  • Speedy delete code = {{deletebecause|reason}}
  • Proposed Deletion = {{subst:Prod|REASON}}
  • {{ category redirect|New Category Name}} this should be used rarely but comes in handy if you ever HAVE to redirect a category.
  • the following code is good for locking down a picture within a table Notice the | - adds a line break

{| class="wikitable" |[[Image:Richmond-Petersburg TIGER MAP.gif|thumb|left|500px|Caption]]

[edit] Orphaned Content

I am really sad that editors feel the need to delete content such as this. We need to figure out where to put rapidly emerging WP:RECENT information on the zeitgeist.

[edit] wiki-Policy

I have been around wikipedia for a while and like to share knowledge about Wikipedia:policies and guidelines. I am a believer in using WP:TLA and I have mixed feelings about WP:WTF. I think asking questions at the Village pump... for policy is a good way to air your grievances and quandries, and I think WP:ESSAYs are a useful way to reach consensus on editing dilemmas of wikipedia where there is a systematic problem with no apparent solution. Some essays I have contributed to are:

[edit] Same sex marriage related materials

Ever since the United Church of Christ passed their controversial "Equal marriage rights" resolution, I have found myself sucked into editing articles related to the same sex marriage debate. Wikipedia's same sex marriage article seems to be pretty NPOV and I think other articles on this subject should live up to that standard. A lot of NPOV debates on wikipedia hinge on people not being able to acknowledge that, right or wrong, there is at least one alternate understanding of the world besides your own. I have heard people say that wikipedia doesn't allow POVs. My stance is always that of course wikipedia includes POVs as long as they are attributed to the people that hold them. I have friends on both sides of this particular issue. I lament the fact that the US culture is so divided that we can't respectfully disagree during conversations. l
