Your vote on UDWiki:Administration/Policy Discussion/English Administration

Could you please fix up the formatting on your vote there? The formatting is very confusing and ambiguous. Thanks. Linkthewindow  Talk  08:43, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

You're right

Archived every month. And its quite easy. Just click edit on the shackleville page, cut the news, and then paste it to the top of Shackleville/News Archive --Rosslessness 22:05, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Generally, it's also not archived immediately after we switch to the new month, since some of the news could still be recent. We have one wiki editor who comes through and does all of the suburbs on the 12th of the month or so, however, so he'd get to it sooner or later, I'm sure. Aichon 01:38, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
Alright, thanks for the clarification. -Lord Hawthorne 01:43, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Missed?

I sorta doubt it. Anyway, I vaguely remember you. Looking at our member roster, it seems you joined up really early. Ah, back when there were like 4 of us and even the local rats hadn't heard of us. You must have been one brave or foolish person to do whatever it was we did back then. Probably involved something dumb like spraypainting zombies. But it is nice to hear from someone from Ghetto Cow's past. I don't ever check the wiki and almost never that email, but I happened to today which is kinda weird. Maybe I should come back for a bit. I don't know, running a group and stuff was really addictive so I'm scared, plot plot...--Lachryma 06:56, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

It's okay, we all can't be creative and amazing. So what have you been up to in Malton? Wandering around and trying to look threatening or something?--Lachryma 07:00, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
My good sir, lrn2wiki. Colons do wonderful things that spaces just can't accomplish. Moving along, essays? I'm an English major so those are basically my life. Tell us of them.--Lachryma 07:12, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
You are clearly a psychopath for liking Catcher in the Rye. Enjoy your crazy crazy life. What else are you guys reading? It's weird though, I only read The Great Gatsby for the first time this semester, though I had seen the movie. I ended up writing a paper on it, except my class rocks and I got to do a creative response. I imagined Nick 20 years later thinking about stuff, got a decent grade so that was cool. But yeah I'm in college. Though not right this second because it's Thanksgiving break, briefly.--Lachryma 07:22, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
The ending was confusing as well. Damn it Holden. Um, whatever mister, I liked Nick. You probably were a fan of Tom and his racist ways. I've never even heard of that Mona thing, therefore I don't care. Speak of the literary magazine. Bonus points for actual alliterative abuse.--Lachryma 07:35, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
You ever read The Waste Land? I really should one of these days. What's the zombie staff page though? And what sort of things will you submit? I got rejected by a literary magazine recently, it was great. I think I might write something more up their alley and send that in for the hell of it.--Lachryma 07:53, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
Haha, no, it's a student run lit mag that I was rejected from. Two of my friends are editors actually, though I asked them not to weigh in on my story. So I'm not being oppressed by The Man or anything. But yeah I'd love to see this zombie staff page. And I like how you write poetry but don't read it. Well my copy of that poem has footnotes so I will know most of the references etc by the time I get through it, however long that takes. So what kind of stuff do you write?--Lachryma 08:05, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
Strange, I was about to say bye for now too. Interesting excerpt. Lots of allusions, impressive. Perhaps, as you wish, I'll read it first with the footnotes covered up.
Personal experience, fair enough. I mostly write fantasy or science fiction (I read all sorts of things) but I really should broaden my horizons into more serious, realistic business. On that note, laterz.--Lachryma 08:22, 26 November 2009 (UTC)


HEY! I WAS AROUND UD BEFORE THE START OF GC AND I'M STILL HERE! >:( -- SA 08:42, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Yeah well you ignored our presence for months and months. Anyway Mister Hawthorne, I'll think about starting up a temporary (maybe) group later in December (maybe). It'll be like three of us and we shall walk the Earth while all the new ruined features get explained to me.--Lachryma 20:15, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
what is this im not good with computer --User:Suicidalangel
I see your silly hidden text with edits! Yeah I love how reliable and definite you are, Lach. BUt clearly being an ENGLISH MAJOR is much more important than leadership in a tech based games. pffffft. Everyone knows that English majors go on to do anything and everything after undergrad. -Lord Hawthorne 21:06, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
Nuh uh, they don't go on to do ANYTHING!-- SA 21:13, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
Blah blah blah. You guys are doing a horrible job convincing me to come back. Though maybe that's not the point.--Lachryma 22:24, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Welcome aboard!

Hi Lord Hawthorne! As we can see, you made your first edits to this wiki not long ago. It's OK to be new, and we encourage new blood to join and enrich our community. At the same time, we understand that no one is a perfect wiki editor straight off the bat, and, just in case you get stuck, here're some useful tips to help you out. Please take the time to read them.

