nicolay article

edit

hi aimee. welcome to wiki. i noticed you added a contents box and expanded the nicolay article. in keeping with wiki norms you could add some links to the article, where suitable. you can add links to words in your writings by typing "[ [" before and "] ]" after the word which you want to add a link to. for example if i type [ [ User:Majik43 ] ] it creates a link to my user page, like so: User:Majik43.

noticed i typed a space between each of those square brackets so that they would appear on screen, but when you type it for real, leave no space. this information can be found in [1] as can all the help you need but it's quite a read! i learned how to use this site by trial and error.

the other issue concerning changing "nicolay (producer)" to just "nicolay", is that there's already a page that exists with that name. once a page exists with an identical name to your article you simply have to use the brackets. one way to make it easier however is to create a disambiguation page. i've never created one before so i don't know the proper procedure.

the tone of the article is similar to a magizine and has a hint of biasness which means eventually someone will swoop through and edit it, probably heavily too. if you want to save your writings it's a good idea to edit that to make it sound more neutral. it's simply because wikipedia is an encyclopedia and thus it shouldnt contain POV wording.

hope all of that was helpful. if you need to know more just let me know. - Majik43, 02:46, 1st Nov, '06.
