Welcome!

Hello, DelBoyPC, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like The Pirate Game, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted (if it hasn't already).

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! -Zeus- [t|c] 17:36, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of The Pirate Game

[edit]

A tag has been placed on The Pirate Game requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you. -Zeus- [t|c] 17:36, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits

[edit]

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. If you can't type the tilde character, you should 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 (talk) 18:12, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Refactoring

[edit]

Please do not delete or edit legitimate talk page comments, as you did at User talk:Templarion. Such edits are disruptive and appear to be vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. SpinningSpark 17:27, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am offended by these comments. DelBoyPC (talk) 18:03, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This edit deleted someone elses comment on another users talk page. Read the guidelines linked above. SpinningSpark 21:31, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your advice. My apologies. DelBoyPC (talk) 00:55, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

February 2009

[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Oxted School. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. You've reverted as both your account and as an IP editor. It's obvious that at least one or more editors disagrees with you, so now you need to go to the talk page of the article and try to come to an agreement.

I would be grateful to know how I can find out who is repeatedly deleting my edits. If they weren't being repeatedly deletd then I would have no need to reinstate them. It is my work that is being vandalised nad I am becoming very offended. Thankyou. DelBoyPC (talk) 18:01, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You can find out by clicking on the "History" tab on the article page. There is space for a comment besides each edit. Clicking on the "prev" link on an entry will show you exactly what was changed. Repeatedly inserting the same material without discussing can ultimately get you blocked from the site. The correct way forward on Wikipedia is to discuss the issue on the article talk page. You will need to back up your edits with references to reliable sources to ensure that they stick. SpinningSpark 21:38, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
