WP:SELF

Hi sorry, I missed your question. WP:SELF is part of the Manual of Style, sometimes abbreviated MOS. It is a guideline not a policy. Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines explains the difference: "Policies and guidelines express standards that have community consensus, though to differing degrees: policies are considered a standard that all users should follow, whereas guidelines are more advisory in nature. Both need to be approached with common sense. A user who acts against the spirit of them may be reprimanded, even if technically no rule has been violated." Wikipedia has only five basic rules, known as the five pillars. So a guideline is not a hard-and-fast rule. However, a guideline does reflect the consensus of the broad community of Wikipedia editors who established it. Any one can propose changes to a guideline at any time, but the guideline as it is currently written provides a sense of what the current consensus is on a particular issue. Hope that clears things up for you. Northwesterner1 (talk) 08:23, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Please see my comments on the discussion page on the Project Musical Theater site. Thanks for contacting me. Rarmin (talk) 00:15, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Might you have a look at this?

I've posted a topic here [[1]] and was wondering what you thought?Smatprt (talk) 03:53, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Not at all, Broadweighbabe!

Good luck trying to reinvigorate the Theatre Project! I guess it's declined a bit since Ganymead retired. Best. --Kleinzach (talk) 12:57, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

I've now joined the Theatre Project. I thought I might make some suggestions and that it would be better to do this from the inside (so to speak) rather than the outside! See you there! --Kleinzach (talk) 03:35, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Archiving WPMT

Just so you know, we usually don't archive things for quite awhile -- usually a month or two. A lot of the members of the project aren't active on a day-to-day basis, and it's a benefit to them (and us) to leave things up for awhile so people can see what's been discussed and decided while they were away. We usually archive when that page starts getting unwieldly (which it can rather quickly....). I'm going to undo those two edits, but I don't want you to think it was anything personal. (And I see that you were basically trying to do away with a redundancy, but if we wait to archive it, it can, at least, stay with your comment in terms of when things were said and whatnot.) —  MusicMaker5376 16:09, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

I hear ya. I don't like editing other's talk page comments, either, but I think it's acceptable in a case like that to replace the link with something like <deprecated link removed> or something along those lines. (I don't know why that editor linked to a static version of a discussion!) Either way, with your comment right beneath it, people will find the right spot.

And it certainly isn't a policy, it's just a how we've been doing things that seems to work well.... —  MusicMaker5376 16:19, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Sorry

Didn't realise I was deleting stuff, as you realised. Thanks for that pointer. Sebbi (talk) 01:05, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

I had no idea I had linked to an old page! thanks so much. Smatprt (talk) 01:24, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to WikiProject Theatre

Sorry it's a little belated but:

Hello, and welcome to WikiProject Theatre!

Thank you for adding your name to our project membership list! Our goal is to make Wikipedia the the finest, most comprehensive resource of theatre topics available online. As a project member, you might like to introduce yourself on our talk page and maybe add the project membership userbox to your user page.

If you haven't done so already, please add our main project page to your watchlist and browse our page of useful templates. When you have a moment, please take some time to review our article structure guidelines for theatre articles, which give a handy guide to sections you should try to include in articles about theatre. If you would like suggestions about where to start, we've gathered a few suggestions in the Project to do list and in our tasklist.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask on the project talk page or on my talk page. Again, welcome and happy editing!

Hope you can come back soon

Without your leadership over at WikiProject Theatre, I fear the debate will never reach a conclusion. As Fagin says - "Fare thee well and be back soon!"Smatprt (talk) 01:57, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Theatre May 2008 Newsletter

The WikiProject Theatre Newsletter (May 2008)

The WikiProject Theatre Newsletter! Issue 3 - May, 2008 Welcome to our third newsletter - we've got lots to get through this month so without further ado, let's crack on... The Big Debate - Character Lists in Play Articles For those of you who haven't headed over to our talk page recently - you've been missing out! Throughout the past month there's been great discussion about the issue of character lists in play articles. The aim is to form a standard presentation of character lists to be used on all play articles so if you'd like to make your voice heard on the issue then check out the talk page now. Collaboration of The Month Yet again this month's COTM has remained unchanged as no-one has nominated any articles to become the new incumbent. Quick - get yourself down to the COTM page and nominate an article for next month! Assessment The number of articles at the Assessment page are growing - if you're feeling a little lost and don't know where to begin to help us out, head on down to the Assessment page and give us a hand. New members The past month has seen Dereksmootz, Duckie for broadway, Dozenthey, Fewster, Nrswanson, Kleinzach and Broadweighbabe join us - welcome to you all! It's wonderful to see such a large influx of new members. If you've been editing a theatre-related article recently and noticed another user helping you who also appears to have an interest for the subject of theatre, why not drop them a line and invite them over to the project? HELP! We're crying out for people to help us out wherever possible. We are currently looking for members to volunteer to give us a hand in several areas. If you can do any of the following, please drop us a line at the talk page: Newsletter Editor(s) - Always fancied yourself as a bit of a journalist? Perhaps you could help us write this newsletter - it doesn't take long to compile. Maybe you'd like to help but can't commit on a regular basis? In that case, why not rally round a few other members of the project to help you out and take it in turns each month to compose the newsletter? Mailmen/women - If writing the newsletter isn't your bag then maybe you could help in the distribution of this fine document? As our membership grows it becomes quite laborious to send it to everyone. It's only a quick task that needs doing once a month, and really is just a case of copying and pasting a template onto our members talk pages. Portal editor(s) - It's come to our attention that the Theatre Portal hasn't been updated in a long time and we'd like to get someone, or a group of people to take charge of it and get it up to the standard of some of the great portals out there (e.g. the Comedy Portal, the Solar System Portal etc). And finally... Don't forget to add the WikiProject Theatre userbox to your userpage to spread the word about the project!

Can you contact me?

Hi, I see you are back. Can you email me? I have something important to say. Thanks. --Kleinzach 13:15, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
