Welcome
Hey, Athamasha! 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|? 01:11, 1 Dec 2004 (GMT)
Regarding NationStates
There's already a Wikipedia link on that article - the {{wikipedia}} tag at the top takes care of that. --Goobergunch|? 03:16, 1 Dec 2004 (GMT)
- ummm, yeah. Ditto what Goober said. I meant to drop you a note, but got distracted. → Fris Θtalk 04:43, 1 Dec 2004 (GMT)
- Fair enough. --Athamasha 20:35, 1 Dec 2004 (GMT)
disambig page
I removed the Category and User disambig notices. If we start creating disambig page for all of those, we'll end up with thousands. Given that every factbook shares a nation name and most share a User name, that's just not a precedent I'd like to see set. → Fris Θtalk 05:21, 5 Dec 2004 (GMT)
- We're trying to avoid creating general articles like Socialist and Naturalism in preference to [[Wikipedia:Socialist|]]. A more complete discussion can be found here. Also, are you really going to create 14 different city pages, 23 different Subdivision articles, and so on? It seems to me that unless they've played a significant role in NS roleplaying, a Cites of Athamasha article and another Subdivisions of Athamasha page would suffice. → Fris Θtalk 05:38, 5 Dec 2004 (GMT)
- Yeah, good points, both of you. "Naturalism" as described in the NSWiki article is quite different from what "Naturalism" usually applies to, so I think that one stays. To tell you the truth, I'm really not all that interested in RP -- I'm just writing an encyclopedia of Athamasha because it's fun to do so. But I'll try and keep it within reasonable limits: I understand that some of the things that I've written up are a little bit, well, excessively ambitious.
