User talk:Robheydon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hello, Robheydon, and welcome to Wikipedia. There are a lot of policies you might be unaware of, so I'll point out the ones that are most relevant (to your recent Rob Heydon article). (I"m assuming you are Rob Heydon, only half of this applies if you are not, and if you aren't let me know so I can remove the template from Talk:Rob Heydon.)
First: Wikipedia:Autobiography. Autobiography is strongly discouraged on Wikipedia. You might know more about yourself than anyone else, but you can't be expected to adhere to the neutral point of view policy.
Second: Wikipedia:Copyrights. Much of the header material at Rob Heydon appears to be copied from the IMDB here. This is illegal (not just against policy) and will need to be remedied. I have copied the "okay" content to a temporary subpage of that article, the main article will need to be deleted and replace with the temp version. (Please make any further edits to the temporary version.)
Other than those cautions, I offer you my welcome below:

[edit] Welcome
Hello, Robheydon, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thanks for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Newcomers help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
- How to edit a page, and the Editing tutorial, for basic editing info
- Picture tutorial - How to stick images into articles. Note that you can't hyperlink to images hosted elsewhere, you'll have to upload a copy to Wikipedia.
- Naming conventions - "How should I name my new article? Why can't I start it with a lowercase letter?"
- Manual of Style - this covers those details like "Is it okay to change from British to American spellings?"
- The Five Pillars of Wikipedia - this covers the ground rules like don't pick fights with people.
Two other details: First, you can sign your posts on discussion (non-article) pages by typing ~~~~. This produces a signature letting everyone else know who wrote the comment. Also, you should take note of the edit summary box that appears below the editing area: you can put a short description of your changes there. You may want to mark it as a minor edit if it's something like fixing a typo. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump, or ask me on my talk page. Happy editing! -- stillnotelf is invisible 00:45, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Adding links to Ecstasy film
Thanks for your recent contributions. I have a couple of issues with what you have added; the original book wasn't a novel, nor was it a best-seller. Can you please tidy up? Thanks. --Guinnog 14:23, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- Do you have a source for the info you have added to Ecstasy (2007 film)? --Guinnog 14:26, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] AfD nomination of Ecstasy (2008 film)
An editor has nominated Ecstasy (2008 film), an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ecstasy (2008 film) and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 00:59, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
