Frequently asked questions

Where can I learn more about editing Wikipedia?
- The best place to start is at the Help Desk. Other useful links include the style guide, the list of policies and guidelines, and the guide to editing. Please feel free to ask on my talk page if you have any questions.
Why was the link I added removed from an article?
- Typically, links are removed because they fail the external links guideline. Although many links are deleted because they were placed by spammers, links to good sites are also removed on a regular basis. This is because Wikipedia isn't a directory service; the mere fact a site exists does not mean it warrants a link.
Why was my article deleted?
- Pages can be deleted for many reasons; there are very specific criteria that govern the process. Please review this article for more information.
Why was information relating to my company or organization removed?
- This is a very common question, based on a misunderstanding of Wikipedia's purpose. This project is not a directory, forum, or search engine, and as such it is not a place for you to post advertisements about your company or your product.
Why were my spelling changes reverted?

Wikipedia's Manual of Style recommends the use of regional varieties of English, based on the topic and the article's contribution history. Please avoid changing spellings unless they differ from the appropriate version. Most spell checking software can be configured to use British and American English; some extend this to include other varieties such as Canadian or Australian English.

List of spherical astronomical bodies in the Solar System

I was wondering since you and Dajorca are the only other significant contributors to this article, would you be interested in being listed as a co-nominator if it goes to FLC? Also, I'm pretty sure you used NASA planet factsheets and NASA Solar System exploration factsheets for the planets and Pluto, but I was wondering which sources you used for Ceres and Eris. Thanks.

In my contrib checker, you're listed as having made 14 revisions, which places you second after me. Serendi ^podous 21:52, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, looking at the history, you don't appear to have supplied the figures for the list. Looks like I'll have to track them down the hard way. Serendi ^podous 22:09, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ironically, both Ceres and Eris were added by anonymous users, so I'll never learn where they got their info from. Serendi ^podous 22:16, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

nav shortcuts

Hiya.. thanks for the reply. I've seen that before, but I have some sort of mental block about looking on the left for links, mostly; I guess it's b/c I'm used to hitting tabs at the top of the page for most basic functions. I may just try fiddling :D [ roux ] [x] 20:12, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Cheetah Girls image

Ckatz, you've used your administrator privileges in a debate you have been involved in. This is highly inappropriate for an administrator. Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Tango#Use_of_administrative_tools_in_a_dispute, Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Matthew_Hoffman#Administrators:_use_of_administrative_tools_in_a_dispute and Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Dbachmann#Administrators:_use_of_administrative_tools_in_a_dispute, all of which were decided this year. With respect, you are out of line. I'm giving you an opportunity to reverse your actions. I strongly suggest you do so. Whether or not there is a WP:POINT violation is not for you to decide. Regardless, there has been no disruption and at least one other editor feels that the image met with the requirements of our policies. --Hammersoft (talk) 20:47, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but you are completely mistaken. Removing the "Cheetah Girls" image is in no way whatsoever an "administrative action", does not involve any administrative tools, and is based entirely on reading the appropriate guideline and comments made by other editors at the Doctor Who image discussion. Any user, even including an anonymous IP, can make that edit. --Ckatz^chat_spy 20:50, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I stand corrected. I presumed you had deleted the image, and mistakenly missed the image in my contributions. My apologies. Regardless, I have reverted your removal because at least one other editor feels this is an appropriate addition [1]. I fully intend on creating more of these montages should the companions image pass, and have no intention of creating more until this debate closes. Again, my apologies for the mistaken conclusion on my part. All the best, --Hammersoft (talk) 20:58, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

watchgossipgirl.com

Hi. I see you blacklisted this domain. We'll probably get a removal request eventually and it would help if we had some information for the record. Could leave something at MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist#Proposed additions? That would be very helpful in the future. Just use the {{UserSummary}}, {{IPSummary}}, and {{LinkSummary}} templates to list the accounts and domains. That will also flag us to look for other domains to blacklist as well as any cross-wiki spam.

Thanks! --A. B. ^{(talk • contribs)} 20:54, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Order of the Arrow COI Question

Hi. I noticed that you offered a much needed neutral point of view a few months ago in a debate similar to one I'm having now. If you have the time can you have a look at Talk:Order_of_the_Arrow#Inclusion_of_.22Safeguarded_Material.22. Thanks --Spirit76 (talk) 15:59, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

MP vs. DP

Since DP's, including Pluto, are given minor planet numbers, doesn't that make them minor planets? kwami (talk) 18:59, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

I knew that sooner or later someone who I had tagged for vandalism would do something about it. I am quite pleased actually that it took as long as it did. Thanks for catching it. --KenWalker | Talk 04:09, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Photo slideshow software

Ckatz, why do you remove my addition in Photo_slideshow_software article? CaptainDrony (talk) 10:24, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

MOSLINK

Yes, you're right. Sorry about that. Tony (talk) 10:34, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reading material you provided to User:Bosniak Atheist

Hi!

Just to let you know, he's already been provided with some of that same reading material after he requested it but then he deleted it, along with some other discussions, on this edit.

Peace! SWik78 (talk • contribs) 18:00, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just trying to help

My understanding of Wikipedia is that it's a place for people to find information about a topic.

I would not expect WP to have EVERYTHING about a city, but a link to a free forum that focuses primarily on local information, news, and activities seemed appropriate.

My apologies for misunderstanding WP. It was not meant as advertising (as we don't get anything for the forum)...just meant for information for users of WP.
