User talk:Tainted Drifter

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi, Tainted Drifter, Welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope you like this place — I sure do — and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the Five pillars of Wikipedia and simplified ruleset. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the 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 or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will be by to help you shortly.

[edit] Additional tips

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

If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Five will get you the datestamp only.
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.
If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.

Happy Wiki-ing. —Kf4bdy ^talk ^contribs

[edit] Big Pun

Your comment on the Big Pun article is more appropriate for the Talk:Big Pun. Please discuss there - help us find a way to verify the birthdate and the inclusion on the song/album - so it can be changed and the source cited - thx --Trödel 03:15, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "overrated, arrogant, cocky faggots"

Slightly surprised to see Kanye West in there. I think he's a good producer; listen to Jay-Z's Blueprint for examples.

[edit] Wu tang album

Iron flag - you got that goddamn right man its shite —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.129.27.134 (talk) 16:56, 13 January 2007 (UTC).

Hi, the recent edit you made to List of Legend Rappers has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks – Gurch 23:41, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] X-1

I deleted it per the pretty much unanimous result of this AfD. You're certainly welcome to recreate it (as I noticed you have), but unless you address some of the issues raised in that AfD I think it likely that it could be put up for AfD again. (Get some sources to establish notability and cite them). Daniel Case 00:54, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Uh, you're not supposed to add to closed AfD discussions, per the red text at the top. It was closed, over and done with, several months ago, and none of the participants are likely to read, much less respond, to what you said. That doesn't mean the article can't be recreated, as again you've done. I would concentrate my energies on writing an article that would pass WP:MUSIC ... see if you can prove he meets the criteria for notability laid out there.

The article was deleted because it didn't assert the subject's notability, and was not edited to do so during the AfD. I am sorry if you seem to have felt you weren't notified ... to avoid that in the future, consider placing articles on your watchlist via the "watch" tab up top and checking "my watchlist" regularly, if you don't already do this.

You might want to look at Aasim — another article about a rapper originally not only deleted several times but salted, but then restored by me and improved by an editor who knew how to demonstrate notability and write a good (albeit short) article. Daniel Case 14:57, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
