User talk:Alexanderdavis
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 Wikipedia 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 Wikipedia:Help and the FAQ , plus if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia 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
[edit]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 talk contribs

External links
[edit]Hi - I notice you have placed a few external links in the last little while. Contribution to articles on Wiki are always welcome, however links are generally not. Do look at WP:EL, WP:SPAM and WP:NOT before placing any more or putting back the others. Thanks --Nigel (Talk) 07:05, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
You've removed my link (we're non-commercial) while allowing links to other groups just like ours. I don't understand why and it seems wrong. You should allow my link. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Alexanderdavis (talk • contribs) 07:23, 27 Sep 2006 (UTC)
- Hi Alexander (?) - if you look at the links I offered you above to Wiki policy you should see that it is not what we should allow that is the issue but what other links we have not got to deleting or reviewing yet. You (or anyone else) have no right to place links in Wiki. In practice most of your editing has been to place links and this is not the way Wiki works. Content not links is what is needed and articles are frequently good enough without links. The fact that you say "we" are non commercial effectively prevents you from placing the link anyway as you are involved with the site. I'll hope to look at the other links on the page today - regards --Nigel (Talk) 07:38, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
I would think including external links to audio theater groups would be very helpful to people wanting to learn about audio theater. In fact, this is how I first learned that there was even an audio theater scene today-- by following links to www.darkerprojects.com included on these audio theater related Wiki pages. Otherwise, I would not know. My organization (just as Darker Projects) is a limited liability company (LLC), but we're releasing our audio theater for free (just as Darker Projects does). Darker Projects was put on these pages by Darker Projects and had remained on these pages for a substantial time. So I don't see how or why we should be treated differently.
Should we either write about this new audio theater scene, including external links to these groups (which I would find messy) or should we simply list them at the bottom of the page? There aren't that many groups online that I could find doing audio theater today-- but what if there are more? Wouldn't that benefit my knowledge if all groups had come forth and listed themselves? I would certainly think so. I don't want to abuse Wikipedia, but I genuinely think this is critical. I would to request that my link be re-added, as well as the links to the other, equal groups.
Furthermore, I find it extremely confusing that my "high-quality" website (as Wikipedia describes) is taken down, whereas links to amateur voice acting *threads* of "clubs" that are no longer active remain. That just doesn't make sense... don't you think, friend?
- I happen to agree with you, Alexander. The links in both radio drama and audio theatre are important so that people can see what else is out there. Thanks for re-adding those that had been recently deleted. Raveler1 16:25, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi Alexander. Please do not add links to sites that are simply examples of the subject of an article, links that do not provide encyclopedic information about the subject of an article, or links to sites you are connected with directly to article pages. Such links fail our external links guidelines, and promotion of an organization, especially one you are connected with, is considered spam. If you believe your links will make the articles better despite the guidelines, please get a consensus on the article talk pages before the link is readded. Thanks. -- Siobhan Hansa 13:26, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of Michael c place
[edit]
A tag has been placed on Michael c place requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi, I am a person from Germany. Possibly you can look on the discussion of the article: Audio theatre, because you have made statement in the past. with friendly greetings, Soenke --Soenke Rahn (talk) 23:10, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
