Please Sign All Comments On My Talk Page! Thank You

Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hey there, Dphantom15, and welcome to our great encyclopedia, which currently has more than 6,914,959 articles! Even with this large number, all of your contributions are important (including the small ones), and I hope you like the place and decide to stay! Here's a few starting tips for you:

You might want to check out the welcome page.
Then you can have a look at our guidelines.
After that, you can see here for a cheatsheet on editing pages (for a bigger list, see here).

After reading all this (or even just glimpsing at it), I can understand that you might feel apprehensive about editing and contributing articles, for fear of making a mistake. But don't worry too much about mistakes; after all, you're new. Instead, everyone here encourages you to be bold! If you need help with anything, feel free to leave me a message, or you can put {{helpme}} on your talk page, and someone will show up shortly to give you a hand.

One last thing: when leaving a message on someone's talk page, don't forget to put four "tildes" (~~~~) to automatically sign your name.

Happy Editing! -- P.B. Pilh e t / Talk 18:33, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nicktropolis

May I ask why you deleted the article? Dphantom15 12:54, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted it as advertising and no content, eother of which would be enough for a deletion. I listed the other article for deletion since there is a small chance that the article is notable. -- Chris 73 | Talk 08:50, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I guess you are talking about the "Nicktropolis" article? Ok! Thanks for the info.Dphantom15 15:32, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Admin

With respect to your want to be an admin, please take a look at some of the charts at User:Durin/Admin charts. Most users who are selected as administrators have several thousand edits ... the last time the statistics were run, the average was 6000. If you continue to edit and contribute positively to the encyclopedia, one day you will be selected, but people are going to want to see a high degree of involvement. But don't let it bother you too much ... there are administrative things that you can help with even without being an admin. If you find an image with no source, you can try and find the source or tag it for deletion. You can use the "recent changes" link on the left side of the screen to patrol for vandalism, warn vandals using an appropriate {{test}} template, and report repeat customers at WP:AIV. There are plenty of ways that you can help out, in addition to article writing. Once you have earned the trust of the community, both from your writing and your helping out in other ways, an RFA would have a better chance of being successful. --BigDT 16:43, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit to Talk:Nicktoons World Online

Warning

Please do not delete other people's comments on talk pages, as you did on Talk:Nicktoons World Online. It is considered vandalism, and you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia if you continue in this manner. Even if you don't like their opinion, please be civil and remember that they are entitled to it. Fan-1967 19:52, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

SorryDphantom15 19:53, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, frankly, your questions had already been answered in the remarks that had been deleted. We don't keep articles on websites that will be notable someday, only the ones that are notable now. We don't make exceptions, because there are thousands of new sites every day that would clutter up Wikipedia if they could. Our notability guidelines for web content are at Wikipedia:Notability (web). Fan-1967 20:00, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly the article may be created in the future if the website shows it meets the standards at that time. Fan-1967 20:26, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like you haven't got the gist of our standards yet. I don't know what it's like on the inside. It doesn't matter. If someone built the most wonderful, amazing useful site ever, but nobody paid attention to it, or reported on it, and not many people went to it, then it wouldn't merit an article, no matter how wonderful. That's what our notability measure is. This site shows up by every measure as practically unknown. Wikipedia is not for helping to promote unknown enterprises.

	Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia! You recently added an external link to an internet forum in an article. It has been removed because the link pointed to a non-encyclopedic source. Please refer to Wikipedia's policy on external links for more information. --Veinor ^{(talk to me)} 21:54, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned fair use image (Image:NWT.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:NWT.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

If this has been sent to you in error and you have never patrolled new pages, please ignore it.

Please click HERE to take part.
Many thanks in advance for providing this essential feedback.

New deal for page patrollers

Hi Dphantom15,

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:28, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
