User talk:Ethnopunk/Alternative South Africa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article seriously lacks reason for existence. Everything that is said here is either just babbling, or could be added to other articles. dewet|™ 15:20, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

I think that (as before) it is a POV fork. I am speedying it. Wizzy…☎ 15:55, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] This is a Social Sciences/ Popular Culture Topic

Will the computer programmers who think they own the world, please refrain from editing or deleting Social Science topics on Wikipedia. Thanks, but I don't subscrive to the "my computer is my point of view" bull. —This unsigned comment was added by Ethnopunk (talk • contribs) 14:55, 21 March 2006.

My only response to this is to go read up on Wikipedia's civility guidelines before interacting with others on Wikipedia. Ad hominem attacks will not help you one bit here. dewet|™ 13:31, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Don't push me -- South Africa is an abnormal society where the civility that you're referring to doesn't exactly exist. Besides, who are you to interpret what is meant by Wikipedia's civility guidelines? Like I said before, please refrain from deleting a page simply because it has a feminist or queer biase.

A badly-spelled, single line article with no content ? Is that what you mean by queer ? Wizzy…☎ 11:44, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

How do I restore the work that needs to be completed online, at my expense, because I don't own a computer at home? —This unsigned comment was added by Ethnopunk (talk • contribs) 14:55, 21 March 2006.

If you are in the process of creating a serious article, you can use a personal sandbox under your User page. Try something like User:Ethnopunk/Alternative South Africa. There you can finish the article in peace and quiet, and then start a proper article when you feel it is done. However, once you put it back in the encyclopedia, it will be up for challenge as any other article is, if the content is not encyclopaedic, not verifiable or original research. I strongly suggest you read the preceding three links; What Wikipedia is not may also be useful. dewet|™ 13:31, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Please don't lecture me on being serious. Its bad etiquette and yes, I do intend writing up a serious article, that you are free to attack, once you have something constructive to say about the topic.
