Thanks

Thanks, Karmafist. I will in the future.

I've been looking through your contributions, and all of the ones I have seen have been nonsense atarticles. Please stop creating these or you will be blocked from editing. They will be continue to be deleted. Academic Challenger 22:40, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes Supreme Being

I apologize, supreme being.


Thanks. Now, so that you can have a new start making good contributions without the bad ones, is it okay if I delete your Uncle Jemima article? It is obvious nonsense and will be deleted in five days anyway, but it is better if it is deleted now. Academic Challenger 22:44, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I did not create the Uncle Jemima article, I just added the Jonathan Chou/Great Philosopher comment, but sure, go ahead and delete it, I don't mind.

Park Street

Its been nominated for deletion, as you haven't mentioned any reason why the street is notable.--File Éireann 22:53, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Geez, if you notify everybody everyti,me their article is nominated for deletion, that's al you'll ever do. Just the same, I appreciate you telling me.

I have removed the deletion tag from Park Street, because I don't think it should be deleted. You are becoming a much better contributor. Now if someone wants it deleted they will have to use a more advanced process for deletion. Academic Challenger 23:04, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hatikvah Citation

Hi, I noticed you recently added a bit of trivia to Hatikvah. I've added a citation needed tag next to it, because while it seems like it might be true, I couldn't find anything to back it up. Remember that everything you add to the encyclopedia must be verifiable. If you have any questions, don't hestitate to ask. Chris (talk) 06:17, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Basketball

Please don't make any more nominations in bad faith. Clearly you were trying to prove a point, but it was a totally invalid arguement anyway. --W.marsh 20:01, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • My point was not that the basketball article was to be deleted. It was merely that if we don't do something about the "made up in school rule" for example add the line "unless it is something notable" we will have problems, including this one.
    • That's not a rule, it's an essay. And if you'll read it, it specifically addresses things "made up in school" that go on to be written about by good sources, and says those topics are fine. --W.marsh 18:42, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Yes, I will. I was merely making a point that something had to be done about that rule. And while you're at it, add it to all the others. Otherwise, some inventor will say "Ooh, I invented that myself so it isn't an acceptable article" Smartyshoe 20:24, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Malcom Ross & Malcolm Ross (musician)

The first is misspelled and is now a redirect to the second which has been blanked as a copyright of this. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 15:53, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

post new articles

Hi, are you really 13? The quality of your contributions is much higher than people twice your age. I wanted to let you know about Portal:Israel/New. If you add anymore new Israel-related articles, please add them to the list (like Yerushalayim Shel Zahav). I started Route 90 (Israel) and only later noticed your Dead Sea Highway. I think your contribution should be merged into the main route 90 article since the Dead Sea part is only a small section of the entire road and then redirect it. --Shuki 23:47, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Jerusalem of Gold (song)

Now that I investigated a bit, I see that you took the unilateral liberty of redirecting this page to your newly created Yerushalayim Shel Zahav. I see a couple of problems with this: while evidently more effort was put into your contribution, the other should have been the base for your addition, your article name is a transliteration of Hebrew. English wikipedia articles should have English titles, if you feel justified in redirecting an article, please copy&paste additional info as well such as external links, links to other language wikipedias, and categories/stubs. --Shuki 00:07, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Categories

When beginning new articles, please add at least one categories. Some more advice, if you are writing about a certain subject, try to find an existing article and use that structure for your new additions. --Shuki 21:14, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Help

Excuse my stupidity, but how do I add a category? I can never seem to remember?

At the bottom of the page, add the text: [[Category:Name of page]]. This will add the article to the category of your choice. Hope this helps. — TheKMantalk 21:08, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
