From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Varus Online may not be sufficiently well-known to merit articles of their own. The Wikipedia community welcomes newcomers, and encourages them to become Wikipedians. On Wikipedia, each user is entitled to a user page in which they can describe themselves, and this article's content may be incorporated into that page. However, to merit inclusion in the encyclopedia proper, a subject must be notable. We encourage you to write or improve articles on notable subjects. -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 00:22, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Are there any other secret rules that aren't linked to from anywhere in the newbie guide or other guides with links in the edit form?

Eh, doubtful anybody would respond to this, anyway. Comment by User:Lady Serena


I see what you mean about the userlist. O_o... I'm a Gaia member myself, and I've seen some stupidity during my time, but...dayum. That's just...bleh. Lady BlahDeBlah 23:08, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome and Comments on Rules

The rules are not secret, Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines has them all, and is linked to from the Help link on the left side of the page. There's also a list of common mistakes which you might want to check out. (One of which is blanking your user talk page, just so you know.) A condensed version of the rules is the Simplified Ruleset, and there also exists a list of bad article ideas. There are various guidelines for determining whether or not an article is notable - these are not hard-and-fast rules, and vary by subject matter, but do serve as a useful rule of thumb. Are you expected to have all these memorized whenever you do the tiniest edit? No, and I'm sure very few of the rest of us do either. However, most established Wikipedians are aware of them, will correct your edits as necessary to comply with them, and generally expect you to at least know that they exist.

I encourage you to continue to contribute to wikipedia, and hope that you will find other subjects to contribute about. If you have any further questions on this, feel free to leave a note on my talk page or ask at the Village pump - because unless I or someone else chances by here, comments you leave on your own talk page for others may or may not be seen, especially if you've limited yourself to editing very few articles. Also, please remember to place four tildes (~~~~) after every comment you make on a Talk or User Talk page - that way others can see who left the remark. Thanks once again for becoming a wikipedian! -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 21:38, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:VarusOnlineMiniLogo.gif licensing

You might want to consider the use of {{CopyrightedFreeUseProvidedThat}} on Image:VarusOnlineMiniLogo.gif. I think it better fits the purposes you ahve in mind there. Welcome to wikipedia. DES (talk) 16:58, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

It is done. (Lady Serena 02:21, 2 February 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Wikipedia Violation

Are you sure admins are able to just delete a page without allowing it to be listed on the AfD or CFD pages for its minimum waiting period? Also, can I get a copy of the wiki markup for the Varus Online article prior to its deletion today? (Lady Serena 22:51, 1 February 2006 (UTC))

It was already listed on AfD for its minimum waiting period — see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Varus Online. I'll be happy to give you a copy of the wiki markup if you promise not to repost it. —Cleared as filed. 22:53, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
I didn't repost it. You also ignored the fact that there was an open discussion on the reposted article, and you ignored it. Please follow the rules concerning content within a discussion period in the future. (Lady Serena 22:59, 1 February 2006 (UTC))
The AfD for the article already took place, and the article that was reposted was an identical repost. That's clearly one of the criteria for speedy deletion. People can't just repost articles that are properly deleted within process and demand a new discussion. Everyone thinks their web site is notable — Wikipedia has to set some limits. If you can point out a rule that I've broken, I'd be happy to re-examine my actions. —Cleared as filed. 23:03, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
If anything, the Varus Online article will definitely be reposted on Varus Online's WikiVarus, which is under development as part of the Alpha 2 package. Yes, WikiVarus uses MediaWiki code. As for reposting it on Wikipedia, I'm waiting for it to clear the notability guidelines, which seems to have vanished (the 3-point list that included a 5,000 member minimum for forums). Maki's early repost of it kind of shocked me, I wasn't expecting that. (Lady Serena 23:27, 1 February 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Userbox ideas

Can you please move your request to the correct place, or it will be reomved and not completed. The page clearly states where to put new ideas - and it isnt at the bottom of the page in its own section! - • | Đܧ§§Ť | • T | C 15:48, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Thank You! I can now be even more evil!

Of course. :) WP:PROXY will have a pretty good wealth of information. I suppose that, with the exception of a goodly number of fair use images, all content you see on Wikipedia is licensed under the GFDL, and is free for reuse and redistribution (though there are some caveats to doing so, see Wikipedia:Reusing Wikipedia content).

Hello! I noticed that your userpage mentions that you are interested in LGBT issues. Would you be interested in joining WikiProject LGBT studies? The WikiProject's been a bit inactive recently and some of us are trying to get it going again. We'd love to have you on board! Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 21:12, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
