[edit] GRAW Wikia

Alright, I would be interested in joining, just point me in the right direction. Lawnmowers Rock! 13:29, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ultimate Fact

Hi there, I was still editing the article when you redirected it. I ended up having to save it and rescue my work. Slow down, please. Bearian 17:14, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

No problem. Bearian 17:17, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Katie Melua discography

I've moved the page back to Katie Melua discography. Looking at this Category:Discographies, no other discography uses capitalisation. --Hera1187 17:19, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Individual Baseball season articles

Hello Spartytime, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you were moving individual baseball season articles to capitalize the word "season"- for future reference, it is unnecessary and you shouldn't do it. Don't worry about going back to change it, I will fix that. Good luck contributing to Wikipedia, jj137 02:25, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, that was my first real editing spree on Wikipedia and I didn't know stuff like that didn't matter. Excuse my newbiness, please! =DSpartytimeTalkMy Wikia 13:20, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
Hey, don't worry about it. When I first started here, I really had no clue what was going on, and I didn't know it, but I was only making things worse! :o Don't worry, the more you stay on here the more you'll learn. :) jj137Talk 17:58, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
P.S. Cool signature!

Thanks for the welcome. To answer your question, I was thinking of Thor's hammer called Mjolnir in Norse mythology. To be honest, I've never even played Halo.--Mjolnir78 17:36, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Twinkle

I see you have marked some articles for speedy deletion! Can I reccoment Twinkle as it is a very usefull tool! I started using it yesterday, and like it very much :) Any questions, feel free to contact me on my talk page. Tiddly Tom 17:50, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm pretty much a quality manager on Wikipedia. =D Can you use Twinkle™ to delete obvious vandalism pages if no one else has edited it? Thanx,SpartytimeTalkMy Wikia 17:53, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Unless you are an admin, you canot dellete the page, but you can very quickly mark it for speedy deletion, it opens the users talk page, and allows you to very quickly tell them what you have done (useing the templates). Try it out! It's Great! Tiddly Tom 17:59, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Isn't that what I've been doing without Twinkle? I imported it a couple days ago, haven't really been able to use it, though.SpartytimeTalkMy Wikia 18:01, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

This is my point :) With Twinkle, all this can be done much quicker. Try it out :) Tiddly Tom 18:08, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] speedies

Please do not use speedy when it does not apply. Speedy a7 for notability is limited to the classes of articles listed in WP:CSD, and schools are not among them. In addition, A7 cannot be used if there are any indications in the article that the subject is notable--whether or not the notability seems sufficient. Uf you think something where notability is asserted is not notable enough, use WP:PROD if it is unlikely to be defended or WP:CSD if it is. If a school is "one of the top 50 Catholic schools in the US" as is apparently Bishop Grimes Junior/Senior High School, it is certainly an assertion of notability. It's probable enough to stand up at WP:AFD as well.

But your nominations for deletion are in general well-chosen. Do remember to warn the person using either the semi-automatic template or twinkie,-- I find them about equally rapid. DGG (talk) 18:55, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Here's how to do them-- PROD is easy-- see WP:PROD. Just put at the head of the article {{subst:prod|Reason}} where reason can be any good WP reason at all, there's no fixed list. keep it to a few words, & make sure it indicats what the article is about so those interested in the subject can spot it. . e.g. {{subst:prod|non-notable Alaska local politician, no references}} Then notify the author by copying the line specified from the expanded template that appears after you save. Now put the page on your watchlist. If the author -- or anyone-- takes it off, see if its improved. If not, send to afd. If it stays on for 5 days, it will be deleted after an admin reviews it. If the article will obviously be contested, though, there's no point doing this. But if it's just clearly inadequate, the author often lets it be deleted.
AFD is more complicated. See WP:AFD and read the instructions. Then practice on one. There are basically 4 steps: you put on the header copied from there. You list it on the current AfD page. You start the discussion. You notify significant editors. (and then you keep track on the discussion, of course) If you use Windows IE, there are programs to partially automate this--they are described on the AFD page. There may also be one for Firefox. There is one great virtue of AfD for junk--once it is deleted by AfD, any attempt to re-insert it can be speedy deleted as G4.

Best wishes for your work here.DGG (talk) 22:50, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
