User talk:Dark Abrahms
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

Gregory Mitchell Darr
[edit]Which deleted article are you referring to? I need that information to answer your question. NawlinWiki 21:12, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
- OK, I've looked at Gregory Mitchell Darr. The article asserted in general terms that Mr. Darr was notable as an "underground con man," but didn't explain what he did that allegedly made him notable. Further, the article failed to provide any sources at all. Wikipedia articles must be backed by verifiable sources. Finally, statements like "Little is known about his mysterious past" are usually a red flag that the article is a hoax or vanity article.
Basically, the article sounded very much like the hundreds of other articles that are posted here every day by students making up stuff about themselves. Please don't recreate the article unless you have sources that demonstrate otherwise. Thanks, NawlinWiki 21:23, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
