re Pingu common introduction wording to episode lists

edit

What are you trying to do here, it's not clear. This article does not explain itself very well and thus will be soon deleted. If you tell me what you are trying to do I can help you. Herostratus 14:39, 15 May 2007 (UTC)Reply


Thanks for the offer of assistance. I was attempting to put a common piece of introductory text into 8 separate pages, so that it would only need to be edited once if editing was needed (and it does need some editing). My set-up on the user pages worked fine, but this wouldn't transcribe across onto the main page, so decided to leave it as it was while I further researched it.

On further reflection, I've decided the block of text will be OK as a comment on the main page, so I'll put it there shortly. As a consequence, please can you delete the " Pingu common ...." page for me, as it now won't be needed. Thanks Kwerty 17:13, 15 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Kwerty

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on User:Kwerty, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Adjkasi (discuss me) 11:07, 24 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
