I am relatively new to Wikipedia. I am still learning everything there is to know about this site. I have a good feeling that I will learn things quickly, though. The only thing I'm really confused about is how to change any vandalism made by inconsiderate(I think I spelled that right) Wikipedia users. I would like to thank those who make this site realible and vandalist-free. I hope to join you. I have already corrected a few grammar mistakes and have added some information to a few pages.
The name Prepsear actually comes from the two words preppie and greaser. Since they basically complete each other, I decided to put the two names together, preppie first because preps are always said to be the higher class in society(sorry if I'm discriminating anyone). I'm still wondering why I added the a. Anyways, I've already learned a lot about this website. I have noticed that most of my contributions are edits to video game articles.
OK, just ignore what I have been saying in the first two paragraphs.
As my userboxes suggest, I like metal, hard rock, video games, football, baseball(on second thought, just read my userboxes). Fortunately, during my job, I am able to get on to Wikipedia in my free time. Most of my edits are made on video game articles. Like I said, I am a video game addict, from the womb to the tomb. I am also interested in different sub-cultures(mainly preppies and greasers). In my free time when I'm not playing video games or chasing after my love interest, I like to trace my German ancestry.
My Tips For Editing Video Game Articles
[edit]Note: I haven't made very many edits to very many articles, but I feel confident in my abilities. If you think I am wrong with these tips, feel free to correct me on my talk page.
1. Actually play the game before you decide to make any edits(this kinda goes for all articles as you shouldn't edit them without actually knowing what the article is about).
2. Don't state your opinion on the article about the game. Example: Let's say you want to edit the article on Super Smash Bros. Brawl. You decide you want to put "This game is awesome". No, it dosen't work like that. Your change will be reverted and you might receive a vandalism warning.
3. Don't use words like you, me, I in the article. Like Tip #1, this applies for all articles.
4. Don't be a jerk on the article talk pages. I remember looking at the discussion for Super Mario Galaxy. Somebody asked a question about the game and then some other person came in and started a pointless argument. The conversation was almost taken to a website that deals with these problems, I believe.
5. Don't post game tips or cheat codes on the article. Wikipedia is used to spread knowledge, not to help you beat a video game. If you really want to do that, go to Gamefaqs or something.
If I can't help you(which you probably shouldn't be asking for my help anyways), the user underneath this text sure can!
Le Grand Roi des CitrouillesTally-ho!
Although my spelling is a little off, it's better than what I see on this site sometimes(mainly those who don't have a Wikipedia account). I always notice that those with accounts spell the best.
What's up with some of the users on here? I mean, more than 80% are normal, I'd say, but some are just WHOA! For the benefit of those I am talking about, I'm not going to name any names.
No one(except for a few people) know I have a user page(wait, that's fact). Oh well, I don't care.
I love good arguments on talk pages. However, I start to ignore the arguments after other users begin to act like jerks and start to attack other users with profane or hurtful comments. Here is the qualities I see in a good argument.
1. The argument actually has meaning.
2. Absolutely NO comments that hurt other users are used.
3. No profanity is used.
4. The users in the argument state their opinions well and clearly.
Recently, I have created a subpage. User:Prepsear/Sandbox
