Misplaced Pages

I hope you like this place — I sure do — and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the Five pillars of Misplaced Pages and simplified ruleset. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Misplaced Pages:Help and the FAQ , plus if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Misplaced Pages related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will be by to help you shortly.

Additional tips

Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!

• If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
• You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Five will get you the datestamp only.
• You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
• If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
• If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
• If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.

Happy Wiki-ing. —Kf4bdy

Shadowclan

The article didn't appear to claim to be notable or important in any way.Blnguyen | rant-line 08:17, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Well, firstly you have to "claim importance" so that it will not be speedily deleted. However, even if you do so, an {{afd}} process may be used in an attempt to delete it - if a debate is successful - so you need to explain why it is important and convinve the community that it is worth keeping. Blnguyen | rant-line 08:29, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

That would be criteria a7 - see this template: {{db-group}}.Blnguyen | rant-line 08:43, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

I deleted it basically for the same reasons that Blnguyen has mentioned. It was an advertisement for a group of people that did not assert notability ("uniqueness") according to our notability criteria for people. Kimchi.sg 12:01, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

AfD Nomination: Shadowclan

I've nominated the article Shadowclan for deletion under the Articles for deletion process. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that Shadowclan satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion. I have explained why in the nomination space (see What Misplaced Pages is not and Deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Shadowclan. Don't forget to add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of each of your comments to sign them. You are free to edit the content of Shadowclan during the discussion, but please do not remove the "Articles for Deletion" template (the box at the top). Doing so will not end the discussion.

Hi there. Try not to take it too hard. Kimchi is a great guy and it was merely meant in the form of the personal advice, which he thought would benefit your ability to make your point. At Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Mariano Anton Bruno Mascarenhas, the subject of the biography User:Doctorbruno made extremely incessant pseudo-personal posts which managed to irritate some people. You haven't done anything wrong so far, it was just Kimchi's opinion of what is effective conduct. Thanks, Blnguyen | rant-line 02:41, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

User:Bagginator/Shadowclan

I put the contents here so you can work on it and bring it back when it is ready.Blnguyen | rant-line 02:06, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Might as well recrate and see what happens. You'll need substantiation of your claims.Blnguyen | rant-line 08:08, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, I recreated several days ago and so far so good.

Intelligent design

Please refrain from calling other editors "fools". It violates our policy on personal attacks. Thanks. Guettarda 06:20, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Ad Vandal on Shadowclan page

I added a warning to the userpage of the advertising vandal on the SC wikipage. Tell me if he does it again and I'll step up the disciplinary action on him. Shazbot85 16:36, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, i'll keep an eye on it and let you know.Bagginator 01:30, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Threw my vote in. The guy is extensivly published and I fail to see where that guy draws his dubious claim about the publishers. He should admit fault and renounce his claim. Shazbot85 04:16, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

I replied on the talk. Unknown publishers, and no publishers are dubious. Arbusto 05:56, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

I reverted the partial Amazon.com links because wikipedia does offer business to book retailors. Imagine if every single book on wikipedia followed this suit; all books would be linked to one business. However, adding in the ISBN number, Publisher, city, year, and page numbers would be good.
