[edit] Additional tips
Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!
- I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Though we all make goofy mistakes, here is what Wikipedia is not. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to see the help pages or add a question to the village pump. The Community Portal can also be very useful.
- If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
- You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
- You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
- If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
- If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
- If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.
- P.S. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you need help with anything or simply wish to say hello. :)
[edit] Happy Wiki-ing.
[edit] CONSISTENCY IN WIKI POLICIES
WRITTEN BY ADMIN. GRAEMEL:
"...As to claims of notability. If she writes regularly for a national newspaper, or has received a major journalism award (even one from a third world countries journalism comunity), that would count as notability. The fact that she is from a third world country has nothing to do with notability, something that makes her stand out from most of the other journalists is the same country would be enough. Nobel prizes are not required to be notable. Hope this helps..." --GraemeL (talk) 18:46, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Dutch Wikipedia article
OK, I saw your link to the Dutch article nl:Bea Vianen. Rather than post your stub back again, the best way to deal with it is to either translate the page to English yourself and post it here, or copy the text from the Dutch article and submit a request for translation here. If you go through requesting a translation, the article will be deleted if nobody is willing to translate it after two weeks. If you translate it yourself, the article probably already includes enough information to pass notability criteria, so you would avoid having it speedy deleted again. Hope this helps. --GraemeL (talk) 19:51, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
- Ah, it 'is' a different person on closer inspection. Sorry, I don't read dutch :(. If you do speak Dutch and the other articles that you're thinking of posting already exist on the Dutch Wikipedia, you might want to try posting translations of them here instead of writing them again. I'm going to go eat now, but I'll search for some links on notability for you when I get back. --GraemeL (talk) 20:02, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
I see you created Bea(trice) Vianen with only a link to the Dutch article. Unfortunatly, articles that only contain a single external link are also likely to be deleted. If you want to work on a translation of the Dutch article, that would be fine, but just linking to it is not really an option. Also, adding the protection template to an article does not protect it, you need to be an admin to protect a page. Feel free to leave me more questions and I'll respond later. --GraemeL (talk) 20:06, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Signa Vianen
Wees gerust, Amsterdam. Er is geen enkel probleem met een artikel over Signa Vianen. Waar het om gaat is dat uit het artikel al duidelijk moet worden waarom zij belangrijk genoeg is om op wikipedia genoemd te worden. Een link naar de site van De Ware Tijd is vaak niet voldoende, omdat weinig mensen die krant kennen (zeker niet-Nederlandstaligen) en omdat niet-Nederlandstaligen vaak niet zullen begrijpen wat er op de link staat. Het artikel Signa Vianen geeft aan wie Signa Vianen is, waar ze vandaan komt, wat ze doet en wat daar zo belangrijk aan is dat ze een artikel op wikipedia verdient. Als je informatie over haar hebt die nog niet genoemd is maar wel van belang is, voeg dat dan gerust toe. Als je vragen of problemen of suggesties of wat dan ook hebt, kun je gerust een berichtje bij me achterlaten. En je hebt gelijk: ze was al eerder dan 2004 in dienst bij De Ware Tijd. Fijne kerstdagen :) Aecis Mr. Mojo risin' 21:41, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
- Ambtelijk taalgebruik is op wikipedia niet nodig hoor, net als zulke uitgebreide verontschuldigingen :) Er zijn een paar richtlijnen (guidelines) waar een artikel aan moet voldoen. Ik leer zelf nog iedere dag bij, en ik sta met meer dan 11.000 edits (is daar geen Nederlands woord voor?) inmiddels in de top van wikipedia. Wat ik voor jullie (uit het woordje "we" leid ik af dat er meerdere mensen gebruik maken van deze account) zou kunnen betekenen, is dat jullie de teksten over Cynthia Mcleod-Ferrier, Bea Vianen en Erna Aviankoi op mijn talk page plaatsen, en dat ik ze (mocht dat nodig zijn) zodanig bewerk dat ze niet nog een keer verwijderd worden. Ik (zelf een journalist) krijg namelijk meer en meer het gevoel dat deze mensen belangrijk genoeg zijn voor wikipedia. Mocht iemand de artikelen dan toch verwijderen, dan zal ik hoogstpersoonlijk contact opnemen met Deletion Review. Hoe klinkt dit? Aecis Mr. Mojo risin' 22:35, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
