User talk:Hodgson

Welcome!

Hello, Hodgson, Welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope you like working here and want to continue. If you need help on how to name new articles, look at the Guide to Layout, and for help on formatting the pages visit the Manual of Style. If you need general help, look at Help and the FAQ, and 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 the Policy Library. Also, don't forget to visit the Community Portal — and if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my New-Users' Talk Page.

Additional tips:

Here are some extra tips to help you get around Wikipedia:

If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills, try the Sandbox.
Click on the Edit button on a page, and look at how other editors did what they did.
You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Always sign comments on Talk pages, never sign Articles.
You might want to add yourself to the New User Log
If your first language isn't English, try Wikipedia:Contributing to articles outside your native language
Full details on Wikipedia style can be found in the Manual of Style.

There's also a regular group introduction to Wikipedia for new users on IRC.

Happy editing!

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.

The Call of Cthulhu (film)

Why would this article be deleted?Hodgson 21:21, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The article hasn't been deleted. The notice says that the article hasn't established the notability of its subject. All I understand from the article is that a silent film exists and was created in 2005. I would like to know if it is notable in any way - film festival awards, distributed by a major studio, technical innovations used in its creation, etc. You should already have the evidence of such notability to hand if you have created the article - it would be the reason for which the article was originally created. I would like to know what it is. On a side note, I might also be interested in watching the film on a future date. (aeropagitica) (talk) 21:27, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine, but give it a minute. You tagged it for notability within minutes of its creation. There's already a link at the bottom to reviews. As for awards, I'll add that at another time.Hodgson 21:31, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I notice that you have removed the {{notability}} tag without addressing the reason for its placement. Could you please do so? I would like to know more about this film through the article. Please don't remove the tag without adding something to the article, as this is a breach of etiquette. I am sure that you already know why the film is notable, can you share the reasons, please?

Your recent edits

Hi, there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 20:32, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
