from further edits in accordance with Wikipedia policies. Justin Eiler 14:14, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Justin Eiler you obviously have no sense if you belive an attack is something that happens on the internet. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nathan Hoey (talk • contribs) 14:30, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Personal attacks (verbal/textual insults) may happen in any communications medium. They are defined by Wikipedia policy, and as you agreed to that policy you agreed to that definition while using Wikipedia. You may wish to review the examples of personal attacks given on the policy page. If you no longer agree with that definition, or no longer agree to refrain from making personal attacks, you are certainly welcome to stop using Wikipedia. Justin Eiler 14:46, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Was that a threat? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nathan Hoey (talk • contribs) 14:48, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Absolutely not. Threats are also a form of personal attack. However, as part of your agreement to use Wikipedia, uyou agreed to not make personal attacks. If you continue to use Wikipedia while refusing to abide by the terms of service, you can be blocked or banned from making further edits.

Additionally, "you are certainly welcome to stop using Wikipedia" means that you have the choice to stop using Wikipedia voluntarily. Justin Eiler 15:01, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Repititon! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nathan Hoey (talk • contribs) 15:34, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Let me see, ... user has only ten edits on articles, the most recent two of which are less than 24 hours old and consist of a botched edit which the user attempts to fix by making a large deletion, ... user makes personal attacks and still doesn't know enough to sign comments, ... obviously hasn't bothered to read the welcome material or even the top of this page, ... Yup, user is a "noob". My advice, start reading and learn how to be civil within the Wikipedia system to get along and be productive. The system has evolved for a long time with many people and been hammered into shape by much trial and error, so don't think you can ignore it or that your way is automatically better. Use it or lose it. Hu 15:50, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Sure I knew how to sign but I was just not botherd about it to be honest! Nathan Hoey 17:05, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding the Adam Tann page

Hello again Nathan. Every page on Wikipedia has a link (usually at the top) called "History," and clicking on that link will show you the history of who worked on a particular page. For the page in question (Adam Tann), it looks like User:Bobo192 did the major reworking of the article. HTH Justin Eiler 21:19, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi guest (Leyton Orient fan) having looked at the article it looks as if Hu has done most of it!

[edit] Inactive

I'm fed up of Wikipedian's moaning constantly the behaviour of certain users on here appauls me but you don't do anything. No, you think you can pick on the new guys. I bet you have betting contest on who can wind up the newbie first. Well I've had enough I won't be using my account again.
