[edit] Sandboxes

Rather than using your userpage itself, you can create a user subpage to test edits on. An example of a common format is User:SimonHarvey/Sandbox. It's a great way of keeping your userpage simple, and making it easy to have a sandbox of your own. Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 09:29, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Headers

By headers, I assume you mean templates, such as {{advert}} (without the tl| bit in code, thats just a template example bit). You don't have to be well known - as long as you think the problem is fixed, just remove them. For the {{prod}} tag, remove it as long as you think you have fixed the problems. The original person who nominated the article may want to take it to AFD, but it seems in that case you have fixed the problem. You can read up on how they work at WP:PROD. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask :-) Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 20:52, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Also, I noticed you edit a few articles relating to new zealand - I assume you either live their and/or are interested in it. If so, I would suggest you check out WikiProject New Zealand, which is a great central location for such things. WikiProjects are great for that.

[edit] Welcome

Welcome Simon. I noticed you edited the Addicton Foods (pet food) article. Good job. I had a devil of a time convincing adms not to delete the article. It is a unique food and no company I've found has kangaroo or brushy tail possum... and I'm sort of an expert in dry dog foods. Again welcome. Noles1984 16:32, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Simon, wouldn't you agree that with the products listed as they are make it look like an advertisement? I think the products are not that important unless they have something to do with the unique ingredients. Not every one of Addiction's products are using kangaroo or brushtail possum. I was opposed to having every single product they produce in the article. That then makes it an ad or a target for search engines to look for specific products. I created a sand box article: User:Noles1984/Sandbox/Addiction Foods (New Zealand company) which can replace the somewhat strange article that someone edited into a magazine article. Your opinion?

[edit] Plasma propulsion engine

I removed your CSD-contesting tag from this article... it was never nominated for deletion. ~Eliz81(C) 10:08, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
