[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Time's Up!, is considered bad practice, even if you meant it well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Also, a talk page isn't for drafting an article - please Click Here to create a page to allow you to do this Mdann52 (talk) 19:30, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
My Mistake
[edit]Wow, I was unaware of this. Is there anyway I can get those notes back that I erased? I know that they were written by another volunteer that I work with so I used their notes to enhance mine, which is why I figured it was acceptable to erase them. Palderoty (talk) 20:37, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
Ok. So I figured out how to replace the text I erased. phew. Sorry about that! But now I am back to my original problem where my first few paragraphs aren't appearing on the talk page. Do you know why that is happening? My next question is now what? Should I wait for people to comment on my talk page before writing it in the sandbox? Also, what exactly is the sandbox?

- Hi there. I have put all your content for the article in User:Palderoty/sandbox1. Please don't edit until I ask you to - I am currently reviewing the contents for any WP:pov or WP:coi issues. Thanks, Mdann52 (talk) 07:54, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
- Take a look at User:Palderoty/sandbox1. I have finished editing it - tell me what you think Mdann52 (talk) 17:02, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you so much! I have just made a few changes just for styling. Now what do you suggest I do next? Also, take a look at the reference page I added. Sandbox told me it was an error that I did not include it so I fixed that. Palderoty (talk) 18:51, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

How's it going?
[edit]Hi, Palderoty. I'm just stopping by to see if you feel like you got the problem with the article you were trying to edit figured out. There's such a big learning curve when you're beginning -- at least I'm finding that true. Don't be afraid to ask more questions if you need to. The group you are working on looks interesting.

Hi! I think it is going ok. If you look at the posts above, you can see the Sandbox of my text. Feel free to make any adjustments that you think are necessary. Palderoty (talk) 18:52, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
- Hi. What a lot of work you've done! That's great. :) I left you a reply on that page's talk page, to keep this talk page from getting too long. Let me know what you think, and good work.Tlqk56 (talk) 00:10, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

Making some final edits
[edit]Hello, take a look at some of my changes I have made on the page, specifically the opening paragraph and the "introduction" section on User:Palderoty/sandbox1. Do you have any other suggestions for me based on things that I have done incorrectly or things that Wikipedia would not approve of? Also, how do I go about actually getting this draft on the Time's Up Wikipedia page? Palderoty (talk) 16:17, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
- I am happy this is ok - I'll go and put it all up now. If there are any problems, just send me a message. Mdann52 (talk) 20:14, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
A cup of tea for you!
[edit]Put your feet up, relax, your article is online!!! Mdann52 (talk) 20:34, 13 June 2012 (UTC) |
- Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I am so happy about this. Is there anyway this version of Time's Up's page can be deleted? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time's_Up! This site comes on Google before the new version that we just made. It is not as informative as ours. Palderoty (talk) 20:53, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
- Nevermind. I see that it is now gone. Thanks again for all of your help through this! Palderoty (talk) 20:55, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
