User talk:Avenging Angels

Thanks for experimenting with NSwiki. Your test worked, and has now been removed. Please use NSwiki:Sandbox for any other tests you want to do, since testing material in articles will normally be removed quickly. Please see the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks.

I quote in large letters at the top of the page: "You do not want to Edit this page. Your region is not "RegionName".Go to the Address Bar of your browser. Change RegionName to your region's name. " . If you wish to create a customised infobox, hail me and I can help. Sincerely, Rechze • (talk) 07:27, 18 Dec 2004 (GMT)

Furthermore, this message is also at the top of the nation and region creation page:"Not "The Most Imperial Land of My Nation". Not "The Federated Republic of Really Cool Name".Just your Nation's actual name EXACTLY as it appears on NationStates. If it has spaces, (i.e. "Cookie Monster Land") leave them in. '". Thus your page:"The Immortal Spirit of The Avenging Angel", will be moved to "The Avenging Angels".

Moreover:

I would suggest against copy-pasting information that can be found here or at the equivalent page for any other region or nation, the information is only one click away , that is why the link has been put at the bottom of the infobox, repeating it is unnecessary, just informing you. See the NSwiki copy-paste policy for more details, and reasons why, Moreover, please read the documentation given at the articles linked above, before continuing to edit, I hope to see you editing in the future, have fun, regards, Rechze • (talk) 08:44, 18 Dec 2004 (GMT)

In addition here is a supporting quote from NSwiki:Avoiding_common_mistakes (my bolding): "Creating "copy" pages. NSwiki is where nations come to record their own history and the shared history of NationStates play. Please don't create pages that only parrot information that can already be found on NS or related sites such as NSEconomy (the standard nation infobox has automatic links to the NS nation page and NSEconomy already). A nation with only an infobox and/or the nation description from the NS nation page is not considered useful content. Let each active nation create their own page, with their own content. You don't need a separate page for each puppet nation either, unless it has a roleplaying history of its own.". Rechze • (talk) 10:47, 19 Dec 2004 (GMT)
