Welcome

Hey, JRV! 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|? 23:29, 3 Jan 2005 (GMT)

I moved ISB to Intelligence and Security Bureau (JRV). NSwiki:Naming conventions requests that all acronyums be fully spelt out. Thanks. → Fris Θtalk 12:46, 6 Jan 2005 (GMT)

It also says ‘unless where almost exclusively known by its acronym’ and gives ‘NASA’ as an example. Though I’m not really bothered, and thankyou for moving it, I just thought I’d explain myself. BTW - It still appears there with the new page... can it not be removed? - JRV

While it may be universal within your nation, it is most certainly not universal within NSwiki. We ask you to follow naming convention for ALL of the wiki, please. The reason the duplicate was there is that you saved again after I deleted it. This time I changed it to a Redirect, in hopes that you wouldn't create it again a third time. You also created JRV, which I moved to JRVian Broadcasting Corporation. If you don't mind, please don't create any more acronym entries. Also, your edit history is better defined if you edit while signed in. → Fris Θtalk 00:24, 7 Jan 2005 (GMT)

“While it may be universal within your nation, it is most certainly not universal within NSwiki.”

“We ask you to follow naming convention for ALL of the wiki, please.”

Well I thought I did. I don't want to get into an argument or seem like a pain in the a$$, but I was under the impression that acronyms such as the ones I used would be acceptable. If you don’t want acronyms full stop, it would help if the convention just said that in black and white so then there could be no doubt. Like I said, if it was that clear I wouldn’t have posted two acronym titled pages (and I did not receive your message until it was too late, so sorry about the JBC page). I don’t think ‘NASA’ was a good example, it is along the same lines as ‘CIA’ (‘ISB’?) and ‘BBC’ (‘JBC’).

“The reason the duplicate was there is that you saved again after I deleted it.”

Again, your message was not received until later on and I was unaware that changes had been made. Sorry.

“Also, your edit history is better defined if you edit while signed in.”

Personally, I find it is more convenient to edit simple typos and the likes without signing in. However, I will make an effort in future…

Thankyou for your time and patience, -JRV, 07/01/05 7:14 GMT
