In response to a couple of questions on Gruenberg's talk page, I will answer, because I can and I saw them. DOS means "delete on sight"; it's a status you get when you've completely worn out your welcome on NationStates; any nation you have will be deleted, etc. If you want to sign your name easily on a talk page, simply type four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) and it will automatically print it. If you want, you can go to [[Special:Preferences]] and change the way it looks. Thanks!

Correct. You can have many nations on one computer, provided only one of them is a UN member. One UN membership per computer is the rule. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; text-align: justify;">'''[[Special:Emailuser/Jey|<sub><sub><big><font color="#CCCC00">°</font></big></sub></sub><sup>]][[Jey|<font color="blue">J</font>]]</sup>[[User:Jey|<font color="#0099FF">e</font>]]<sub>[[User_talk:Jey|<font color="green">y</font>]]</sub>[[Special:Contributions/Jey|<font color="red"><sup><big>°</big></sup></font>]]'''</span> 00:26, 2 November 2007 (GMT)

I apologise for the delay. I thought your comment was something else... blind as a bat, apparently. Anyway, to get coloured signatures, go to your preferences (link at the top right). It should, by default, go to the User data panel. It's the first link on the left and if it's selected, there will be a box around it. Then, go to the right where it says "nickname", and use

Then click the checkbox "Raw signatures, without auto link", so your signature doesn't duplicate by accident. And test it out in the sandbox so that you can fine-tune it before you get one you like.

I really think you should stop creating articles for nations that you do not own. Although you may think you are contributing to the wiki by doing this, it has generally been agreed upon that creating articles that contain noting more than text from other websites (which is esentially what you are doing) is not a real contribution, and is discouraged. You're wasting server space on stuff that can just as easily be found on nationstates.net. Please stop. --'''[[Swilatia|<font color="red">sw</font>]][[User:Swilatia|<font color="green">il</font>]][[User Talk: Swilatia|<font color= "yellow">at</font>]][[Special:Contributions/Swilatia|<font color="blue">ia</font>]]''' 00:53, 6 November 2007 (GMT)

Articles for new nations

I really think you should stop creating articles for nations that you do not own. Although you may think you are contributing to the wiki by doing this, it has generally been agreed upon that creating articles that contain noting more than text from other websites (which is esentially what you are doing) is not a real contribution, and is discouraged. You're wasting server space on stuff that can just as easily be found on nationstates.net. Please stop. --swilatia 00:53, 6 November 2007 (GMT)
