If you were to get an accout, you would have a user page, which is intended for informaton like that in Sober_Thought_real. Compliments, Rechze • (talk) 23:22, 11 Mar 2005 (GMT)

Then you could have all NS nation information in the article Sober Thought, as is conventional, and people would be able to find your user page by looking at the history of your nation's article. Rechze • (talk) 23:26, 11 Mar 2005 (GMT)

random redirects

I noticed that you created a redirect from North Pacific to The North Pacific. Did you know that North Pacific is in fact a separate region of almost 250 nations? The fact that no one has created a wiki page for it doesn't mean we should link it incorrectly to another region. Please be cautious when creating such links. I've removed it. → Fris Θtalk 02:17, 17 Mar 2005 (GMT)

Page Naming

A quick note: I've noticed that you're naming a lot of your articles very generically, like "Air Force". It would be better to name it something ilke "Sober Thought Air Force" or "Air Force (Sober Thought)", because "Air Force" implies that it's a generic page on all air forces that exist in NationStates, which is not the case. Thanks! ~ Ceo rant (or rave) 03:09, November 21, 2005 (GMT)

Suppose you had "Community Defence Forces Air Service" or put one of those italic banners at the top saying something like:
This article is about the Sober Thought Air Service. For general air defense forces, see Category:Armed Forces.

What you suggested is a perfect way to do it in theory...until you look at NSwiki:Manual of Style, which says not to use abbreviations in article titles. I think it would be fine, but you might want to consult someone who is more experienced with NSwiki than I am. Or you could just do it and see if anyone has a problem with it! ~ Ceo rant (or rave) 01:01, November 23, 2005 (GMT)
