Hello AbandonedForever, welcome to Wikipedia!

To get you up and running very quickly, here are some links that will help you get started:

The help page, for which there is always a link in the navigation menu on the left-hand side of your screen, includes links to the above pages as well as to everything else you could possibly need to know about Wikipedia and how the Wikipedia community operates.

Be sure to drop us a note at Wikipedia:New user log so we can meet you and help you get started.

Here are some things that new users sometimes have trouble with, and you will soon find these tips useful:

  • When you write messages on talk pages, be sure to sign your name. You can do this using three tildes, like [[User:Go for it!|Go for it!]]. If you use four, a datestamp is automatically added. Five provides the datestamp only.
  • Remember to check your work using the Show preview button before you save. This helps prevent mistakes (and the edits used to correct them). Thank you.
  • Here is information about what you can do with your User page.

I hope you enjoy your experience at Wikipedia and decide to stay. Sincerely, --Go for it!

Commercial links edit

Please do not add commercial links (or links to your own private websites) to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopedia. See the welcome page to learn more. Thanks. -- PRueda29 / Ptalk29 / Pcontribs29 01:18, 1 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Please stop adding commercial links to the Columbine High School massacre page, it is considered vandalism. Remember that Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising and these actions may get you blocked. Thank You. -- PRueda29 / Ptalk29 / Pcontribs29 21:42, 1 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

 

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. -- PRueda29 / Ptalk29 / Pcontribs29 23:32, 1 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Abandoned Forever and commercial links edit

    • Comment: Thanks Marvin, at least you understand that I made this my second day using Wikipedia. Abandoned Forever is just a popular website that a lot of people interested in Urban exploring go to. The only reason I mention the documentary is because it is one of the first documentaries to be made on abandoned places.
Don't bite the newcomers isn't a reason not to delete something. Do you understand why the article's being deleted? You haven't shown that you even understand the importance of not adding commerical links, especially to your own website. 5000 hits a month for a forum is nowhere near notable enough to be kept for WP:WEB.
