[edit] Welcome!

Hi, Major.T, Welcome to Wikipedia!


[edit]

Here are some tasks you can do:

I hope you like this place--I sure do--and want to stay. If you need help on how to title new articles check out Wikipedia:Naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and The FAQ , plus if you can't find your answer there, check The Village pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or The Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on My User talk Page.

Additional Tips:

Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!

  • If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in assigning those to your username.
  • If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes, like &#126&#126~. 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.

[edit] Warcraft categories

Hiya Major.T, I've just readded category:Warcraft to a few articles you removed it from. This is because the article you removed it from is the "key" article in a category, e.g. there is a category "races in Warcraft" and an article "races in Warcraft". The article should be in both the category "races in Warcraft" and "Warcraft". Cheers, Talrias (t | e | c) 21:10, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Whoa, watch out! You replied on my user page rather than my talk page. :) No harm done. :) Cheers for fixing it. :) Talrias (t | e | c) 21:15, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Yep :) I know, I reverted your user page as soon as I realized this. Sorry--Major.T 21:18, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
If I said that I had never done something like that I would be lying! Cheers for doing the Warcraft stuff too, it badly needs cleanup. Talrias (t | e | c) 21:20, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Category cleanup is one of my new hobbies.--Major.T 21:22, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Advice for creating categories, since you're doing lots of it: just add the articles to the category (e.g. just stick [[Category:something]] at the bottom of the article). Talrias (t | e | c) 21:35, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for the tip. I just realized categories can't be moves, so I put Category:Warcraft Items up for speedy deletion and just created Category:Warcraft items. I think World of Warcraft should also have similar sub-categories but there aren't any articles for them that I know of, yet.--Major.T 21:38, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Leaving categories as redlinks if you haven't got a description of them is far preferable to creating a blank page, by the way. Also, be wary of over-categorisation; a category with just a few articles within it is probably not that helpful. Cheers, Talrias (t | e | c) 21:46, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I agree but I predict that eventually these categories will fill up because of the nature and popularity of World of Warcraft. However, I doubt Wikipedia wants to be a catalog for these games.--Major.T 21:51, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
No, in fact I recently had a discussion with someone who started creating articles on invidual spells in Warcraft III. Wikibooks is a more appropriate place for strategy guides. Talrias (t | e | c) 22:02, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Perhaps most of these articles should be moved to Wikibooks and deleted from Wikipedia. That would be my suggestion, but I have never used Wikibooks.--Major.T 00:04, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Garry's Mod

Uhm yea.....I'm going to have to go ahead and disagree with your descision about the peacock term in Garry's Mod. While I agree stating "this is the best" or "was important" is a peacock term, I do not, however, believe "one of the most well known" is. Plus, the way you left the article, the first sentence seems awkward and short. Perhaps if there were some statistics on how many times its been downloaded, or usership this could be rectified, but....well, maybe you're correct, I just don't know. Sorry for wasting your time, mysekurity 9 July 2005 02:25 (UTC)

[edit] References

Hi Ryan, thanks for the references on the Unknown Worlds Entertainment article! --Major.T 19:55, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

It was my pleasure. I'm a fan of the group, and can't wait to see what they produce next.--Ryan! 19:49, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Charlie Cleveland

A tag has been placed on Charlie Cleveland, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable. If you can indicate why Charlie Cleveland is really notable, you can contest the tagging. To do this, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and leave a note on Talk:Charlie Cleveland, explaining how Charlie Cleveland is notable. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

Please read the criteria for speedy deletion (specifically, article #7) and our general biography criteria. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. (aeropagitica) 05:14, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
