Please remember to mark your edits as minor when (and only when) they genuinely are minor edits (see Wikipedia:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one (and vice versa) is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting, and minor rearranging of text should be flagged as a 'minor edit'. Thanks!

To what are you referring? I haven't made any edits that weren't minor. Happinessiseasy 20:18, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

First off, welcome to wikipedia. I really mean that, Welcome to Wikipaedia! Now that that's out of the way, I can also see it is that page for it is pointless; even as a redirect, the most interesting thing that points to it is why it was deleted before, and the history tells me it was (re)created as a redirect. However, blanking it isn't the best way to go about fixing that. That would be... umm.. somewhere in this page: Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion. Find a tag from there to put on it, and there won't even be a blank page left if the admins agree it's applicable.

Blanking a page leaves it in the database as an article with no text in it, which is more useless than a superfluous redirect. If any registered user could delete pages completely, lots of data would be lost whenever some 'haxor' gets spiteful, so they've set up the big system of admins and bureaucrats and so on. But anyone can bring stuff to their attention to delete. The process to delete articles starts with tagging a page with either a speedy deletion, for articles that won't spur debate, as they are unsourced, unresearched, unverifiable, forgotten pieces of cruft, or articles for deletion, which sets up a debate on whether the article fits wikipedia's purpose. Then an admin reads which way the debate was going and does the actual deletion, if consensus calls for it. AFD discussions are sorted by category, and related talk and project pages are tagged so the debates are easy to find.

So, um, yeah. Don't worry about messing up, even the biggest bureaucrat's actions can be reversed, don't take it personally whenever someone undoes your edits that weren't mistakes too, everyone makes those. The whole point of a wiki is that noone owns articles and everyone fixes everything until it's good, the rules are to channel the fixing energy towards where it's helpful, I think (in theory, at least). Sorry for ranting, this was a bit longer than I intended. Thank you, and goodnight.Spriteless 03:57, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
