[edit] WP Policy
Hi Sam -- first of all, thanks for creating the Miss Universe 2004 page, in which you made a good start. However both in this page and others you have edited recently, I note that you appear to lack a basic information of wikipedia's policy. Furthermore, I would suggest that before creating or editing articles, you look at previous articles to check that your edits will adhere to the styles of the previous articles (e.g. Miss Universe 2006, Miss Universe 2005. As well, make sure your edits conform to an encyclopaedic tone, unlike your edit to Amanda Gilman. Finally, make sure you check the spelling of names etc, like the Megan Ellis article you created (whose name is correctly spelt Magen Ellis). Finally, blanking your talk page is considered a bad move and I will be watching to make sure this no longer happens. Other Wikipedians should be able to see all comments, the good and the bad. I'm sure if you just take a couple of minutes out to have a look at policy and at other articles, your contributions will improve substantially :) I note you are a member of our WikiProject Beauty Pageants so I might suggest the first place to look is some of the general tips we have established there. Good luck and happy editing! -- PageantUpdater • talk | contribs | esperanza 01:38, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Pageant Almanac
Hi Sam -- just a heads up that I got all my info from the Pagenat Almanac Website. Its full of stats, including the correct placements at Miss U (not exactly sure how they came by those but I assume its legitimate). Just one handy hint... when you leave a message on a talk page (including your own), you need to sign off with four tildes (eg. ~~~~). This will "stamp" your message with your name and the date so it's easy for people to reply to you. Happy editing! -- PageantUpdater • talk | contribs | esperanza 23:38, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Vandalism
Please post warnings on user talk pages, not on articles as you did with Ryan Seacrest. If a vandal continues to be a problem and vandalizes after receiving a final warning, report on the WP:AIV. Thank you. Michael 03:40, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Ina Lu
Please do not redirect the Ina Lu article to Ina Lui. As it clearly shows in her official profile for the Miss Chinese International Pageant 2006 shown here, her last name is LU, not LUI. Please remember to source your information before making such a radical change on an article in the future. Thank you. smileydude66 04:32, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
I'm sorry to disagree with you on this, but the information I go by is from the official source, TVB. They are the official organizers of the pageant and if they have the last name as LU on the official website, I feel that should be used on Wikipedia. And since you are quoting "misshkbeauties.com" as your source, please look back at the year 2005 for MCI. You will notice that Ina's last name is ALSO listed as LU, not LUI. As for the other sources, it may be that they are literally translating the names to cantonese pronounciations. Ina is of Mandarin descent, and LUI is the Cantonese version of the last name. smileydude66 04:14, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
PS: Please remember to sign your name by placing four tildes "~" at the end of your message on talkpages. Thanks!
[edit] AfD nomination of Gabriel Garro
An editor has nominated Gabriel Garro, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gabriel Garro and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it.
