I noticed that you've created a huge collection of essentially blank categories and pages, presumably in anticipation of creating the actual articles. Please don't do that.  From the perspective of the wiki, that's spam.
+
 
+
Please view this discussion on [[NSwiki:Village_pump#Category_Creation|category creation]], and also be aware that we are trying VERY hard to keep category growth from spiraling out of control. One nation: one factbook is the rule.  Subcategorizing everything, especially when you haven't written the material to populate it, is just a pain in the butt for NSwiki sysops.  Everything about your nation can fit in a single category.  You should also avoid names like '''List of Kings''' in favor of '''List of Rammsteinburg Kings'''.  Did you think you had the only monarchy in NS?
+
 
+
I'm going to wipe out the empty pages and ask you not to recreate them until you ''actually have written the article''.  Do outlining on your home computer, not this website.  As for the categories, I'm cleaning those out entirely except for your nation and region factbooks.  [[User:Frisbeeteria|&rarr; Fris]] [[User talk:Frisbeeteria|&Theta;<small>''talk''</small>]] 23:33, 12 May 2005 (GMT)

That is fine.  I already know that I named the list of Kings pages wrong, by the way. 
+
 
+
The only problem I have is that you deleted two pages which I was planning on doing something with & were actual going to serve some purpose.  I made a "Historical Map of Rammsteinburg" and "Rammsteinburg Timeline" page, because I did't want to make the main article on the history of my nation too large.