General Editing
  • Never delete someone else's edits, comments, responses, etc. off community pages. To do so is considered vandalism.
  • If you write a comment it's useful to sign it so that other editors will know who wrote it. You can write "~~~~" at the end of your comment to sign it, or there's this button Sign.png on the top of the edit page that will sign for you if you want.
  • You may want to know how your edits will look before they have been saved, to make sure that nothing is wrong. Use the "Preview" button before the "Save" button - it's your friend!
  • If you're slow in your editing and there's an editing conflict, you might not understand the error that you get. The easiest way to overcome the edit conflict is to copy whatever you have been writing, go back with your browser, and then re-enter the edit page so that you can add your edits without deleting those made before yours.
  • The wiki is a collaborative project, please do your best to work well with fellow editors.

Further help for editing the wiki can be found on the Help page.

Project Mentor

Project Mentor has been set up to allow new wiki users to have a more experienced wiki veteran mentor them for the first few weeks. Visit its page for more information!

Your User Page

One of the great things about the wiki is that every user can have his or her own user page! These pages are located in the User: namespace — in other words, they all begin with "User:" (yours is User:Lord Hawthorne). The appropriate place to write about yourself or your characters is on your user page, or a subpage of that page (e.g., User:Lord Hawthorne/Your Character's Name). Please don't create pages about yourself outside the User: namespace. Those pages will be moved into subpages of your user page, and the original speedily deleted. If you want something to be deleted, use the speedy deletion page; that's why Criterion 7 was made.

User Talk Pages

Every user has a talk page, found by clicking the "discussion" link at the top of his or her user page, or by going directly to it (yours would be User talk:Lord Hawthorne). If you have a question for someone, or want to say something to him or her, his or her user talk page is the place.

However, many users on the wiki have established specific guidelines for how their user talk pages are to be treated — where new comments should go, how they should be written, what is or is not okay to talk about, etc. Be sure to look for guidelines on the talk page before you leave a comment.

If you don't see any guidelines specified, the assumption is that you should place your comment at the bottom of the talk page, under a level 2 heading. This can be accomplished by clicking the "+" link next to the "edit" tab at the top of the talk page, or by manually typing in your message in this format:

==Message title==

Your message goes here

When replying to a comment already laid on the page, remember to indent it correctly: do it by inserting as many colons plus one to the message you're replying to at the begining of your message, like this:

==Message title==

Your message

:User's reply

::Your reply
The Suggestions Page

We know that as a new user, you want to share your ideas with us. But a community as big as ours has already seen all kind of suggestions, and it's possible that we've already seen something very similar to the ideas you have. Follow these simple guidelines to make sure that your suggestion gets the respect that it deserves:

  • We strongly recommend that you read the Suggestions Dos and Do Nots and the Frequently Suggested Ideas pages so that you will have an idea of what kind of suggestions are likely to be accepted and what kind are ridiculous in the eyes of the community. The pages might look long and time-consuming to read, but you will find them entertaining and helpful.
  • You might also want to look at the Previous Days Suggestions. These contain a record of all previous suggestions. Use the search function in your browser to search for keywords relating to the suggestion you want to make.
  • It may be helpful to wait a few days to get a feel for the wiki and the other users before subjecting your idea to any possible criticism. If you're unsure, the Suggestions Discussion page is good neutral territory to suggest, gather feedback, and refine your idea before officially submitting it.
  • Write your suggestion according to these steps. If it looks too complicated for you, ask for help.
  • You can't modify a suggestion that you've written once it has been posted on the Suggestions page. You can withdraw and resubmit it with changes later, but only do that if people liked your original suggestion while requesting changes, not if it was Spaminated.
  • If you get stuck at ANY point in writing your suggestion, ask for help. There's no shame in being new and after a few times, you'll get the hang of it.
Additional Contacts

If there's anything not covered by this introduction, you still have plenty of avenues to find some extra help. Project Welcome and Project Mentor are perfect starting points, but if you have something more pressing at hand, don't be afraid to get in touch with the administration staff.

Remember: These guidelines may look difficult to learn and follow, but they're mainly just common sense! Think about what you're going to say or do before you do it! If you don't make an effort to do so, then why would others have the obligation to be nice to you? Feel free to ask any Project Welcome member if you need help, that's our purpose anyways!

If you want to delete this text, just delete the {{Welcomenewbie}} line from your talk page. Remember that you can always have access to these tips on the Project Welcome/Welcomenewbie page.
