Wikipedia Procedure

What is the procedure for splitting a page? Is anyone allowed to do it?

Also, is anyone allowed to greet newcomers?

Thanks in advance.

To split ("fork") a page, you should bring it up on any relevant Talk pages first with the reasons why you think it should be split. Keep in mind that in an encyclopedia it is generally best to have similar topics that fall under the same subject in the same article, not to have all individual particulars separated out. The most common articles that are forked are of a subject is so vast and an article so long that it warrants it. Usually someone will respond to your proposal. If no on responds and you are tentative about it, you might post it on WP:RFC. If it still seems like an unequivocally good idea after several days, you can do the split yourself.
Anyone is allowed to welcome newcomers. There are templates for this purpose you can find at Wikipedia:Welcome templates, or you can craft your own or make comments based on what an individual user seems to be interested in, etc. The only real restriction would be: don't make advice about something you don't really know about; refer the user to the relevant page if you can find it, or leave it for someone else. It might be best to explore the encyclopedia first rather than welcoming when you yourself are a new user. I have left such a welcome template below, which has useful links, advice, etc. —Centrx→talk • 18:51, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Subpages

Sorry to ask for help again.

Am I allowed to create sub pages for my home page and talk page (e.g. "http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/User:ENIAC/Current_projects", "http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/User_talk:ENIAC/Archive1")?

Thanks in advance. ENIAC 19:44, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this is allowed. See Wikipedia:Subpages. They should be related to Wikipedia though, which these obviously are. —Centrx→talk • 19:48, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good work on breaking up that hideous introduction, it's much better now. Still needs a lot of expansion, but we need biology people for that :) Cheers, — riana_dzast a _{wreak havoc|damage report} 15:49, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Now that is un-nesscessary.

Be BOLD

Hi,

you have good ideas, maybe things would go faster if you just be WP:BOLD! Go for it!

To answer your question, you can just remove tags if needed. If you need help, just ask!

I'm referring to the discussion on Talk:Anabolism.--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 17:12, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That kind of thing shouldn't be a long term operation! --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 17:16, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Now that you've said so, you could wait... But if you have the time now, you can just say you've changed your mind and are BOLDly splitting

Free Church of the Divine Spirit

Not sure this is worth spending time/effort on. In their own words they are a "very small independent fellowship", probably not notable enough for an article. exolon 12:41, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, as it seems the article has been deleted. -ENIAC (Talk) (Current Projects) 12:48, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Afghanistan

Thanks for your comment on my Talk page. The articles aren't all that great, but at least they add information that is hard to find elsewhere. Hopefully, I will be able to add similar information on the other newly created districts as and when I come across it! Skinsmoke 13:12, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your image for Template:mtgstub

I've listed it for deletion at WP:IFD. I feel that it's against WP's fair use policy to use copyrighted images for things like stub templates, which only serve an administrative purpose. You're welcome to comment. Mango juice^talk 13:05, 21 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
