From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Welcome

Hello, Timo, welcome to Wikipedia.

[edit]

Here are some tasks you can do:

You might find these links helpful in creating new pages or helping with the above tasks: How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Naming conventions, Manual of Style. You should read our policies at some point too.

If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

  • You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
  • 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.

Again, welcome! —Hoary 14:55, 2005 Jan 8 (UTC)

[edit] Keeping to the point in Vfd pages

On the Vfd page for Timo Noko, you write:

The Point. May I point out that the very moment I started planning this entry some corporate rat started to vote it out. I really am not no-body. Very nasty legal action and revealing TV-show about hiring practises of The Company is pending. It is not all about me, two of the long-standing chair-members have resigned right after reporters started asking questions couple of months ago. I am of course on a personal vendetta and may not be available, when everybody asks "Why?". This is why I would prefer this self-made encyclopedia entry.

I don't fully understand this: e.g. I've no idea of who you mean by "The Company", or who's planning nasty legal action against whom. (And I'm not much interested.) But you seem to make two points:

  1. You want the article for your own benefit
  2. You wrote the article.

To which my comments are:

  1. This is largely irrelevant to the question, which is whether people as a whole want it for Wikipedia's benefit. (It is relevant in that it implies that the article is a vanity production, making deletion more appropriate.)
  2. Ah, it's a vanity production. This makes deletion more appropriate.

Again (and for the last time), if you want to complain about Wikipedia or any aspect of it, comment on "corporate rats", "nazi rats", etc. etc., please do not do so in a Vfd page.

I hope that this is now clear, and look forward to your contributions to other, entirely unrelated articles. -- Hoary 04:10, 2005 Jan 9 (UTC)

  • Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia, and is not owned by any big Corporation. Also, please read through What Wikipedia is Not and understand why your article was listed on VfD. We have no intention to be nasty, in fact we encourage Civility in Wikipedia. If you like to have a page about yourself on Wikipedia, your user page is the best and most suitable location for it. Have a good day, don't be discouraged! Be Bold! I hope to see you contribute on other articles. - Mailer Diablo 12:16, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)
