Tip of the day...


Advanced signatures

It is good Wikiquette to sign your messages on talk pages. This is done by typing ~~~~ (four tildes). Do not sign article pages.

Some users have fancy signatures with lots of colors and links. Here are 3 different ways to do that:

  1. Edit directly in the signature box
    1. Go to your Preferences and type some wiki-markup code (and/or HTML markup code) into the signature box to augment your stock signature
    2. Check the box that says "Treat the above as Wiki markup"
    3. Press the "Save" button. Or...
  2. Use an HTML editor
    1. Open an HTML editor (e.g. Adobe Dreamweaver or Microsoft Expression Web)
    2. Design how you want your signature to look, putting links in it by adding brackets [[ ]]
    3. Select it and click the HTML tab and copy the code of your text into the signature box mentioned above.
    4. Be sure not to copy the tags at the beginning and end of the code that say <p> </p>. Or...
  3. Adapt someone else's signature
    1. Find a signature you like
    2. Click edit this page
    3. Copy and paste the signature into your signature box (see #1 above), but change all the links to your links: you do not want your signature leading to someone else's user page!

Do not use images, templates, or external links in your signature. Please ensure your custom signature complies with the relevant guideline. Use special code for displayed pipe character.


To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{totd}}.

Revision to Poloc Cricket Club entry

I've re-done the entry for Poloc Cricket Club that, I think, you edited and "knocked back". Sorry if these aren't the correct terms but I am new to WIKIPEDIA. Can you now re-review the entry and let me know whether it is now "acceptable". Many thanks.

Debt-based monetary system is a term used by conspiracy theorists, critical of the Federal Reserve. It isn't used by economists. There is no information in that article that isn't to be found in the rest of Wikipedia's articles on monetary policy. The article exists to push a certain POV about fractional reserve. See the talk page. 69.138.16.202 (talk) 17:09, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have been at Wikipedia for some time, and I know that there is usually a formal AfD discussion before an article is arbitrarily redirected. Also, as an IP user, I wonder what formal experience you have to make these decisions. Excuse me if that sounds rude, just, this seems to conflict with what my experiences tell.

There was an extensive discussion on Talk:Debt-based monetary system. Discussion is not warranted for terms used by conspiracy theorists, in order to push a POV. Wikipedia is about being bold. 69.138.16.202 (talk) 17:20, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
There was no formal decision to redirect the page. Wikipedia is about being bold, but such unwarranted changes as a page redirect is not covered under that policy. Nol888(Talk)(Review) 17:25, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
There was a lengthy discussion and in any case, there doesn't always need to be a discussion if the article is obviously junk. 69.138.16.202 (talk) 17:27, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
