Talk down here, thank you. Please make each new topic a heading.

[edit] The Biography Epidemic

  • Hey! It's cool. Epheterson 06:41, 7 Dec 2003 (UTC)
  • I see you've recreated your personal entry. Please don't put back pages that have been deleted after a community decision. If it was deleted once, it will certainly be deleted again, with a cost in time and energy for those involved. You seem to be good at page formatting and layout (much better than I am) so we could really use your help with other articles. There's plenty of work to be done. Isomorphic 05:56, 9 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Well, if you want a place to start, you can go try one of the WikiProjects. A lot of them are concerned with standardizing the format of certain types of pages (for example, WikiProject:Countries is standardizing the format for the country page for every country in the world. If you join a WikiProject, though, remember that it's a collaboration. Talk to one of the people on the Project, and ask what you can do to help.
    • Or, if a WikiProject isn't what you had in mind, look at the Recent Changes page to see what people are working on, and pitch in.
    • Or, you could take a look at the pages linked from my User page. I know Star Wars Customizable Card Game could probably use headers and formatting; I created it when I first got here, so my wiki skills were low. Isomorphic 06:32, 10 Dec 2003 (UTC)


[edit] The Weather in London

  • It's good to know that the weather in London is fine. I don't think there's grounds for devoting that idea to an entire article -- do you? Dysprosia 05:50, 7 Dec 2003 (UTC)
  • Umm.. whats the problem? The weather in london IS fine. Epheterson 06:42, 7 Dec 2003 (UTC)
  • The problem is that the Wikipedia is not a weather service. Appropriate content would be something about overall seasonal variations in weather in London, something encyclopedia worthy. Would you expect to see "The weather in London is fine" in the Encyclopedia Britannica? Dysprosia 06:56, 7 Dec 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Votes for Deletion

  • Please read the guidelines for this page -- one vote per user per entry is the rule. Thanks. --Mirv 06:54, 7 Dec 2003 (UTC)


  • Hey there! Welcome to wikipedia. Just wanted to let you know that you should only mark things as "Minor Edit" when it's a *very* small change, like correcting spelling, or fixing a broken wiki link. Don't flag minor edit when you add a comment, or when you add or delete text. See Wikipedia:How to edit a page for details. Happy editing! Isomorphic 03:36, 8 Dec 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Mazda4.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Mazda4.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 23:31, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
