Welcome

Hey, Jey! Welcome to NSwiki. When you get a chance, tell us a bit about yourself on your User page.

You can sign your name on talk pages by using " ~~~ " for your username and " ~~~~ " for your username and a timestamp.

Some useful pages that you might want to look over:

• NSwiki:Welcome is a good place to start.
• NSwiki:Page editing gives editing help.
• NSwiki:Policy tell about the principles NSwiki operates on.
• NSwiki:Help covers a broad range of useful topics.
• NSwiki:Village pump is a place to ask questions.
• NSwiki:What to contribute gives ideas on how to get involved.

To double-check your edits before saving, please press the "Show preview" button before saving the page, as edits are visible immediately.

Feel free to drop me a question on my talk page - I'll answer as best I can if I'm around, or refer you to somebody who can answer better.

Happy editing! --Goobergunch|? 22:21, 2 October 2005 (GMT)

Resolutions

Thanks for your work on the UN Timeline. However, please don't make any more new pages for old resolutions, as you did with Sexual Freedom, for example. Those pages were all deleted from NSwiki after a community decision not to keep c+p material. Until we have added material to the resolutions which do have pages, we don't want to add in any old ones. Gruen2alk 15:21, 28 December 2005 (GMT)

Probably best not to make pages with nothing but an organizational structure, either, like Repeal "Gay Rights". Wait until someone has some history to provide. → Ceo \ squawk 04:46, 11 January 2006 (GMT)

Large number of edits to Jey

I was just wondering about your large number of edits to Jey. Might be better to consolidate them all into just a few edits, so as to avoid wasting database space. Unless there was a reason for doing it that way? → Ceo \ squawk 04:17, 31 January 2006 (GMT)

Welcomes

It's great that you're welcoming people, but, even if both their user and user talk pages are red links, check their contributions. Don't bother if they're already regular contributers: it can even feel patronizing to them. See User talk:Rolatia. → Ceo \ squawk 22:25, 13 February 2006 (GMT)

Please do not replace NSwiki pages with blank content. Blank pages are harmful to NSwiki because they have a tendency to confuse users. If it is a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If the page has been vandalised, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please edit the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. Thanks for contributing to NSwiki!

I have deleted Treaty of Calixan; you can recreate the article and add substance should you wish. Gruen2alk 01:05, 21 February 2006 (GMT)

Re:Max questions errors

I'm not Goobergunch, but I saw your question and would like to point you to NSwiki:To Do. It's a known problem that has to do with Goober's server, and we all get it, unfortunately. –|–– Ceo \ rant 16:28, 21 February 2006 (GMT)

URLs

I notice you have been including the cgi bin stuff when adding new links to the UN timelie. The cgi-bin stuff has been removed from nationstates URLs, and there is no need for it --Swilatia (Not Swilly!!) 16:14, 23 February 2006 (GMT)

Welcomes

Thanks for welcoming so many people. However, before you welcome them, take a look at Special:Contributions/USERNAME to see how many edits they have. Not everyone with red user and user talk links is a newbie. –|–– Ceo \ rant 01:46, 10 March 2006 (GMT)

Meh, that's fine, but if they've created a whole bunch of templates or have already contributed a bunch, might want to hold off. Just a suggestion to avoid annoying comments. –|–– Ceo \ rant 22:26, 10 March 2006 (GMT)

Re:vandalism

Nope. It's a wiki, which means everyone is allowed to edit (with the exception of protected pages). On Wikipedia, they have semi-protected pages, which only established registered users are allowed to edit, but we don't have that. If the problem continues, we'll go up through the test templates, and it it is remotely possible that it could end up in a 24-hour block or something. Ceo \ rant \ rave 22:07, 25 April 2006 (GMT)

Gah. I just tested it on my own IP, and it prevented me from editing even when logged in. So blocking that IP seems to be unreasonable, except perhaps for very short periods. Is it possible for you to get your friends to stop? Ceo \ rant \ rave 00:43, 27 April 2006 (GMT)
