Please search before adding new articles/ Wikipedia information

The articles, German language and Official language that you have created, although I respect your constructive intentions in creating them, already have their topics covered in the articles, German and Language respectively, and have thus been redirected to them. Furthermore, these articles probably should not have been created with duplicate wikipedia information in the first place, because it would to some extent fill server space needlessly, and it is just easier, I find, to link the the articles on Wikipedia, by using: [[Wikipedia:German (language)|]] & [[Wikipedia:Official Language|]], which result in respectively, the links to the WIkipedia articles: German & Official Language. Furthermore, they really would not have, that way, much actual relevance to NS, but dominantly to reality, which is similar the case with the article, Capital, that you have created, but it having no equivalent, has been retained and simply been tagged with a: {{rl-stub}} , indicating that it contains dominantly information relating to RL, and thus invites others to add more NS specific information.

In addition I have gone forth and created for your nation, Zadania, a factbook here: Category:Zadania . You can add any articles regarding you nation to it by placing the text: [[Category:Zadania]], at the bottom of code of the article that you wish to add.

Concerning your nation page, Zadania (now at the correct location, your user page is for information regarding you, the person behind the nation Zadania, and not the nation itself), I would advise that you follow the advice given at a similar intstance, here: User_talk:West_Deutschland#West_Deutchland_nation_page. That is to say: please fix all the non-working links, not by creating pages on NSwiki regarding them, but by either removing the links, or linking to the pages on Wikpedia, and further accordingly adapt the page to your nation, etc. I would suggest maybe using the similarly related article, West_Deutschland as an example. Thank you, Rechze(talk) 12:00, 27 Jan 2005 (GMT)

Regarding: East German mark

Please do not replace NSwiki pages with blank content. Blank pages are harmful to NSwiki because they have a tendency to confuse users. If it is a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If the page has been vandalised, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please edit the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. Thanks for contributing to NSwiki!


If you encounter any trouble on your way, feel free to leave a message on my talk page, or on that of any other administrator. Compliments, and once again welcome to NSwiki, Rechze(talk) 12:00, 27 Jan 2005 (GMT)

It appears that the material in "East German mark" was recreated in Ostmark. It's better to use the Move feature than to recreate-and-blank another page. As it was, I deleted the former page. → Fris Θtalk 12:42, 27 Jan 2005 (GMT)

Re:Questions

"is it possible to redirect pages, the code for wikipedia doesn't seem to work. Also, is there an easy way to insert pictures on the left (or right) without great interference between headers or information boxes?"

For the redirect, what do you wish to have redirected? and for the pictures, would you be able to say what exactly you want to have done (ie. which picture,where in which article), that way I can see what is needed. Thank you in advance, Rechze(talk) 01:21, 28 Jan 2005 (GMT)
The code for linking to articles on wikipedia is: [[Wikipedia:nameofarticleonwikipedia|titleoflink]] Rechze(talk) 01:37, 28 Jan 2005 (GMT)
The redirects are done, and although the image seems to be at the bottom, this is only because it is a large image, and floats past the later headers. Once it is resized, and sufficient text is added next to it (after it in the code), it will not do that. I have put the image template in place, all that you need to do it replace the image I have put as a placeholder with the resized image (an image host is Photobucket if you do not know already.

Overusing free links / Linking to Wikipedia

See the discussion on Talk:Zadania, please. → Fris Θtalk 05:19, 30 Jan 2005 (GMT)

The links to economic miracle and alliance policy, are probably to general, and thus their application to just one nation innapropriate. economic miracle (Zadania) and Alliance policy (Zadania) would be better, and also hiding the brackets is simple with a pipe: eg: [[Charles I (Findan)|]], results in Charles I.
