[edit] Speedy delete

How can you say I am a non-existent user? I am here! Only created the account recently, will start editing soon. Three Musketeers 16:47, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

It's my userpage, I can put what I want on it. Wikipedia:User page says "Some people add information about themselves as well, possibly including contact information (email, instant messaging, etc), a photograph, their real name, their location, information about their areas of expertise and interest, likes and dislikes, homepages, and so forth. (If you are concerned with privacy, you may not want to and are by no means required to emulate this.)" which I have done. Three Musketeers 16:58, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
Mmmm, strange one. I thought long and hard about nominating a user page - for whatever reason. Yes, your right, I guess, people can do pretty much what they like to their own user page – I say ‘pretty much’, because there are, I’m sure, lots of things that you are not allowed to do – but what is in your page is definitely not one of those things.
I decided (very possibly wrongly) that your user page was a subtle/?artistic? form of vandalism (just because I nominated it for deletion, doesn’t mean I didn’t find it interesting – some New York subway graffiti is very impressive, but it’s still vandalism).
“How can you say I am a non-existent user?”
sigh - I know, what a reason to pick!
I only decided on that one whilst looking down the list of reasons. I was hoping there would be an “Other reason: please state your reason in the following box” type option at the bottom of the list, alas no. It seemed to me that you were not a ‘real’ user - in some sense of the word at least. You had, and still have (at the time of typing this (which is taking me ages - between guisers/trick-or-treaters at the door), made no other contributions to articles other than your user page – which isn’t an article).
I immediately rejected User:KieferSkunk’s preferred deletion reason of patent nonsense as I would argue that patent nonsense to be something a bit like ‘kakamoondy&%$())ndfmalfkd_ilovedish_fl9u49orlfljroo8y+(_**^bliblibli’ - I wonder if some bot will get upset by that and revert this edit. Your text is more akin to a page that might be found in Trainspotting or Last Exit to Brooklyn.
Anyway, looks like someone called Erica has decided what’s best. It’s somewhat disappointing that she neglects to explain her opinion, even though another administrator and I both made a delete nomination. Regards, Mannafredo 08:32, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for such a great response! One of the best I have read on here. I hope your 'trick-or-treaters at the door' didn't disrupt your Wikipedia edits too much! Thanks for the response, regards, Three Musketeers 10:17, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Blame ambiguity in speedy-delete criteria for my nomination. It looked like this user page was either blatant nonsense or a copy of another page, or something along those lines, and it was difficult to discern if there was any real content here. Keep in mind that User pages are about you as a Wikipedian, not a personal hosting service - that's why I nominated the page for delete. But that's as far as I was willing to go with it. — KieferSkunk (talk) — 14:43, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Yes, speedy-delete criteria could be better, and you make a very good point regarding Wikipedia not being a hosting service. However, lots of people have personal stuff on their user page, and it's not worth getting upset about. I'm with you in not wanting to go any further with this, and I hereby take back my nomination for deletion. It has raised some mildly interesting questions though - that's good. Regards to you both. Mannafredo 15:39, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
In general, the speedy-delete criteria really could use some work. I'm going to start raising some questions there. — KieferSkunk (talk) — 18:09, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome

Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

  • Respect intellectual property rights - do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
  • Maintain a neutral point of view when editing articles - this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
  • If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
  • Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such information or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, doing so will result your account being blocked from editing.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

[edit] Your User Page

Hi Three Musketeers! I note that your user page has already attracted attention. It's worth reading Wikipedia:User_page, particularly Wikipedia:User_page#What_to_do_if_you_find_someone_else.27s_user_page_being_used_inappropriately. Your contributions Special:Contributions/Three_Musketeers indicate that you haven't moved much beyond your user page as yet. I would encourage you to get involved with editing Wikipedia - be bold and make an edit to an article. Once you start you'll find it's quite easy. And don't worry about damaging Wiki - all edits can be undone, so if you make a mistake someone will soon put it right. I would also ask you to reflect on your User Page and consider that the main interaction you are getting from other Wiki users is in relation to a concern that you may be using Wikipedia inappropriately because of your User Page. You might consider putting something more helpful on that page, or simply blanking it to prevent getting any further negative attention. Regards SilkTork *What's YOUR point? 13:31, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
